CDC Director Walensky on Transit Mask Mandate: There’s ‘a Lot of International Travel’ and People Can’t Always Choose Not to Travel
Breitbart ^ | 03/12/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/12/2022 4:54:00 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview aired on Friday’s edition of ABC’s “Start Here” podcast, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky defended the extension of the transit mask mandate by stating that transportation corridors have “a lot of international travel that it’s hard to disentangle.” And people “may not have their own independence to be able to make a choice as to whether and how they use these transportation corridors.”

Host Brad Mielke asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:00] “If someone is safe to go maskless, right now, in a small, crowded theater. Because it’s a green county, why isn’t that person safe to go on a ferry, like on a boat without a mask?”

Someone should built a sports arena that spans the US - Canada border.

That way a basketball ref can call someone for international traveling.

Once in power they want to stay in power.

Ron DeSantis Warns Leftists ‘Will Impose Restrictions’ After the Midterm Elections
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/03/12/ron-desantis-warns-leftists-will-impose-restrictions-after-the-midterm-elections/

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday warned that leftists, many of whom have experienced a sudden “epiphany” and have lifted remaining coronavirus restrictions in their respective states, will reimpose mandates “if they feel the need” after the midterm elections are over.

“The minute those elections are over, they will impose mandates if they feel the need to do that. They will impose restrictions....

Problem is that masks, even a properly selected, properly applied, properly fit-tested, properly worn and properly maintained mask — which most all do not meet any of these essential conditions — do absolutely nothing to affect transmission of a respiratory virus … including the highly (and falsely) touted N95 and surgical masks even if worn by a person trained in their application, use and maintenance.

By spreading this “misinformation” about the so-called “effectiveness” of masks to control the spread of a respiratory virus, Walensky has destroyed any credibility she may have had to dispense medical advice.

Increases in daily death count. Last two years the graph fell in this time frame.

Nothing works but evacuation of offices and mass transit. You can’t get infected to pass it along to oldsters if you are around no people.

It is pathetic that after 2 years that is the ONLY thing we have seen that worked.

What do masks have to do with rises in the daily death rate?

Masks on Planes and in Airports because the Radical Leftist American Flight Attendants [AFA] Union - AFL-CIO are demanding it. The AFA is calling for Masks in Planes until the end of 2022.

Brain Dead Biden always caves to the Union.

The bitch is no good. She’s desperate to retain control, refusing to take her knee off the neck of travelers.

Masks on airplanes are awful. And the flight attendants are like Nazi prison guards about them. And there’s no evidence Covid ever spread on airplanes—I’d rather be tested or even show a vax passport before a flight than be masked….

No respect ever again for Pilots and FA’s. They are are bunch of cowards. They could have shut this bullchit down.

Haven’t flow since the pandemic and never will as long as face diapers are required. And the Nazi women serving drinks will never get my respect. They can all f right off.

And btw, my Dad was an airline Pilot and my Mom was a Stewardess.
