COVID Mask Mandates Return to Hospitals in Five States
Newsweek ^ | 12/29/2023 | Aliss Higham

Posted on 12/29/2023 12:55:21 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Hospitals across the U.S. are reinstating COVID-19 mask mandates as the JN.1 variant becomes the dominant strain spreading throughout the country.

Hospitals in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Washington D.C. have all brought back divisive rules meaning masks are mandatory for selected people in medical settings. The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control has recorded a 10.4 percent increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations across America in the week leading up to December 16. There has been an increase of 3.4 percent in deaths related to coronavirus in the same period. Newsweek has contacted the CDC for comment via email.

Mask mandates have long been controversial since they were implemented during the coronavirus pandemic, which reached the U.S. in early 2020. Medical professionals and the CDC have consistently advocated for mask wearing, including outside of doctor's office or hospital. Currently, no state in the country has a mandatory mask policy for any indoor and outdoor setting.

Well, I hope the hospitals are providing them because I don’t own any masks and don’t plan on buying any.

These “medical professionals” — more likely, the non-medical-professional hospital administrators — are either ignorant of the complete ineffectiveness of a face mask (even a properly selected, properly applied and fit-tested, properly worn and properly maintained mask, even the much-touted N95 and surgical masks worn by a person trained in their use) to affect transmission of a respiratory virus including the Fauci Flu, or these “medical professionals” are outright lying by conducting the potentially seriously unhealthful practice of political science passed off as medical science. It must be one or the other.

4 States and the Capital, Newsweak. How can you take this publication seriously when they don't know that D.C. is not a State.

Well, at least the magic masks clearly identify the certifiably insane.

They worked so well during COVID that almost no one died in hospital settings, right? Right?

Oh, never mind. They didn't work at all. Ooops.
