The total duration of mask mandates during the Spanish Flu pandemic was 4-6 weeks. We’re zooming past six months on our way to eighteen.
Why?
Because we’re attempting to slow the transmission rate to reducing the risk of it reaching those who would suffer permanent injury or death from catching it until we can wrap up work on safe and effective vaccines and deploy them.
Wearing a mask while indoors in public places and maintaining >6 feet of distance between individuals from different households is a reasonable way to reduce the risk of transmission and slow the disease’s progress through the population. Shutdowns and lockdowns are completely unreasonable given the relative risk. It all ends once we have enough people inoculated, which is why President Trump has spent months pushing to streamline the process to get safe and effective vaccines into the hands of the American people.
Trust the president. He knows what he’s doing. And he’s about to turn this whole COVID mess right on top of the Democrats right before the election.
CHOICE (abortion) has been with us for over 40 years.
This is NOT about ‘protecting lives’!!!
