U.S. Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) announced legislation Wednesday aimed to bring mask mandates to the entire U.S., saying that “overwhelming scientific evidence” has shown that masks reduce the spread of Covid-19, which is now taking a grim toll on the country at levels never before seen.
-The bill would set aside $5 billion in federal funding that would then be given to states and local governments in the form of grants.
-Money would be withheld from states that do not have a mask mandate in place.
-Funding would be contingent upon mandates that require face coverings in public, “including in each place of business,” with some common exceptions, like outdoor spaces where social distancing is of ease, children under the age of two and the eating of food.
-The bill is called the ‘‘Encouraging Masks for All Act of 2020.’’

Those SOBs can come enforce it, because whatever it says, I'm not complying!
Over-promised and never delivered stimulus check FIRST, then we shall see about that mask thing!!
He makes it sound like...if you wash your hands, don't breathe on anyone and clean your counters with virus killers, no one will get it.
Well, millions are doing just that....and they're still getting it.
It's airborne and all over everything.
I'm sure there are millions that got it and we never knew....so any statistics are false.
If this comes to pass, it could lead to a nationwide rebellion against the establishment. Hey, one could only hope!
Attn, Dem senators: Shove your mask up your ass. That is all.
I will give them credit for knowing that the Constitution does not grant the power to require the wearing of certain garments to the U.S. Congress or government. They are attempting to do this the way they coerced the states into requiring the 55 mph speed limit and raising the drinking age to 21—we’ll withhold Federal funds if you don’t do as we demand.
I don’t think its right, but it is how they get around that pesky Constitution (which was written by slave-owning white men and is nowhere near as inspiring as the South African constitution). /s
A respiratory aerosol that carries the 0.003 micron virus is quite a bit larger.
But dont let that stop you from blathering.
oh yea overwhelming climate change scientist get another paycheck...who has the mask concession? pelosi?
Where the F is the authority anywhere in the Constitution or the CFR allowing such???
DeSantis will happily flip off OBiden.
They can’t. Too many studies from now and the past show just the opposite regarding masks and respiratory viruses.
They are obsessed with controlling all of us until we become full fledged robots. NO, thank you!!!
Me ignore anything more than what I do now. How’s that?
Just more proof that the majority of elected officials are STUPID IDIOTS!!!
Their “overwhelming evidence” is “shut up, or we’ll shut you up.”
I could show you overwhelming evidence, but it proves the opposite of what the Dems want. It uses actual, observable technics and repeated results. Sadly, that’s not science to many, they want to use models and emotions. The others just have a straight up evil agenda. Such fun times we’re in.
If there’s so much overwhelming scientific evidence that masks stop the spread of Covid, how come we’re seeing a resurgence in Covid?
