Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Sunday that mask-wearing could eventually become “seasonal” as protection against ailments like the flu that can also be spread through the air.
He said Americans over the course of the pandemic have gotten used to wearing face coverings, which “diminishes respiratory diseases.”
“We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19,” Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“So it is conceivable that as we go on, a year or two or more from now, that during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory-borne viruses like the flu, people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you’ll spread these respiratory-borne diseases,” Fauci continued.

Hopefully trials and other legal actions against corrupt government and non governmental persons will become a seasonal matter also.
There is NO SCIENCE demonstrating a diaper over your face will prevent the transmission of a respiratory virus. Somebody needs to lock this clown up finally.
If he would go away, he’s welcome to wear one for the rest of his life.
Did we just become Japan wearing masks year round?
“...seasonal...” ...as in, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
“We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because ...”
Ah, the “because” on that would be telling.
Fauci and his peers here and abroad need to stop the spread of variants.
Hopefully, the vaccine makers can keep up with variants.
Is this now snowflake, feel better “science?”
There’s never the right season. Too bad about that.
Oh, the fauxcheeze fa Q surprise huh? Well someone in the northwest is already working on making the maskers ball a permanent thing. WA or OR. Don’t remember which. How in the hell do any conservative continue to live in these places?
STFU
Supposedly there are 10,000 variant infections coming out of Florida after spring break. That gosh darn DeSantis.
No, because they called the flu *COVID*.
I was sick a few times this year and got tested after one of the episodes that I was SURE was not COVID because the symptoms were not right for it,and every medical person makes excuses as to why every symptom could have meant COVID.
Fever? COVID.
Achy? COVID.
Toe rash? COVID (YUP, that's what someone told me)
Short duration? COVID.
Whatever the symptom, no matter how mild or how short in duration, they freaked out and said I should,get tested because you never know. Those symptoms could have been symptoms of COVID. Did I get the vaccine yet?
They are absolutely paranoid about it. It's like there's nothing else on the planet by killer COVID.
Fauci needs to face a tribunal for genocide and crimes against humanity and either hang or face a firing squad. Same goes for xi jinping.
I knew this would becthe goal, now it’ll be for the flu every year as well.
“We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19,” Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
And if fewer people would drive then there would be fewer car accidents. And if people would stop showering then there would be fewer bathroom accidents. Living your life has risks.
“If he would go away, he’s welcome to wear one for the rest of his life.”
I can tie mine tightly around his neck til his face turns purple.
Look at this for example. Why the hell is Obama giving it to Biden? For what? What has this ass ever done in his half century in politics? If politics were a private company Biden would have had his ass fired 49 years ago.
Barbara Streisand? For what? For having 3 hit songs 50 years ago?
Ellen Degeneres? WTH?? What for? Because she's a dyke??
And these same a-holes gave Trump hell because he gave the medal to Rush! If it wasn't for Rush, 100% of our media today would have been leftist propaganda. And he got it mere months before his death.
