CDC Feels N-95 Masks Are What We Should Have Worn All Along - May Soon Mandate N-95 for All.

Or are just majorly of cases from omicron that has a lower mortality rate.

Spin and spin and spin…


Anyway, what is the truth…

UK COVID-19 death toll exceeds 150,000 after Omicron surge

Britain's death rate is 7% higher than the European Union average, according to figures collated by Our World in Data.

Here is a freedom of information revelation about covid deaths in the UK:

Total of deaths from covid alone (with no other underlying causes) 17,371.

But there have been 50,000 extra cancer deaths.

The trend was observed before the Omicron variant, so it' unrelated, and the UK death rate is largely down to two things, firstly the increased rate of obesity and diabetes, and two the UK using a different method of defining who died from covid and who didn't.

Something like this?

CDC Further Affirms - Cloth Masks Don't Work against Viruses. Never Did.

This latest reversal in a long line of trust-eroding flip-flops, means a victory lap is well deserved by people like Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who was censored by Google-owned YouTube for suggesting that cloth masks don’t work and N95s do.

It’s also deserved by everyone who refused to hang a piece of useless fabric from their ears at every restaurant, store, and airport for the sole purpose of fitting into the popular political narrative.

CDC Flips back to what they've said for decades: thefederalist.com...

How can the people in charge of our country become so indignant, when we don't believe what they say outright? We know how they lie and deceive. Do they not realize this?

What ever happened to AaarghZombies? Too much reality?

As of 2.22.2022 (Sh*t hit the fans day.)

It's amazing there are 9 states that still mandate wearing the little paper diapers in public locations!

Here's the list of states run by irrational dictators: www.aarp.org...

If you live in one, be aware that the individuals in charge will find other ways to control and restrict your life, after this mask fiasco has passed. It's in their blood now, and they'll be looking for their next "fix", quickly.

We’re supposed to be mandated for wearing the Noxious95’s at work here in Sieg Heilgeles. I’m surprised at the number of people not complying, even the principal.

The CDC knew when Covid-19 first appeared, the only mask that could successfully reduce person-to-person transmission of the virus to a minimum, was the "N-95" quality face mask. The "95" means it stops 95% of viruses/germs from passing through it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci was way off-base back when Covid-19 was getting a foothold in America. He said Americans Should NOT wear a mask of any kind.

(Evidence points to his bad advice being intentional, but that's another thread!)

-------------

A couple of months later, the CDC-Fauci began recommending that everyone wear a mask, without specifying what qualified as a suitable mask to protect against the fast-spreading Covid-19 virus. Since March 2020, Americans have been wearing all types of masks and face-coverings.

So fast-forward to January 2022. after almost 2 years of Americans wearing cloth, paper, and bandana-type masks, the U.S. Center for Disease Control & Dr. Fauci are considering strengthening the mask recommendation to make everyone wear N-95 quality masks, or be deemed as "non-compliant".

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering a change to its mask guidance as the omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus continues to circulate across the country, The Washington Post is reporting.

The CDC will probably advise people to use the N95 or KN85 mask instead of a cloth mask, the Post reported. The N95 masks are the type used by health care personnel.

“The agency is currently actively looking to update its recommendations for KN95 and N95 in light of omicron,” according to an unnamed official the Post identified as a source close to the negotiations. “We know these masks provide better filtration.”

While many people use a cloth mask to cover their nose and mouth when they are indoors, the CDC guidance is expected to say that if people can tolerate wearing a KN95 or N95 mask all day, they should.

The CDC’s current guidance says a mask should fit snugly, be made of at least two layers of breathable fabric and have a wire bridge around the nose that helps the wearer make a more snug fit.

How many ATS members will take this new guidance seriously, and go purchase N-95 quality masks, if you don't wear them already?

I'm not. I'm filled with Covid-19 antibodies.

The Liberal Media is portraying this soon-to-be-announced CDC relaxation of Mask-wearing guidelines, as something we should all be on our knees thanking Walensky, and Fauci for allowing us to do.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration will significantly loosen federal mask-wearing guidelines to protect against COVID-19 transmission on Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, meaning most Americans will no longer be advised to wear masks in indoor public settings.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday will announce a change to the metrics it uses to determine whether to recommend face coverings, shifting from looking at COVID-19 case counts to a more holistic view of risk from the coronavirus to a community. Under current guidelines, masks are recommended for people residing in communities of substantial or high transmission — roughly 95% of U.S. counties, according to the latest data.

The new metrics will still consider caseloads, but also take into account hospitalizations and local hospital capacity, which have been markedly improved during the emergence of the omicron variant.

Want to bet this relaxation of CDC oppression is related to not only the big Trucker protest, but also to give President Biden something to brag about next Tuesday in his State of the Union speech. (i.e. We have brought Covid Under Control!).
