CDC Urges Wearing Masks As More States Reopen | TODAY

There is no way I will stop from wearing my mask the minute I leave my home! All my kids wear them and my family does too.

I do their bidding because I don't want to be shunned by my local community but this is hilarious, almost a year ago to this day:
“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.” - Dr. Fauci March 8, 2020.

Lifting restrictions is way too soon. With all the variants, it is necessary to remain vigilant. Please continue to wear your masks and continue all of the other guidelines.

I keep seeing people in this comment section saying that they don’t have to wear a mask. Y’all do know that you’re posting a great threat to others? mask do help a lot actually (also sanitizing and staying clean) so wear your mask. Idc if you say that “I dOnT HaVe To WeAr OnE bEcAuSe I’m So OvEr CoVid” like thats not how it works honey.

Wear one if you want: leave those alone who don’t want to.

The real contagion they don’t want you to spread, and which face masks are effective against, is courage. Namely your courage. Because that little step of courageous behavior will make the next step all the more attainable, all the more simple, will give birth to even more courage within you. Before you know it, those watching you, those hungry for the slightest true leadership, those who deep down know that something isn’t right, they too are taking those first steps courageously. ~ Allan Stevo

Key word “urges” these crooks have NO AUTHORITY OVER YOU... you consent thru your fear of something you can’t even see, except on tv. Where does a corporation or governors get authority from that’s over written law? No where accept made up. People are dying in their sin and are encouraged to live in fear by those who say they are here to save us.

I will continue to wear masks until the foreseeable future. Just because people are vaccinated doesn't guarantee the virus will be gone. We don't know, only the experts know for sure what our future will look like. Yes, it's a choice whether people should wear a mask or not. I choose to because I'm not taking any chances. It's not _fear_ but, it's common sense.

How irresponsible of texas and Mississippi, to roll back guidelines and mandates, we are still in a pandemic, and Covid cases are rising again in these states, hope these governors will be able to sleep at night, putting so many people lives at risk.😔

[Goldengurl]

Wtf is happening in this world?.. okay let's all back to normal guys.. Thats all I have to say!! Ungrateful ppl!! People are still dying!

[Andy_Holmes]

Decades old fetal tissue sounds like fun! I'll roll up my sleeve.

[ellenyoungblood]

Lifting the mandate, opening the state and continuing to allow individuals to make informed ADULT decisions while allowing businesses to ask patrons to wear masks when needed. Refreshing!
