Should the federal government require people to wear face masks in public during the COVID pandemic?
In August 2020 Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden stated that, if elected, he would sign executive order requiring people to wear masks in order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. President Donald Trump stated that he opposed a federal mask mandate and has left it up to the governors of each state to pass their own mandates. The wearing of non-medical face masks was first recommended by the CDC in April 2020 as a supplement to hygiene and physical distancing. This contradicted the U.S. Government’s February 2020 advice which stated that masks did not provide protection against…

the coronavirus isnt real and should tell the truth to the people
@8GX2BJ74yrs4Y
Yes, except for certain medical conditions and person with said medical condition needs to have proof on them of medical condition. Like a card(ID) from doctor.
@8PKYF8R3yrs3Y
No, I look at is as wearing a condom. You run the risk of catching a STD everytime you don’t wear a condom. Same thing as with wearing a mask do you think that wearing a condom should be mandated to prevent STDs? It’s a choice I think everyone should have to wear one or not wear one. Also in certain circumstances like in a hospital or retirement home it should be mandatory.
@8MXK7S53yrs3Y
This should be dependent on the infection rate in a given city
@8LGVTFQ3yrs3Y
No, because masks are inefficient at blocking the virus
@8MMYT9N3yrs3Y
Masks don't do jack squat! It's a set up from the US government that's lying to the public and setting up for the NWO as a source of control! They're blocking our Bill of Rights which is meant to protect the US citizens from governmental officials. Last time I remember, it was "We, the people" not "We, the government"

For instance, the six-feet rule for social distancing “sort of just appeared” without a solid scientific basis. That’s one of the admissions that Members of Congress say the former National Institutes of Health potentate made this week in two days of closed-door testimony to the House…

In a series of developments that have stirred the political landscape, former President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed the presidential bid of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., describing it as 'great for MAGA.' Trump's remarks came after Kennedy announced his vice-presidential pick, further intensifying the political discourse. Trump, in his characteristic style, took to social media to express his views, labeling Kennedy as the 'most radical left' candidate in the race and highlighting the liberal credentials of Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan. Despite his criticism of their political stance, Trump views Kennedy's candidacy as beneficial for his MAGA movement, suggesting it could potentially divide the Democratic vote.Kennedy, a figure who has long been associated with controversial views, particularly on the rule of law and established science, has drawn criticism and concern from various quarters. His decision to run for president and the subsequent endorsement by Trump has sparked a flurry of reactions, with some seeing it as a strategic move that could impact the Democratic Party's chances in the upcoming elections. Allies of President Joe Biden have expressed alarm over Kennedy's bid, fearing it could siphon off crucial votes from the left, thereby posing a significant threat to Biden's reelection efforts.The political dynamics surrounding Kennedy's candidacy and Trump's endorsement underscore the complex and often unpredictable nature of American politics. As the race for the presidency heats up, the strategies employed by candidates and their supporters are coming under increased scrutiny. The potential impact of Kennedy's run on the Democratic vote is a topic of much speculation, with analysts and political observers closely monitoring the situation.Trump's support for Kennedy, despite their ideological differences, highlights the former president's tactical approach to politics. By endorsing a candidate who could potentially weaken his opponents, Trump is playing a strategic game, aiming to maximize his own chances of success. This move has not only added a new dimension to the political landscape but has also raised questions about the future direction of both the Republican and Democratic parties.As the United States gears up for another presidential election, the emergence of candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the reactions they provoke from figures like Donald Trump are indicative of the shifting sands of American politics. With the electorate increasingly polarized, the outcome of the election remains uncertain, and the strategies adopted by candidates will be crucial in determining the path forward.
