Did Anthony Fauci tell NBC's Chuck Todd that masking could continue indefinitely?
I don't see that happening.

When I saw this, I wondered too until I read that it’s recommended if you’re going directly from one place to another another. No cross contamination from taking on and off.And I suppose there'll also be the section that will keep wearing one even in their own cars while driving
Let's just hope and pray those who're vulnerable don't catch anything serious, regardless of what they do or don't do. Taking responsibility for your own health is to your credit, IMO.When I saw this, I wondered too until I read that it’s recommended if you’re going directly from one place to another another.

Since both of us are vulnerable, I expect to wear a mask for a long time and will definitely do so if near an anti-vaxxer. Or on an airplane.
With the droplet vs aerosol argument, masks would prevent or minimize spread of the "regular flu", though. I can buy it.I found Fauci's suggesting that masking knocked out the flu (to almost zero) when it didn't stop covid to fall somewhere between "say what" and " isn't that convenient". Fauci has, for better or worse, now become fodder for the cartoonists.
No, he said that people might conceivably elect to wear masks, as data shows mask wearing(and other measures) directed at Covid spread also drastically reduced the annual flu season.Did Anthony Fauci tell NBC's Chuck Todd that masking could continue indefinitely?

I quite sure that was your reaction.I found Fauci's suggesting that masking knocked out the flu (to almost zero) when it didn't stop covid to fall somewhere between "say what" and " isn't that convenient".
That's always the plight of being a public figure. I'm sure Dr. Fauci pays no mind to such buffoonish detractors.Fauci has, for better or worse, now become fodder for the cartoonists.
Well, hello to you too. It was really nice of you to come along and answer the question I asked. Did you not trust the video to provide the answer to people who might inquire? It was a fair question given Fauci's trajectory of responses.No, he said that people might conceivably elect to wear masks, as data shows mask wearing(and other measures) directed at Covid spread also drastically reduced the annual flu season.
On the contrary, the posted video was quite clear, those who did watch it would learn directly what Dr. Fauci did say.Well, hello to you too.

Whatever makes you happy.On the contrary, the posted video was quite clear, those who did watch it would learn directly what Dr. Fauci did say.
Thank you, It really doesn't take much, I have simple tastes- like for reality and the truth.Whatever makes you happy.
Spoken like a true politician on the stump.Thank you, It really doesn't take much, I have simple tastes- like for reality and the truth.l.
That's actually amusing, I assume you meant it as such.Spoken like a true politician on the stump.
How would you know if you are near an anti-vaxxer? Also, if you are vaccinated, if you catch the virus - according to the Studies.. you should get a mild case. Maybe I am missing something??? Hopefully they will come up with a better vaccine soon. However, something is better than nothing.When I saw this, I wondered too until I read that it’s recommended if you’re going directly from one place to another another.

What really gets my goat, Chic, is people who get sick and carry on as if life is normal. I'm referring to the common cold and flu bug season.I do think Dr. F meant they would be worn seasonally but what is going to happen every winter? Masks mandates to prevent people from catching the flu? It just seems extreme. As long as it's not mandated, I don't care what other people decide to do. It's their choice.
Last year, I predicted that some "experts" would credit masking & 6-ft social distancing to fewer flu cases & I've been laughing ever since.I found Fauci's suggesting that masking knocked out the flu (to almost zero) when it didn't stop covid to fall somewhere between "say what" and " isn't that convenient".

Unfortunately, I won’t know with strangers. There have been some very vocal anti-vaxxers locally. If I can’t avoid them, I’ll wear a mask.How would you know if you are near an anti-vaxxer?

Do you work or need to? Do you live in a mask mandate state?What really gets my goat, Chic, is people who get sick and carry on as if life is normal. I'm referring to the common cold and flu bug season.
Personally, I would love to see a mandatory seasonal mask wearing order implemented starting in the fall and ending in the early spring for such.
I don't work, but here in Canada, we are under a mandatory mask wearing order and have been for quite some time.Do you work or need to? Do you live in a mask mandate state?
