    I guess the democrat coffers are bare considering the democrats biggest donor, Sam Bankman-Fried, can't steal anymore money to funnel to the democrat party. Now party leadership is back to their old fear mongering ways and trying to get people to vax up and mask up. Of course, we know where the money ends up.

    Isnt it funny, that dems spent 2 years trying to destroy anyone who compared Covid to the flu, now they are demanding the same Covid measures to stop the flu.

    CDC encourages people to wear masks to help prevent spread of Covid, flu and RSV over the holidays

    • CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said wearing a mask is an everyday precaution that people can take to reduce their chances of catching or spreading a respiratory virus.
    • Flu and respiratory syncytial virus are circulating at high levels at the same time Covid is picking up, straining hospital emergency departments.
    • Walensky strongly encouraged everyone who is eligible to receive their Covid booster and flu shot.


    The Centers for Disease Control Prevention on Monday encouraged people to wear masks to help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses this season as Covid, flu and RSV circulate at the same time.

    CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, in a call with reporters, said wearing a mask is one of several everyday precautions that people can take to reduce their chances of catching or spreading a respiratory virus during the busy holiday season.


    “We also encourage you to wear a high-quality, well-fitting mask to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses,” said Walensky, adding that people living in areas with high levels of Covid transmission should especially consider masking.

    The CDC director said the agency is considering expanding its system of Covid community levels to take into account other respiratory viruses such as the flu. The system is the basis for when CDC advises the public to wear masks. But Walensky encouraged people to take proactive action.

    “One need not wait on CDC action in order to put a mask on,” Walensky said. “We would encourage all of those preventive measures — hand washing, staying home when you’re sick, masking, increased ventilation — during respiratory virus season, but especially in areas of high Covid-19 community levels.”

    So now we should mask for the flu? Why weren't we masking for the flu before 2020?

    Oh, right, because Fauci et. al. said masks would reduce COVID. No, wait, we should not buy masks because that would take them away from hospital-worker supply...Wait..What is the CDC saying now?

    The whole thing is a boonnoggle at this point.
