    Democrats support the reinstituting or continuation of COVID-19 mask mandates, despite the majority of Americans saying they oppose the idea, a new poll says.

    A Monmouth University poll released Monday asked respondents whether they "support or oppose instituting, or reinstituting, face mask and social distancing
    guidelines" in their state at the current time. Sixty percent of Democrats said they support it, compared with 12% of Republicans.

    Overall, only 34% of respondents said they support continued mask mandates, while 62% said they oppose….

    I
    t seems that the leadership of the democrat party is not alone in wanting to impose itself upon everyone else. It’s like a form of identity for them. 6 in 10 democrats want this while only 1 in 8 Republicans do. 5x the % of blue support this compared to red.

    As if the Dems think that they will ever compel that upon the rest of us again over this particular illness issue. Forget about it.

    Of course, they are the Party of Crime. it stands to reason they would continue to support masks to help them commit and get away with more crime.

    Then don't go to a hospital, phyician's office or even a clinic because that is really the only place, across the United States, where masks are still mandated. However, if a person does wear a mask or if a busienss mandates their employees to wear a mask, we don't need the conservative Karen's of the world to act like Nazis, do we? Nor should we shame people for not wearing a mask when it is not mandated either by the other Karens

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly half of the 500 million free COVID-19 tests the Biden administration recently made available to the public still have not been claimed as virus cases plummet and people feel less urgency to test.
    Feb 27th.

    29% of the population have received a booster dose. Let's hope these 2 new variants don't explode, as our country, is not prepared.

    65% of the US hasn't even taken a first dose of the COVID vaccine.

    That means that 2% of 35% of the US population will die. Personally, I hope they are all Republicans or Trump supporters. Darwinian selection at it's finest. The stupid get removed from the gene pool.

    This is not an insult, nor is it intended as one. It's reality.

    Actually the statistics as demonstrated in my other seed about red and blue states do not support your contention or fondest hope.

    But you are an anti-masker, anti-vaxer, Trump supporter, biased, and just plain wrong.

    Democrats are just killing themselves prior to the midterms. People dont want masks but they're already mandating them again. Also, Democrats cant claim they beat the kung flu if they mandate marks and that's gonna hurt them, too. Add in all the other miseries Biden is creating and its basically suicide by liberalism.

    Riiiiiiiight.

    What's good for United States citizens is bad for Democrats.
    What's bad for the United States citizens is good for Republicans.

    My apologies. I mis-spoke.

    Only 65% of the US has completed a course of the COVID vaccine. That means that 2% of 35% of the US population will die.

    Who decides what's good for US citizens? Biden and Democrats havent done anything good for America and Americans. Are open borders good? Inflation? Empty shelves? High crimes? Grooming kids? Name something Biden has done for you and me.

    I don't want a mask mandate either, but I won't cry like a bitch if a business in my State has one.

    Did you mean received a DOSE of the vaccine? I was unaware so many people had taken classes on it, especially with the nationwide teacher shortage.

    I could use the OT - I'd have signed up to teach a few classes.

    Yeah, I got a few free tests. They are marked "iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, FDA" Made in China. https://ihealthlabs.com/

    Andon Health is the parent Chinese company of iHealth. I feel less urgency to test a made in China product too, I'll leave that to the Biden voters.

    I think we were the last state to remove the mask mandate. At that time we had the same rates as our Northern neighbor Colorado. When the mandate was removed, there was absolutely no increase in cases. The masks did absolutely nothing.

    12% of Republicans said they want mask mandates to remain, so seems bipartisan

    That’s funny I feel the same way when homosexuals commit suicide or catch aids.

    That’s kinda mean isn’t it? On both our parts. But like you say, natural selection at its finest.

    Btw this is not intended as an insult, it’s just reality.

    I wish that were true, but it's not. I'm guessing you haven't taken a commercial flight lately, have you?

    U.S. extends airplane mask mandate through April 18 (cnbc.com)

    And today is ... * checks date * ... April 12th. 12 < 18. And if you're thinking, "I was only off by less than a week", well, there's more bad news on the horizon:

    Where are you getting this idea from? First of all, the CFR of COVID-19 here in America is something like 1.2%, not 2%. But more importantly for your hope here, not everyone gets COVID. Despite all the "super-spreader events" and variants and surges, we've barely recorded 80 million cases among the US population of ~330 million (and less than 1 million deaths).
