Is this a joke? CDC to recommend everyone wear N95s in the face of far less virulent Omicron

On my run today, I almost got hit by a car that ran a stop sign while I was about to enter the crosswalk. Fortunately, the driver was wearing a mask, so no COVID worries; however, I was running without a mask, so I suppose the driver feared for her life.

It's actually more virulent , boofhead...

Media hyping up Omicron as the most contagious covid, but they often leave out the news about the most mild and lots of people in Austin TX tested positive for it, but they all walk about like normal. Unlike last year where if you get Covid, you go to the hospital.

It is the only tool at their disposal since vaccines aren’t really working. Hospitals are maxed out and understaffed. Unfortunately, if they had bothered to look at real time data from places like Ontario, they could have seen this coming and taken pre-emptive action. Instead, they pushed vaccinations and hid data to push vaccines that are largely ineffective. You can look at WHO projections and see the impact masking has on the course of Omicron from weeks ago. The data was out there, they simply ignored it to promote a solution that didn’t work. It is a great (even criminal) failure by the CDC and Biden administration to protect its people.

You are the joke. If everyone got vaccinated, everyone wore a N95 mask and quit gathering in large crowds I think we would be closer to the end of the pandemic than in the middle of one. This from a long time registered Republican.

You can always tell when a conservative is telling a joke because he repeats it if no one laughs the first time, thinking no one heard him.

Define everyone. It was admitted that it was never going to happen across the globe, universally with anything like the coordinated timing it would need to stop the escape and movement of the virus /variants. NEVER. It will never happen. Hiding won't help unless you want every American to live in a bubble until they die.

I laughed at CC's joke also. I wouldn't label myself as a conservative or a liberal. Imagine that.

Less virulent, but more transmissible.

And yeah it's a joke. N95s would have been good 1.5 years ago, now there's no point.

Don't worry they change their mind every other day.

The level of incompetence displayed by government at every level on COVID should be enough any rational person needs to never vote Democrat again.

Government is terrible at EVERYTHING it does.

The most incompetent person in the US government also happens to be the highest paid person in government. This doesn't happen anywhere people are spending their own money.

I'm going to leave this here

Joe public ain’t to swift either !! They elected these fools running government.

+1 quadrillion

This is the only true answer.

Take out dream, hope, wish, whim, fantasy, feeling, anger, angst, depression, longing, pleading...and reduce it to pure fact.

This is the only solution.

3M manufactured a surplus and now needs to sell them.

Classic politics.

No such thing as too much safety.

Taking a stance against the masks because 3M is also political.

it is their insatiable need to make people feel like they are doing something. it's the same thing as the thread about coaches who say only breathe through your nose, stride out, boot it, etc.

and the more they double down on the rhetoric, the longer they are going to keep pushing the ridiculous mandates

If N95s will slow down the spread then thousands are dead because the CDC failed to recommend them before.

Obvious that the manufacturers of N95 masks found the right person to bribe.
