I have spent the last couple months contacting businesses, schools, government officials asking what metrics or statistics they are tracking to no longer push a mask mandate. In every case the first response is that they are following whatever the CDC says.
So, I have contracted CDC multiple times and they point me to the basic page we have all seen: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html
Then I continued to reiterate my question on what metrics or statistics are being tracked to no longer suggest widespread following of the mask recommendation, but it was repeatedly ignored for weeks.
Finally, the CDC responded with that they will only change the recommendation when science shows masks do not work. So, that effectively means the mask mandate will last forever. It will be impossible to prove a negative.
Please start contracting everyone you can and ask what data is guiding their decisions and policies. We have to make people wake up and realize unelected bureaucrats know nothing and are working towards nothing - and yet we giving them full control.
The study out of South Korea proved they don't work.
