Masks Forever! Joe Biden Tells States to Pause Reopening, Reinstate Mask Mandates

Fact checked
Biden urges states to pauze reopening and reinstate mask mandates

President Joe Biden has urged states to pause reopening and reinstate mask mandates immediately or face the wrath of his administration.

“I’m reiterating my call for every governor, mayor, and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate,” Biden said at the White House on Monday.

“Please, this is not politics. Reinstate the mandate if you let it down.”

Breitbart.com reports: Biden offered Americans a message of both hope and doom. His speech promoted progress in getting the country vaccinated but also warned of impending spikes in cases and hospitalizations.

About seventeen states, led by Republican governors, have either lifted their mask mandates or never enacted them, including highly populated states in Florida and Texas.

“Mask up. Mask up. It’s a patriotic duty. It’s the only way we get back to normal,” he said.

Joe Biden even urged private businesses to continue requiring that customers wear masks.

He pointed to a warning of “impending doom” from Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky earlier Monday, urging Americans to keep following coronavirus restrictions and guidelines.

“This is deadly serious,” Biden said, and added, “The failure to take this virus seriously is what precisely got us into this mess in the first place.

Biden also condemned Americans who continued to travel and party during spring break, predicting a spike of cases as a result.

“New variants are spreading, and sadly, some of the reckless behavior we’ve seen on television over the past few weeks means that more new cases are to come in the weeks ahead,” he said.

Biden said Americans were mistakenly letting up on the coronavirus restrictions.

“Now is not the time to let down. Now is not the time to celebrate,” he said.

At the end of Biden’s comments, reporters asked him if he believed that states currently loosening coronavirus restrictions should pause their efforts.

“Yes,” he replied.

  1. New variants are busily being released from their scientific labs They really must come ip with the real thing sooner or later They know the frauds not going to cut the mustard much longer

    • Indeed. We keep hearing from Gates and world leaders now that more pandemics are coming. It is only a matter of time before something really nasty gets released.

      • I’ve never worn one and never will. I go in any store I chose to and no one has ever said a word to me and I’m not a big guy. I’m 5′-7” @ 140 lbs. But as the saying goes ” dynamite comes in small packages” It also helps that I conceal carry.

        • What state do you live in? Im in WA, home of the brain dead liberal, and have purchased a holster for open carry. I suspect that will be my eventual tactic. Im 6 6 205, so that has worked to my advantage.

          • I’m in a conservative county in Florida that passed a resolution that it’s a second amendment sanctuary county.

          • I grew up in Atlanta, but FL is starting to look pretty attractive. I wouldnt drive through ATL to get there, though. The traffic has not improved since I left in 1983, despite the 24-lane expressways.
