A memo sent by Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian alerted employees that 460 people have been added to the no fly list for refusing to comply with mask mandates from the airline.
The no fly list is typically reserved for suspected terrorists.
&#8220;Throughout the pandemic, we have focused our efforts on protecting our people, our customers and our communities,&#8221; Bastian wrote in the memo <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/delta-adds-460-people-fly-list-refusing-wear/story?id=73815553&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn">obtained</a> by ABC News.
Bastian added that it was now &#8220;as important as ever for us to be aware of the multiple layers of defense&#8221; against the China-originated novel coronavirus.
&#8220;Wearing a mask is among the simplest and most effective actions we can take to reduce transmission, which is why Delta has long required them for our customers and our people,&#8221; the CEO wrote. &#8220;As of this week, we’ve added 460 people to our no-fly list for refusing to comply with our mask requirement.&#8221;
Since the mask mandates have been implemented, even for very young travelers, there have been reports of mask-related incidents across major airlines.
For example, in September, a mother said she and her child were kicked off an American Airlines flight after the two-year-old boy would not put on his mask.
&#8220;It gets to the point where I&#8217;m crying so hard, I&#8217;m hysterical, I can&#8217;t even get a deep breath because my mask kept sucking into my mouth,&#8221; the mother recalled, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/23/us/airplane-face-mask-mother-trnd/index.html">according</a> to CNN. &#8220;And then I&#8217;m shaking holding this piece of cloth to my son&#8217;s face so that we can take off and they [flight crew] were standing over me in the aisle saying they had to watch me repeatedly put the mask on him.&#8221;
Early on in the pandemic, public health officials told the general population to not wear masks. Later, however, they changed their tune on face coverings and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) likewise issued guidance recommending masks.
White House Coronavirus Task Force leading voice Dr. Anthony Fauci told “60 Minutes” in March that face masks were not necessary for the general population amid the novel coronavirus outbreak, noting that while masks might make people “feel a little bit better,” they don’t provide the protection folks believe they do and might create “unintended consequences.”
“When it comes to preventing coronavirus, public health officials have been clear: Healthy people do not need to wear a face mask to protect themselves from COVID-19,” <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/preventing-coronavirus-facemask-60-minutes-2020-03-08/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab5j&amp;linkId=84037176&amp;fbclid=IwAR26II4hGyapIWunq9jDEinZsv7vpqxFbxBg6qlDp4AzB5iq4g9U5-Di6J0">CBS News</a> reported March 8, concerning the Fauci interview.
“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,” the infectious disease expert told “60 Minutes.”
“While masks may block some droplets, Fauci said, they do not provide the level of protection people think they do,” CBS News reported at the time. “Wearing a mask may also have unintended consequences: People who wear masks tend to touch their face more often to adjust them, which can spread germs from their hands.”
&#8220;There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask when you’re in the middle of an outbreak,” Fauci doubled-down. “Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often, there are unintended consequences; people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.&#8221;
“When you think mask, you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill,” added the medical expert.
In early April, Fauci embraced new pro-mask CDC guidelines and told &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; viewers &#8220;to &#8216;wear some sort of facial covering&#8217; when you’re in public and can’t socially distance because of new information the &#8216;virus can actually be spread even when people just speak as opposed to coughing and sneezing,'&#8221; Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2020/10/20/is-trump-right-that-fauci-discouraged-wearing-masks/#36ecf0fc4969">reported</a>.
Fauci then acknowledged in July his change on masks, adding that he doesn&#8217;t regret his previous anti-mask statements.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct,&#8221; he told CBS correspondent Norah O&#8217;Donnell, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-doesnt-regret-advising-against-masks-early-in-pandemic-2020-7">according</a> to Business Insider. &#8220;We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs and masks for the health providers who are putting themselves in harm&#8217;s way every day to take care of sick people.&#8221;
&#8220;When it became clear that the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don&#8217;t know they&#8217;re infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks,&#8221; Fauci noted.

Nearly every day, there&#8217;s another report of mayhem breaking out on an airplane after a flyer refused to wear a mask to stem the spread of COVID-19.
But now there&#8217;s a report that doing so will keep you from flying ever again.
More than 400 passengers won&#8217;t be flying Delta Airlines after allegedly refusing to wear face masks during flights, according to an internal memo <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/delta-adds-460-passengers-who-refused-masks-no-fly-list-n1244573">obtained</a> by NBC News.
&#8220;In a letter to Delta employees Thursday, CEO Ed Bastian said that 460 customers who refused to wear face coverings amid the coronavirus pandemic were added to the airline&#8217;s &#8216;no-fly list,'&#8221; NBC reported.
&#8220;Wearing a mask is among the simplest and most effective actions we can take to reduce transmission, which is why Delta has long required them for our customers and our people,&#8221; Bastian wrote as he announced the bans, according to the report.
A spokesperson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/travel/delta-460-people-no-fly-list-refuse-masks">clarified</a> to Fox News that the number represents the cumulative total of passengers on the list.

Like many airlines, Delta began requiring masks for all passengers after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared their effectiveness. U.S. airlines have been crushed by the pandemic as millions of Americans have shunned flying.
&#8220;With the cold-weather months approaching, stopping the spread will be crucial to our recovery from the pandemic and Delta’s return to growth and leadership within our industry,&#8221; Bastian wrote.
Other airlines have also been putting passengers who refuse to wear masks on their &#8220;no-fly&#8221; lists. An American Airlines spokesperson told <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/coronavirus-airlines-face-mask-no-fly-list">Fox Business</a> in August that the company “has added some customers to that list,” in effect since June 16.
“American already enforces this policy at the gate and will deny boarding to customers who don’t comply. American now may also deny future travel for customers who refuse to wear a face covering,” a press release issued around the time of the policy update reads. “American made this change after working in conjunction with Airlines for America on an industrywide response.”
Frontier Airlines has a similar policy.
“We are maintaining a record of passengers who refuse to comply with crew member instructions by not wearing a mask and are placing them on a list that precludes them from flying with us in the future (typically for a specified period of time),” a spokesman at Frontier wrote to Fox Business.
Southwest Airlines told Fox that its approach is to inform customers about their mask rules before travel to prevent people from boarding without personal protective equipment.
“As of June 16, Customers must acknowledge our mandatory face covering requirement via Southwest’s Customer Health Declaration which is presented during the online check-in process on the Southwest app, Southwest.com, and Southwest’s mobile website,” a spokesman at Southwest wrote to Fox. “Southwest also communicates this policy in pre-trip communications and expects compliance to this policy to prevent the need to ban a Customer from future travel.”

CNN host Chris Cuomo was shamed by his building manager and threatened with a fine for disobeying regulations and walking through the building maskless.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson released a letter Cuomo’s building manager sent to the CNN personality on Aug. 6 outlining a number of complaints other residents in Cuomo’s building have made about him. Cuomo has allegedly been spotted numerous times walking around without a mask in violation of health orders from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and building policy.
“Dear Mr. Cuomo, as I’m sure you know, because of the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, on April 15, 2020 Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.17 which requires anyone over the age [of] two to wear a face mask or cloth that covers their mouth and nose while in a public space,” the letter says, according to Carlson.
“You have been observed entering and exiting the building and riding the elevator without the required face coverings. Even though staff members have asked you to comply with this requirement, you have refused to do so,” the letter continued. “This is a violation of the Executive Order, building policy, and places other residents and our staff at risk. There are no exceptions to this rule, and you are required to comply.”
The letter threatens the CNN host with a $500 fine if he continued to violate the executive order and building policy.
Cuomo has repeatedly used his show to shame people for resisting masking regulations and stay-at-home orders, at one point calling lockdown protesters “fools” in a clip Carlson aired on his show. Carlson also aired numerous other clips of Cuomo promoting mask-wearing and shaming those who criticize heavy-handed lockdown regulations.

Cuomo has been accused before of engaging in theatrics in front of the camera that he does not live out in his daily life. In April, the CNN host and his network were mocked for airing a segment of Cuomo purportedly leaving his basement for the first time since he had been diagnosed with COVID-19 weeks earlier.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-proven-lie-cnn-chris-cuomo-blasted-for-suspicious-claim-about-cuomo-in-quarantine">The Daily Wire</a> reported:
<blockquote>CNN opinion host Chris Cuomo and the left-wing network were blasted on Tuesday night over a segment on “Cuomo Prime Time” that claimed that Cuomo had just emerged from quarantine in his basement after testing positive with the coronavirus.
The controversy centers around a police report that was filed over a week ago by a man who claimed that he got into a verbal altercation with Cuomo after he encountered Cuomo allegedly violating quarantine after Cuomo tested positive for the coronavirus a couple of weeks ago.</blockquote>
A bicyclist filed a police report asserting that Cuomo had violated lockdown orders over Easter weekend to visit his property in East Hampton. The bicyclist said he confronted Cuomo and told the CNN host that he was violating health mandates put in place by his brother, Gov. Cuomo.

Roughly a week and a half after getting released from the hospital, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) has published an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-should-have-worn-a-mask-11603315968?mod=opinion_lead_pos6">Op-Ed</a> in The Wall Street Journal saying that he should have chosen to wear a mask during a Rose Garden ceremony for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, and during preparations ahead of the first presidential debate.
Christie, who spent a week in the ICU, said he was “very careful about mask wearing, social distancing, and hand washing” for seven months but allowed himself to become complacent on the assumption he would be safe given his proximity to the president.
“I mistook the bubble of security around the president for a viral safe zone. I was wrong. There is no safe zone from this virus,” he wrote, proceeding to explain that he went from pre-symptomatic to intensive care within 24 hours. (Christie originally claimed he had been hospitalized as a precautionary measure because of his history with asthma).
The former governor said that contracting COVID-19, and hanging on the “thin thread” familiar to “everyone” hospitalized with it, gave him an opportunity for reflection.
<blockquote>When you get this disease, it hits you how easy it is to prevent. We are asked to wear cloth over our mouth and nose, wash our hands and avoid crowds. These minor inconveniences can save your life, your neighbors and the economy. Seldom has so little been asked for so much benefit. Yet the message will be broadly heeded only if it is consistently and honestly delivered by the media, religious leaders, sports figures and public servants. Those in positions of authority have a duty to get the message out.
One of the worst aspects of America’s divided politics is the polarization of something as practical as a mask. It’s not a partisan or cultural symbol, not a sign of weakness or virtue. It’s simply a good method—not a perfect one, but a proven one—to contain a cough or prevent the virus from getting in your mouth or nose. Wear it or you may regret it—as I did.</blockquote>
The former governor noted that he remains a supporter of both “strong public-health measures and rapid reopening” and ultimately believes in the power of the American public to “overwhelmingly make good health choices” when unnamed partisans in the media and public office don’t send them mixed messages.
<blockquote>Even during a contentious election year, we must trust the American people with the truth. I do believe that we can use this public health tragedy to bring our country together. It is never too late to start. It will take leadership that both challenges and trusts the American people.
It is never comfortable to deliver real criticism that includes yourself. But it was a serious failure for me, as a public figure, to go maskless at the White House. I paid for it, and I hope Americans can learn from my experience. I am lucky to be alive. It could easily have been otherwise.</blockquote>

President Donald Trump, who was admitted to the hospital on the same day as Christie, was released after three days, following treatment with several drugs, including an experimental antibody cocktail. Christie said he also received an antibody treatment.

President Donald Trump released a video on Tuesday afternoon of &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; reporter Lesley Stahl — who had a serious case of the coronavirus that <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lesley-stahl-cbs-news-60-minutes-coronavirus-battle/">required</a> hospitalization earlier this year — not wearing a mask inside the White House and not social distancing.

The video comes after there was apparently some sort of incident during the interview that caused Trump to end it early. &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; is a left-wing program and Stahl has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-trump-hilariously-informs-cbs-correspondent-hank-berrien">shown</a> bias against the president in the past.
&#8220;Apparently there was some drama while President Trump was taping his 60 Minutes interview today. He abruptly ended his solo interview after around 45 minutes &amp; did not return for a scheduled walk &amp; talk he was supposed to tape with Pence,&#8221; CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins wrote on Twitter. &#8220;Biden and Harris were also interviewed by 60 Minutes &amp; all are scheduled to appear in the same program. While Biden and Harris taped their interviews separately, Trump and Pence were scheduled to appear on camera together. They ultimately did not and Pence taped his separately.&#8221;

Collins, who has <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=mask%20(no%20OR%20not)%20(from%3Akaitlancollins)&amp;src=typed_query">often</a> noted when members of the administration do not wear masks, was caught on camera earlier this year taking her mask off inside the White House after a press briefing ended.
Following Trump&#8217;s return to the White House after a short stay at Walter Reed Medical Center earlier this month, Collins bemoaned on television: “Yeah and let us remind viewers now that the president is on steroids and a drug that fewer than 10 people outside of clinical trials have gotten inside the United States to deal with coronavirus. He had a level of treatment and a level of care that most Americans would not get. That’s understandable, he is the president of the United States, obviously everyone expects that.”
“But what the president is portraying by taking his mask off when he gets back to the Truman balcony to give this grand return to the White House, is that everything is fine and, as he said, don’t let coronavirus control your life,” Collins continued. “But that is very much still a president who has coronavirus. Despite the lights and the flags and the staged entrance that the president wants to create, he still has coronavirus and he is only a few days into the diagnosis. And Erin today his doctor didn’t reveal a lot of information as he hasn’t for the past two days, but he did still say that he will not breathe a sigh of relief until Monday. That’s a full week from  today.”
The Trump campaign responded to Collins&#8217; rant by tweeting out a video of Collins taking her mask off when she, according to the campaign, thought that the cameras were turned off.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wore two masks when he traveled to North Carolina for a campaign stop, a cloth one overtop a paper medical mask.
Biden&#8217;s double masking was captured by the Daily Mail, which snapped a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8853009/Joe-Biden-wears-two-masks-NC-campaign-trail-Hunters-teen-daughter.html">picture</a> of the candidate as he was stepping off his plane at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
&#8220;Biden, who was photographed wearing a white mask under a Navy blue one, was joined by Hunter&#8217;s teen daughter, Finnegan, just days after her father&#8217;s emails made national headlines,&#8221; The Mail reported. &#8220;Finnegan also appeared to be wearing a white mask under a Navy blue one that read: &#8216;Vote.'&#8221;
Trump has repeatedly bashed Biden, asking supporters at a rally last month if they know &#8220;a man that likes a mask as much&#8221; as Biden.
&#8220;It gives him a feeling of security,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;If I was a psychiatrist, I&#8217;d say this guy has some big issues.&#8221;
In response, Biden called Trump &#8220;an absolute fool.&#8221; &#8220;This macho stuff, for a guy—I shouldn&#8217;t get going, but it just, it costs people&#8217;s lives. It&#8217;s costing people&#8217;s lives,&#8221; Biden said, adding, &#8220;Presidents are supposed to lead, not engage in folly and be falsely masculine.&#8221;
At their first debate on Sept. 29, Trump said he was fine with masks.
&#8220;No, I think masks are OK. You have to understand, if you look—I mean, I have a mask right here. I put a mask on when I think I need it. Tonight, as an example, everybody’s had a test and you’ve had social distancing and all of the things that you have to, but I wear masks,&#8221; he said.
But then he bashed Biden.
&#8220;I don’t wear a mask like him. Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from him and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen. I will say this —&#8221; he said before Biden interrupted.
&#8220;Well, masks make a big difference. His own head of the CDC said if we just wore masks between now—if everybody wore a mask and social distanced between now and January, we’d probably save up to 100,000 lives. It matters. It matters,&#8221; Biden said.
Later, Trump took another shot. &#8220;By the way, did you see one of the last big rallies he had? A reporter came up to him to ask him a question, he said, ‘No, no, no. Stand back, put on your mask, put on a mask. Have you been tested? I’m way far away from those other people.’ That’s what he said, ‘I’m going to be okay.’ He’s not worried about you. He’s not worried about the people out there,&#8221; he said.
Then Biden said: &#8220;He’s been totally irresponsible the way in which he has handled the social distancing and people wearing masks, basically encouraged them not to. He’s a fool on this.&#8221;

Twitter has deleted a tweet from White House public health expert Scott Atlas asserting that general mask-wearing does not slow or stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Atlas tweeted out an article from the <a href="https://www.aier.org/article/the-year-of-disguises/">American Institute for Economic Research</a> on Saturday that argued that face masks should be restricted to narrow circumstances, such as “when visiting an at-risk elderly person or in a controlled health care setting such as a hospital or nursing home.” The article, written by Roger Koops, also questioned if widespread mask use may lead to increased spread of the virus, not less.
“Masks work? NO,” Atlas said in a now-deleted tweet sharing Koops’ article. Twitter confirmed to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/17/politics/scott-atlas-face-masks-coronavirus/index.html">CNN</a> that the platform removed Atlas’ tweet.
Atlas joined President Trump’s coronavirus task force in mid-August to advise the president on the federal government’s response to the pandemic. Atlas is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and served as head neuroradiology professor at Stanford University Medical Center from 1998 until 2012.
Koops has a doctoral degree in chemistry and worked in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry for over 25 years. In an email to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/18/white-house-expert-scott-atlas-censored-by-twitter/">The Federalist</a>, Atlas defended his decision to share Koops’ analysis:
<blockquote>In the deleted tweet, I cited the following evidence against general population masks:
1) Cases exploded even with mandates: Los Angeles County, Miami-Dade County, Hawaii, Alabama, the Philippines, Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Israel.
2) Dr. Carl Heneghan, University of Oxford, director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and editor in chief of British Medical Journal Evidence-Based Medicine: ‘It would appear that despite two decades of pandemic preparedness, there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks.’

3) The WHO: ‘The widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider.’ (<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://bitly.ws/afUm&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1603622022000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3Wi_kUJUJSkScjSwJ8wBm8">http://bitly.ws/afUm</a>)
4) The CDC: ‘Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.’ (<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article).&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1603622022000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0jOYzSp-SghgHQ6mDHbLBL">https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article).</a>
I also cited an article giving detailed explanation of the reasons why masks might not prevent spread:  <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.co/1hRFHsxe59&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1603622022000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1flASLYrET3dotAOVPiShb">https://t.co/1hRFHsxe59</a></blockquote>
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html#:~:text=CDC%20recommends%20that%20you%20wear,of%20COVID%2D19%20to%20others.&amp;text=CDC%20does%20not%20recommend%20the%20use%20of%20gaiters%20or%20face%20shields.">recommends</a> mask-wearing “in public settings around people who don’t live in your household and when you can’t stay 6 feet away from others. Masks help stop the spread of COVID-19 to others.”
Twitter’s censorship of a White House public health expert comes on the heels of its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-great-twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey-responds-to-ny-post-censorship-backlash">decision</a> to censor articles from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-refuses-to-unlock-new-york-post-account-until-outlet-deletes-hunter-biden-coverage-tweets">the New York Post</a> reporting on emails alleged to have come from Hunter Biden’s laptop showing details of his foreign business dealings in Ukraine and China. While questions have arisen over the emails’ veracity, neither former Vice President Joe Biden nor his son have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-campaign-vp-may-have-had-informal-meeting-with-burisma-exec-at-center-of-bombshell-ny-post-report">claimed</a> that the emails are fabricated.
Twitter has since backed off of its complete censorship of the articles, opting instead to flag the articles with warnings that the information contained in them may be false. The platform’s censorship sparked calls from GOP lawmakers, such as Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), for the company to be investigated by the Federal Election Commission for potentially violating campaign finance law.

A Southwest Airlines passenger wearing a “Trump 2020” mask and a “Black Voices for Trump” hat was forced off a flight after removing his mask to eat. The airline says he repeatedly refused to wear his mask before what’s shown in a video that went viral earlier this week.
Footage taken by another passenger shows the man holding a bag of mixed nuts with his face mask pulled below his chin, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/man-in-trump-gear-booted-from-flight-for-removing-mask-to-eat/amp/">reported</a>.
“Tell us the policy that says he cannot eat with his mask off?” a woman <a href="https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/status/1316156386246623239">filming</a> asks. “It’s the hat and the mask — it’s not the eating.”
“It’s not a publicity stunt,” the woman argues with the flight attendant telling the man to wear a mask.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7hnJR9Zu4Sk" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In a <a href="https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/status/1316157525981630465">second video</a> shared by SV News, the man is seen leaving the flight.
The video was shared by Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter, who slammed the airline for removing the passenger.
“WTF??? This is disgusting. I’ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone lowers their masks to eat and drink. I did it on a southwest flight earlier this week,” Trump Jr. wrote.
Southwest Airlines provided a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/viral-video-shows-black-man-in-trump-mask-being-kicked-off-southwest-airlines-flight-after-lowering-mask-to-eat">statement</a> to the Washington Examiner claiming the video did not show the whole story.
&#8220;Our reports indicate that a Customer traveling on Flight 2632, with scheduled service from Tampa to Dallas, was asked repeatedly by more than one Employee at different times to wear a face mask. The Customer did not comply with our Crew’s multiple verbal requests — including while boarding the flight before seated. Therefore, the decision was made to return to the gate and re-accommodate him on a later flight to his final destination after receiving assurances he would comply with our face covering policy. We regret the inconvenience the situation created for all involved, but our Crew must uphold the well-being and comfort of all Passengers,&#8221; the statement said.
Southwest’s website explains that customers must wear facemasks at all times.
&#8220;Customers are required to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth at all times during their Southwest travel experience,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.southwest.com/airline-cleanliness-social-distance/">website states</a>. &#8220;It is highly encouraged to bring your own hand sanitizer and face covering. In accordance with the current CDC guidance, a well-secured cloth or mask that fits snugly against the face, covers an individual’s nose and mouth, and is secured under the chin will be accepted.&#8221;
As the Examiner reported, the same airline was criticized last year after a flight attending posted something disparaging of a passenger wearing Trump campaign gear. The airline also released a statement regarding that incident.
&#8220;We aim to provide outstanding service to all who travel with us,&#8221; a Southwest Airlines spokesperson said in a statement at the time. &#8220;The post in question does not reflect the inclusive environment we strive to provide for our customers and employees.&#8221;

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows walked away from reporters after one objected to him answering questions without a mask on, though he stood “10 feet away.”
CNN Capitol Hill reporter Kristin Wilson caught Meadows outside of the committee room where the Senate Judiciary Committee was holding Supreme Court nominee Amy Comey Barrett’s confirmation hearing on Monday.
Meadows stopped for the CNN camera and prepared to field questions from Wilson. Before beginning, Meadows grabbed the microphone and backed up several paces, trying to maintain enough social distancing so he could remove his mask to speak. As he made to take off his mask, however, Wilson can be heard moaning in objection.
“Let me do this, let me pull this away,” Meadows says, grabbing the microphone and backing up.
“Yep, pull away,” Wilson says.
“And then that way, I can take this off to talk,” Meadows says while removing his mask. Wilson lets out an “Oh” and begins <a href="https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1315683129793884161">shaking</a> her head in dismay.
“Well, I’m more than 10 feet away,” says Meadows, visibly annoyed.
“Well, I’m not going to talk to the press” through a mask, Meadows says, replacing his mask back on his face and walking by the gaggle of reporters.

CNN senior Congressional correspondent Manu Raju explained the incident on Twitter.
“Outside the Barrett hearing, Mark Meadows stopped before the camera and was asked by [Wilson] to put his mask on while answering. He said he was happy to talk, but not while wearing a mask. ‘I’m not going to talk through a mask.’ And then he left,” Raju said.

Capitol Hill began buzzing with the start of Barrett’s confirmation hearings in the Senate on Monday morning. Barrett, 48, would be the youngest member of the Supreme Court if confirmed.
The day before, the American Bar Association (ABA) gave Barrett <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gold-standard-american-bar-association-awards-amy-coney-barrett-highest-rating-ahead-of-confirmation-fight?%3Futm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dwtwitter">its highest rating</a> for a judge. The ABA announced its rating in a letter to senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the federal judiciary has completed its evaluation of the professional qualifications of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who has been nominated by the President to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,” wrote Randall Noel, chairman of the ABA’s standing committee.
“As you know, the Standing Committee confines its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament. A substantial majority of the standing committee determined that Judge Barrett is ‘Well Qualified,’ and a minority is of the opinion that she is ‘Qualified’ to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. The majority rating represents the Standing Committee’s official rating,” Noel said.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has previously <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/03/18/bush-set-to-curb-abas-role-in-court-appointments/93f0417b-a38b-4d27-b3b8-764ff0ef14f0/?utm_term=.df13d862ba92">referred</a> to the ABA’s judicial ratings as “the gold standard by which judicial candidates are judged.”

Singer Lana Del Rey has been taking a beating on social media for wearing a mesh mask to a book signing in Los Angeles instead of a regular cloth or paper one.
According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/lana-del-reys-mesh-mask-criticized-social-media">Fox News</a>, Del Rey was in L.A. on Saturday to greet fans over her new poetry book, “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass.&#8221;
“I can’t wait to see you guys,” Del Rey said in an Instagram video that featured her wearing the sparkly mesh mask.

Del Rey&#8217;s mask may or may not have just been transparent material over mesh threading. Either way, people on social media immediately jumped to the worst of conclusions and scolded her.
&#8220;Girl that&#8217;s not a mask. you make good music but poor decisions,&#8221; said one Instagram follower.
&#8220;Girl not that mesh mask r u kidding me,&#8221; said another follower.
&#8220;Is that a mask? I think that mask does nothing,&#8221; said another.
The comments were overwhelmingly negative with few defenders in Del Rey&#8217;s corner. Neither the singer nor her representatives have publicly responded to the controversy. Del Rey&#8217;s sister, Caroline, later claimed that she tested negative for COVID-19 and practiced social distancing at the book signing.
&#8220;However, a collection of photos <a href="https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1312209620551622656" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted by celebrity news blog Pop Crave</a> shows the singer stood rather close to some attendees,&#8221; reported Fox News. &#8220;Last month, Del Rey was featured on the cover of Interview Magazine with another bedazzled mesh-like face mask.&#8221;
Del Rey took on a wave of feminist and social justice scorn this past May when she dared to call out her critics for hypocritically dismissing her music for not being feminist enough while promoting the likes of Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé.
“Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f***ing, cheating, etc — can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money — or whatever I want — without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?” Del Rey asked.
“I am fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when in reality I’m just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent emotionally abusive relationships all over the world,” she continued.
Despite her passionate plea for fairness, critics on social media dinged Del Rey for criticizing Cardi B and Beyoncé — women of color.
“I don’t know who was giving Lana Del Rey a hard time but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Black women. Girl, sing your little cocaine carols and leave us alone,” <a href="https://twitter.com/JamilahLemieux/status/1263449168833425408" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> cultural critic and writer Jamilah Lemieux.
“I think Lana’s post would have been fine if she hadn’t compared herself to a group of mostly black women with the clear tone that she thinks she’s been treated worse by the media when that’s observably untrue,” <a href="https://twitter.com/shonfaye/status/1263393209801203712" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> writer and activist Shon Faye.

Singer Lana Del Rey Roasted For Wearing A Mesh Mask To Book Signing

Lana Del Rey

Singer Lana Del Rey has been taking a beating on social media for wearing a mesh mask to a book signing in Los Angeles.

The National Football League (NFL) is threatening to suspend coaches and other sideline personnel if they do not properly wear face coverings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NFL also said teams that violate the rules could forfeit draft picks.
Troy Vincent, who oversees NFL football operations, told the 32 teams on Wednesday that “accountability” is required on the sidelines, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-nfl-football-archive-1e7d7ebf1c9ab843cc33dd387bcc5440">according</a> to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
“We will continue to address lack of compliance with accountability measures that may also include suspensions of persons involved, and/or the forfeiture of a draft choice(s),” Vincent wrote.
“As you know, the game-day protocols agreed to with the NFLPA require that coaches and other non-player personnel wear appropriate face coverings at all times on the field and in the coaches’ booths,&#8221; Vincent wrote. &#8220;While we saw significant progress in Week 3 with compliance from club personnel, wearing of protective equipment is still not universal, and this lack of compliance creates unnecessary risk to game-day participants.”
&#8220;Both our own and independent medical advisors have emphasized the need to remain vigilant and disciplined in following the processes and protocols put in place by agreement with the NFLPA as well as by state and local governments,” Vincent wrote. “We are only through Week 3 of the season. If we are to play a full and uninterrupted season, we all must remain committed to our efforts to mitigate the risk of transmission of the virus.”
“Inconsistent adherence to health and safety protocols, such as wearing face coverings and observing physical distancing requirements, will put the 2020 season at risk. A failure to adhere to the negotiated protocols or to government directives can have an adverse impact on both other players or staff members of your club, and of other clubs as well. Selective or inconsistent compliance threatens to undermine fan confidence in our health and safety protocols and the competitive fairness and integrity of the NFL season,” Vincent continued.
Three teams in the National Football League have already been fined more than $1 million because their coaches didn&#8217;t wear masks during games.
The three teams, each fined $250,000, are the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos, and the San Francisco 49ers. Their coaches, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Broncos’ Vic Fangio, and the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan, were also each fined $100,000.
&#8220;The $1,050,000 in punishments comes a week after the league sent a memo to teams reinforcing its requirement that coaches wear coverings over their mouths and noses at all times on the sidelines during games, threatening discipline for those who don&#8217;t comply,&#8221; ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29941333/sources-nfl-fines-broncos-vic-fangio-seahawks-pete-carroll-49ers-kyle-shanahan-100k-mask-noncompliance">reported</a>.
&#8220;We must remain vigilant and disciplined in following the processes and protocols put in place by not only the league, union and clubs, but also by state and local governments,&#8221; Vincent said in the memo. &#8220;Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in accountability measures being imposed against offending individuals and/or clubs &#8230; Becoming careless or ignoring face covering and physical distancing requirements will put the 2020 season at risk &#8230;”

NFL Threatens To Suspend Coaches Who Violate League’s Mask Policy

Five people were cited and three of them arrested after not wearing masks during an outdoor worship gathering in Idaho on Wednesday.
Approximately 300 people assembled outdoors to sing psalms in front of city hall in Moscow, Idaho, a town of around 25,000 about 80 miles south of Spokane, Washington. The gathering, which was called a &#8220;flash psalm sing,&#8221; according to the <a href="https://dnews.com/three-people-including-candidate-rench-arrested-at-church-event-in-moscow/article_9b11069e-fe00-11ea-b457-e7fe1a57e07c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Moscow-Pullman Daily News</a>, was organized by Christ Church, a prominent evangelical congregation in the area. The event, which was advertised on the church&#8217;s Facebook page, began at 4:45 p.m., and most had left within 30 minutes.
According to the Moscow city police&#8217;s <a href="https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1479" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">daily activity log</a>, those arrested were allegedly violating a &#8220;public health emergency order.&#8221; Among those handcuffed and driven away in a police car was Gabriel Rench, a Republican who is running for county commission. Rench was later released and spoke about the incident on his radio show, according to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2020/09/24/idaho-police-arrest-3-at-outdoor-church-worship-event-in-defiance-of-mask-mandate/?fbclid=IwAR11mQzg3S6CT25w8Wr1R-DNL2uYa-xFV3Y6PvUq1r3DtVfutFM69jBf7uA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Breitbart</a>.
Moscow Police Chief James Fry told the Moscow-Pullman Daily News that the department had been &#8220;very lenient&#8221; with enforcing the order, &#8220;but at some point in time you have to enforce.&#8221; Fry did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment.

Christ Church senior pastor Douglas Wilson <a href="https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/our-incident-at-city-hall.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">explained the incident on his personal blog</a>, writing in part, &#8220;The first thing to note is that we had every legal and constitutional right to be there, and to do what we did. This was not an assembly of scofflaws. It really was a peaceful protest, a petition to our city government for a redress of grievances, and a religious assembly, all in one. Everything about it was proper. We sang three songs and the doxology, and then went home.&#8221;
Wilson went on to explain how the Moscow City Council <a href="https://www.facebook.com/moscowreport/posts/926414541200179" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recently extended its mask mandate into January</a>, despite zero coronavirus deaths or hospitalizations. Altogether, Moscow&#8217;s Latah County has had only 346 COVID-19 cases total, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/idaho-coronavirus-cases.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The New York Times</a>.
Wilson also mentioned that during a recent wedding where Moscow&#8217;s Mayor Bill Lambert officiated, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/moscowreport/posts/927111064463860" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">masks were nowhere to be found</a>. &#8220;At least one of our council members was in attendance, as was law enforcement. Masks, however, were not in attendance. If there was no virus hazard at that wedding (and there was not), then there was no virus hazard at our psalm sing yesterday (as there was not).&#8221;
&#8220;So we have every right to protest the high hypocrisy involved in all of this,&#8221; Wilson continued. &#8220;Not only so, but I believe we have a responsibility to do so. Having said that, I do want to mention that our protest was not conducted Portland style. The federal building is just a block away from city hall, and I can say that I was very proud of our people — not one of them tried to burn it down. Rather, we addressed this hypocritical and nonsensical law in a peaceful, orderly, law-abiding, and responsible way.&#8221;
Wilson also said the police officers who arrested the worshippers &#8220;should be heartily ashamed of themselves,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I know that our cops hate the position the city has put them in, and they have my sympathy as far as that goes. But they still need to review this question for themselves — how bad do the orders have to get before you do your duty by refusing to enforce them?&#8221;
Ben Zornes, a pastor at Christ Church, told The Daily Wire that it wasn&#8217;t just members of his church who were at the psalm sing, but also other members of the community.
Zornes said &#8220;the main point is that city council received numerous requests to not extend our mask mandate until January. They did not hear those complaints or answer pointed questions about what threshold is being used to determine when the masks will no longer be necessary.&#8221;
Despite the low cases of COVID-19 in the city, Zornes noted, &#8220;[t]he mayor and city council refused to clarify what metric would be used to repeal the mask mandate. The long and short is, we gathered to exercise our First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble and petition our city council to reconsider their emergency ordinance and mask mandate. They&#8217;ve now responded by arresting upstanding citizens for not standing on their little dots and not conforming to their dress code.&#8221;

An Ohio woman was tased and handcuffed on Wednesday for not wearing a mask at an outdoor eighth-grade football game, according to reports.
The woman, identified as Alecia Kitts, was reportedly refusing to wear a mask when approached by a school security officer on Wednesday, WTAP-TV <a href="https://www.wtap.com/2020/09/24/woman-refuses-to-wear-mask-is-tased-at-football-game-in-logan-ohio/">reported</a>. The officer &#8220;appears to use a taser on the parent, before placing her in handcuffs,&#8221; the station said.
In a video shot by another attendee of the game, Kitts yells &#8220;Don&#8217;t touch me!&#8221; as cheerleaders can be heard in the background. &#8220;Get off of me! I will not put my hands behind my back!&#8221;
The woman taking the video says, &#8220;This is over a mask. I don&#8217;t think he can arrest her for not wearing a mask. This is not a warning,&#8221; she says with a laugh.
In the video, Kitts can be seen sitting far away from other people in the bleachers. As a large male officer and another woman wrestled with her, she yelled, &#8220;This is bulls***!&#8221;
Kitts then screams as the officer tases her. &#8220;They tased someone over a mask,&#8221; the woman taking the video says.
&#8220;C&#8217;mon! It&#8217;s just a mask!&#8221; another person yells.

Kitts is reportedly the parent of a child in the Marietta City Schools (MCS) and had traveled to an away game in Logan.
“I’m grateful that it didn’t happen in Marietta, but it saddens me that it was Marietta that caused it in Logan,” MCS Athletic Director Cody Venderlic <a href="https://www.mariettatimes.com/news/2020/09/woman-tased-arrested-after-refusing-to-wear-mask-at-game/">told</a> The Marietta Times. “As athletic directors, we’ve talked about this too and the biggest challenge about dealing with visiting fans is people behave much better at home than when they’re on the road.&#8221;
Monte Bainter, superintendent for the Logan-Hocking Local School District, confirmed the incident happened and released this statement, <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/video-of-mask-incident-at-logan-football-game-spreading-online/530-106c136b-8644-49e9-9e88-aa61d2f0ae9c">according</a> to WBNS-TV:
<blockquote>During a middle school football game held at Logan-Hocking Local School District on the evening of Sept. 23, 2020, an attendee was asked to comply with the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s and the athletic facility’s policies. The attendee refused to do so and consequently was asked to leave by the attending law enforcement officer. After resisting the request to exit the premises, the individual was apprehended at the discretion of the attending law enforcement officer. The school district is not able to comment further on details of the incident due to the ongoing investigation.</blockquote>
&#8220;The superintendent also confirms the law enforcement officer seen in the video is the school resource officer who was on duty at the time,&#8221; the station reported.
Said Vederlic: The governor and the [Ohio] health department have made it very clear that masks are required indoor and outdoor at sports facilities. They’re just part of the expectation.&#8221;
The incident follows another in Arlington, Virginia, where a father says his 9-year-old son was sent home from his elementary school because he sneezed.
The fourth grade student at Bishop Elementary School was told he can&#8217;t return until he gets a negative COVID-19 test.
“I sneezed two times then the teacher told me to go to the nurse,” said Lancinet Keita, <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/09/22/arlington-student-sent-home-from-school-after-sneezing/">according</a> to CBS.

American Airlines booted a mother and her child from a flight last week because the 2-year-old would not wear a face mask.
Rachel Davis, the child&#8217;s mother, shared an Instagram post on Thursday detailing her ordeal on an American Airlines plane earlier that day when the flight crew forced everyone to deplane so Davis and her “screaming and crying” child could be removed for the flight. The post has earned roughly 191,000 likes in four days.
“The eyes of a mama-bear who just bawled her eyes out as she was forced off an airplane because her 2 year old wouldn’t keep his mask on,” Davis began, sharing a photo of her with red-rimmed eyes holding her sleeping child.
“Before I even sat in my seat, flight attendant Terry on American Airlines flight 5595 from Charlotte, NC to Manchester, NH on September 17th, approached me and asked how old my son is, and demanded according to their policy he wear a mask,” Davis continued. “I told her this is our fourth American Airlines flight this week, and he has never been asked to wear a mask. She informed me he (my overtired two year old son) would need to comply with their company policy or we would be asked to leave the aircraft.”
All major airlines, including American, require all people age 2 and older to wear face masks throughout a flight with exceptions for drinking and eating. Davis said the flight crew made the entire flight deplane in order to escort her off.
“They moved us to a flight tonight, on the same airline who’s (sic) company policy kicked us off the last flight, because my two year old son wouldn’t keep a mask securely over his nose and mouth at all times,” she wrote. “This is the world we live in? This is not a mask debate. This is a ‘be a god damned human’ debate. I will NEVER fly AA again.”

Other passengers on the flight reacted with outrage that Davis was booted from her flight because her 2-year-old would not wear a mask.
“It was very cold and cruel,” Taylor Cournoyer, a passenger on the flight, told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/ABCNews/mother-year-kicked-off-american-flight-toddler-refuses/story?id=73144268&amp;fbclid=IwAR0czoUrtjlFC13oFr-BGPSpYH6uqMToQInzyJUUm1mEkMTM9ayR43r6K_I&amp;fbclid=IwAR0TJIVrwr0KGNoRjq6YC1_bVvcs2xoKGZyQD1F3MSnUcI1aZCdHp4qGUhE">ABC News</a>. “This wasn&#8217;t an issue of a grown adult not complying out of spite because they don&#8217;t agree with masks — this was a child. And it was not a bad, irresponsible mom either — she was crying and trying to keep the mask on and asking the flight attendants for help and advice on what to do.”
Since blowback began building against American Airlines, the airline has reached out to Davis to “address her concerns.”
“To ensure the safety of our customers and team, American Airlines requires all persons 2 years and older to wear an appropriate face covering throughout the entirety of their travel journey,” American Airlines said in a statement. “Policies are enforced and approved face coverings are made available at key points throughout the customer journey. We’ve reached out to the family to learn more about their recent travel experience and to address their concerns.”

American Airlines Kicks Mother Off Flight After Her 2-Year-Old Wouldn’t Wear A Mask

American Airlines booted a mother and her child from a flight last week because the 2-year-old would not wear a face mask. Rachel Davis, the child&#039;s

Three teams in the National Football League have been fined more than $1 million because their coaches didn&#8217;t wear masks during games.
The three teams, each fined $250,000, are the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos, and the San Francisco 49ers. Their coaches, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Broncos’ Vic Fangio and the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan, were also each fined $100,000.
&#8220;The $1,050,000 in punishments comes a week after the league sent a memo to teams reinforcing its requirement that coaches wear coverings over their mouths and noses at all times on the sidelines during games, threatening discipline for those who don&#8217;t comply,&#8221; ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29941333/sources-nfl-fines-broncos-vic-fangio-seahawks-pete-carroll-49ers-kyle-shanahan-100k-mask-noncompliance">reported</a>.
&#8220;We must remain vigilant and disciplined in following the processes and protocols put in place by not only the league, union and clubs, but also by state and local governments,&#8221; Vincent said in the memo. &#8220;Failure to adhere to this requirement will result in accountability measures being imposed against offending individuals and/or clubs &#8230; Becoming careless or ignoring face covering and physical distancing requirements will put the 2020 season at risk,&#8221; Vincent said.
More fines could be on the way. In Monday night&#8217;s game, coaches Jon Gruden of the Las Vegas Raiders and Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints had masks on, but Gruden wore his like a chin strap and Payton wore his gaiter like a turtleneck.
Gruden, who has already had COVID-19, said: &#8220;I&#8217;m doing my best. I&#8217;m very sensitive about it &#8230; I&#8217;m calling plays. I just wann&#8217;a communicate in these situations, and if I get fined, I&#8217;ll have to pay the fine, but I&#8217;m very sensitive about that and I apologize.&#8221;
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the fines were “consistent” with the league’s guidance.
“You can’t let up,” Goodell told USA Today late Monday. “We’ve got to consistently do the things that have gotten us to this place and not think, ‘Okay, things have gone so well, so it’s okay now.’ It’s not. You’ve got to stay on your toes and we’ve got to continue to be disciplined.”
Ratings have been plunging for the NFL this year. On opening day, some players knelt and raised fists in protest over racial injustice while others stayed off the field for the “Star-Spangled Banner.&#8221;
In the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons, players dropped to one knee just after the opening kickoff. Minnesota Vikings players locked arms a half-hour before their game against the Green Bay Packers as “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is being called the black anthem, was played. In Washington, D.C., members of the Philadelphia Eagles stayed in the locker room during the national anthem.
At the season opener between the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Houston Texans — one of the few contests to include fans in the stadium — the crowd’s boos rained down on players as they linked arms on the field.
“After the Houston Texans remained in the locker room during the national anthem, fans booed them when they emerged from the tunnel at its conclusion. The booing continued as the two teams walked to midfield and shook hands, their interlocked arms stretched from one end zone to the other during what was supposed to be a moment of silence,” the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/561c74297aef243e58ac573afe4d8e26" rel="nofollow">reported</a>.
The ratings were not good, with Nielsen Media Research announcing the prime-time game between the Texans and the Chiefs dropped 11% in the key 18-49 demographic, even with digital views up, <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/09/nfl-ratings-down-season-kickoff-kansas-city-chiefs-coronavirus-houston-texans-nbc-1234575251/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according</a> to Deadline.

Three NFL Teams, Coaches Fined More Than $1 Million For Not Wearing Face Masks

Critics slammed Robert Redfield, who heads the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after he testified that face masks may be more effective than a COVID-19 vaccine.
Redfield made the controversial statements while testifying in front of the Senate on Wednesday on the coronavirus pandemic.
“I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine, because the immunogenicity may be 70%. And if I don&#8217;t get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me. This face mask will,” Redfield said.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield makes it as clear as he can: &quot;This face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/Ul0Ppj5qqv">pic.twitter.com/Ul0Ppj5qqv</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume jumped on Redfield for saying that masks can protect the wearer from the virus. Previously, mask-wearing has been touted as a courtesy or a duty to protect others in case the wearer is infected with the coronavirus.
“For months we’ve been told we should wear masks not so much to protect ourselves as to protect others. Now the head of the CDC is claiming that a mask will protect the wearer better than a vaccine. Does he expect people to believe that?” Hume said.

President Trump contradicted Redfield at a press conference later in the day, saying, “As far as the masks are concerned, I hope that the vaccine is going to be a lot more beneficial than the masks.”
Redfield tried to clarify his testimony by releasing a statement over Twitter.
“I 100% believe in the importance of vaccines and the importance in particular of a #COVID19 vaccine. A COVID-19 vaccine is the thing that will get Americans back to normal everyday life,” Redfield said. “The best defense we currently have against this virus are the important mitigation efforts of wearing a mask, washing your hands, social distancing and being careful about crowds. #COVID19”

Redfield’s comments on masks are another twist in health officials evolving recommendations. At the beginning of March when the pandemic was picking up, U.S. health officials played down the effectiveness of masks in order to keep people from buying them.
U.S. Surgeon General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-surgeon-general-seriously-people-stop-buying-masks">Jerome Adams</a> wrote a message on Twitter saying, “Seriously people — STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dr-fauci-admits-that-public-health-experts-initially-downplayed-face-masks-over-concerns-about-supply">Anthony Fauci</a>, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted in June that health officials were not upfront with the America people over the effectiveness of masks. Fauci said health officials downplayed masks to prevent a run on the limited supply.
“We wanted to make sure that the people, namely the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected,” Fauci said.

CDC Director Ripped Over Claim On Mask Effectiveness: ‘Does He Expect People To Believe That?’

Critics slammed Robert Redfield, who heads the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after he testified that face masks may be more effective

Joe Biden wants every American to wear a mask — and if he wins the White House, he has vowed to mandate mandatory masks for all.
&#8220;Every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months at a minimum — every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing. The estimates by the experts are that it will save over 40,000 lives in the next three months. Forty thousand lives, if people act responsibly,&#8221; Biden said last month. &#8220;Let&#8217;s institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately, and we will save lives.&#8221;
Then he lectured Americans, saying, “It’s not about your rights. It’s about your responsibilities as an American. Wearing the mask is less about you contracting the virus. It’s about preventing other people from getting sick. [&#8230;] This is America. Be a patriot. Protect your fellow citizens. Step up, do the right thing.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), endorsed the national mask mandate. &#8220;That&#8217;s what real leadership looks like,&#8221; Harris said after Biden&#8217;s declaration. &#8220;We just witnessed real leadership. Which is Joe Biden said that as a nation, we should all be wearing a mask for the next three months, because it will save lives.&#8221;
But that was then. Now, Biden&#8217;s backtracking. Seems there&#8217;s this pesky thing called the Constitution.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s the deal, the federal government&#8230; there&#8217;s a constitutional issue whether the federal government could issue such a mandate, I don&#8217;t think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn&#8217;t issue a mandate,&#8221; Biden on Sunday told Dennis Welch, political editor of the Arizona&#8217;s Family publication and host of &#8220;Politics Unplugged.&#8221;
&#8220;But I&#8217;d plead with&#8230;I carry my mask with me wherever I go,&#8221; the former vice president said. &#8220;I&#8217;d set an example. It&#8217;s about making sure the public is safe and secure, and that is a local decision, but there should be national standards laid out as to how it should be gone about. You can&#8217;t mandate that. But to set the example on what need to be done.&#8221;
It wasn&#8217;t the first time Biden walked back his mandate. Last Wednesday, he even denied he ever called for a mandate, declaring he is a “constitutionalist.”
“I’m a constitutionalist,” Biden said. “You can’t do things the Constitution does not allow you the power to do.”
But Biden had repeatedly called for a nationwide mask mandate. In June, he told CBS Pittsburgh affiliate KDKA that he would sign an executive order requiring Americans to wear face coverings.
“The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody in public be wearing that mask. [For] anyone to reopen, it would have to make sure that they walked into a business that had masks,” he said.
Harris, for her part, has played both sides. She said last month that a nationwide mask requirement would be one of the Biden-Harris administration’s first orders of business if they win the White House, but then immediately said they wouldn&#8217;t bother to enforce it.
“It’s a standard. I mean, nobody’s going to be punished,” she <a href="https://www.today.com/news/kamala-harris-today-show-vp-nominee-talks-masks-jacob-blake-t190374">said</a> on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Today&#8221; show. “Nobody likes to wear a mask, this is a universal feeling, right? So, that’s not the point,” she said.

An inventive YouTuber has created a specialized weapon to target &#8220;maskholes.&#8221;
“An American problem demands American solutions!” says Allen Pun, who runs the channel “Sufficiently Advanced.”
In a short video, Pun shows his million-plus subscribers his new invention.
“I made a mask launcher and brought it to Huntington Beach, which is one of the most anti-mask cities in southern California. What could possibly go wrong?” he wrote on his site.
Allen wanted to encourage people to wear masks, and literally took aim at those who refuse to wear them, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/man-creates-mask-shooting-gun-stop-uncovered-their-tracks-1525609">Newsweek</a> reported.
&#8220;Pan designed the gun, similar to a net gun that he said looked &#8216;alien sci-fi alt-history steampunk.&#8217; A surgical mask sits on the gun with double-sided foam tape around the inside to make sure the covering sticks to the face. In order to properly aim at people not wearing masks a laser is used, and tube nuts are implemented as weights to wrap straps of a mask around someone&#8217;s face,&#8221; the mag said.
The &#8220;gun&#8221; uses CO2 capsules to power the projectile, firing the masks out at with 800 psi.
It&#8217;s crude but effective.
In the video, Pun shows exactly how he made the device, at times trying to figure out ways around problems. His test worked on a dummy on the first try. &#8220;Did you see that?!&#8221; he exclaims. Then he tested it on himself &#8212; and it worked. &#8220;It put a mask on my face! I can&#8217;t breathe on you now,&#8221; Pan says.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s go shoot some people!&#8221;
He then took the device to the beach, where he met up with maskless people. He said Americans who own guns would understand his invention. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to put together the Second Amendment with health care. That&#8217;s right, guns with public safety. Boom! Best of both worlds.&#8221;
“We’re going to go hunting for any Karen willing to get shot in the face for public health,” Pan said.
He got a woman to fire the mask at him &#8212; it didn&#8217;t work, and one of the projectiles ended up breaking.
But at least the people were friendly.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing: I came here fully expecting that people are going to get angry at me &#8212; I even brought my running shoes just in case, you know, things got racist. I don&#8217;t know if it was just the time of day or the percent of locals versus tourists, or maybe people are actually coming around to the idea to wearing masks, but there are a ton of people wearing masks,&#8221; he said.
“The concept is dope, don’t give up,” four women playing volleyball told him after his gun broke.
Pan later gave up on &#8220;hunting&#8221; and instead just held a &#8220;focus group,&#8221; getting people to fire the device at a dummy&#8217;s head.
&#8220;What do you think of this invention?&#8221; Pan asked one guy.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s priceless,&#8221; he said.

The French government plans to send riot police into the Marseille region to help enforce mask regulations in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19.
Government spokesman Gabriel Attal announced on Monday that 130 police officers will be sent into the region, west of Nice on the Balearic Sea. The region has recently expanded mask rules to include all farmers’ markets and outdoor areas.
&#8220;France has seen scattered incidents of violence by people refusing to wear masks. Paris expanded its mask requirements Saturday, and other towns around France started requiring masks outdoors on Monday,&#8221; The Associated Press <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-latest-france-deploying-riot-police-to-enforce-masks/ar-BB182HOX?li=BBnb7Kz">reported</a> on Monday.
Infections have been spiking in France, with 3,015 new cases Sunday. There have been 255,908 confirmed cases in the country, <a href="https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6">according</a> to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering, and more than 30,000 people have died with the virus in France, one of the highest death tolls in the world, the AP said.
Other countries are also having difficulty enforcing mask laws and lockdowns. Police in Melbourne, Australia, reportedly fired at a man who was breaching strict curfew restrictions over the weekend.
&#8220;Officers asked him to stop so they could question why he was out after curfew,&#8221; Lana Murphy, a reporter with 9News, wrote on Twitter.

Police have been forced to shoot through a 64YO driver’s window after he drove at them at an Altona Meadows servo.

&#8220;The Public Order Response Team approached the 64-year-old driver after he pulled into a service station at the Point Cook Road exit of the Princess Highway, Altona Meadows, just after 1.20 a.m. The driver allegedly ignored police directions to turn off his vehicle, and instead drove at officers,&#8221; 9News.com <a href="https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-melbourne-police-shoot-through-car-window-after-driver-breaches-curfew/6a2ff35b-9c96-4fd7-9cea-1c761dabf4ae">reported</a> in a piece, headlined &#8220;Police fire gunshots after man caught &#8216;breaching curfew.'&#8221;
&#8220;An approaching police officer discharged his firearm while taking evasive action,&#8221; Victoria police said in a statement.
Clashes between residents and police have been increasing since officials enacted a strict lockdown on citizens. &#8220;Melbourne police &#8216;assaulted and baited&#8217; over lockdown rules,&#8221; the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-53645759">wrote</a> earlier this month.
<blockquote>Police said this trend included so-called &#8220;sovereign citizens&#8221; &#8211; who espouse an anti-government ideology &#8211; confronting officers. In one case a woman repeatedly smashed a policewoman&#8217;s head into the ground. Authorities have increased fines for repeated rule breaches as Melbourne endures a deadly virus second wave.</blockquote>
Under the new lockdown rules that run until Sept. 13, residents must stay within a 3-mile radius of home; only one person from a household is allowed to shop per day; no more than one hour of exercise per day and groups are limited to two; recreational activity is banned; a nightly curfew runs from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m.
Restaurants and cafes will be closed throughout the lockdown, but liquor stores remain open for pick ups. Plus, no resident can leave the city, and no outsiders can enter Melbourne “unless it’s for work or study, medical care and caregiving, shopping for food or supplies,” according to The Guardian.
Meanwhile, New Zealand&#8217;s biggest city went into full lockdown last week after four people tested positive for COVID-19. The island country had gone 102 days with no new cases, but Auckland announced that a family of four had contracted the virus.
