Mask mandate is set to expire next Monday on public transportation. What do we think the odds are that it actually expires and doesn’t get renewed?

They'll extend it. It's utterly pointless.

I sure hope so, the wife(no pics) and I are flying to Vegas the first week of May and it sure would be nice not to have to wear one for over 4 straight hours

I’ve got an international flight on Wednesday. frick Biden for pointlessly extending the mandate for an extra month. Masks on planes have always been the most pointless of all the mandates. And that’s fricking saying something.

Dude get real. There is a pilot shortage already. If they lift the mandate, 75% of the pilots would immediately contract Covid and die. No more pilots. Is that a world you want to live in? Just put the mask on and listen to the CDC. They only have your best interest at heart. Just trust them. It’s for the greater good.

Covid is done. Never should have been a mask mandate to begin with

Why wouldn't they extend it? They don't have to wear masks while they fly on private jets on the taxpayer's dime, so it costs them nothing to keep the mandates in place indefinitely.

Remember, most of their voter base love mask mandates. They have a vested interest to keep them in place.

I found the thinnest most useless mask and wear that. If I wear a masks that actually works or bothers me.
I also have been flying in the far back of the plane since covid. Near the window and u find I can leave my mask off.

They'll extend it.

Biden voters love it. I still see Subarus with one person aboard wearing mass.

Also it's one of the few semblances of control left that they have. The Biden administration is in complete failure mode, so expect a few of these pointless restrictions to remind you that their flag is still flying.

Even if they lift the mandate, will the individual airlines then still require it??

Airport - Big building with lines of people required to wear a mask

Walmart - Big building with lines of people NOT required to wear a mask

I don’t understand how they can lift Title 42 on the border while keeping mask mandates on planes and trains. Then again, this is democrats we are talking about

White House adviser: Extending TSA mask mandate ‘absolutely’ still on the table

Mon, April 11, 2022, 8:16 AM·1 min read

A top White House COVID-19 adviser on Monday said that extending the federal mask mandate for all transportation networks, which is set to expire next week, is “absolutely” under consideration.

“This is a CDC decision and I think it is absolutely on the table,” White House COVID-19 response coordinator Ashish Jha said on NBC’s “Today.”

Jha said that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky will make the decision on extending the mask mandate for transportation networks based on a scientific framework that the agency is developing. He also said that framework will be available in the “next few days.”

I flew two different airlines recently. As long as you are eating or drinking, you can remove your mask. It's silly to have the mandate when nearly everyone on the plane removes it to eat or drink. Do they think you can't spread Covid if you are eating and drinking, but you can't if you are not?

Mask mandates are coming back by summer.

They spent wayyyy too much time and make wayyy too much money on covid to let it go away

I bet it doesn’t get extended. Even the most serious Covid scared people are over it. They can’t keep this up much longer
