On Sunday, April 10th, Dr. Anthony Fauci put out the warning that masking maybe reinstated if cases of the new purported variant “Omicron XE” continue to rise.
If you look at the CDC calculation with their new metrics, it’s clear that most of the country, even though we’re seeing an uptick, is still in that green zone, which means that masking is not recommended in the sense of not required in indoor settings.
The new [CDC] metrics looking at the guidance of masking … [say] that if we do start seeing an uptick, particularly of hospitalizations, we may need to revert back to being more careful and having more utilizations of masks indoors. But right now we’re watching it very, very carefully.
Fauci told ABC’s “This Week.”
And then, like clockwork it seems, the next day the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, became the first major city to reinstate masking for indoor settings.
Even though the CDC still does not currently recommend masking for indoor settings, the city’s the Department of Public Health declares that indoor mask-wearing will be mandated next week.
Last week, Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole and other city officials, stated a week ago that city was still in their “level one” of risk, but if cases continued to rise, then it would elevate to the next level where masking is required.
Today, we’re reporting that we’re averaging 142 new cases every day, Today’s case count is more than 50% higher than what we saw 10 days ago. So we know that cases are rising fairly quickly.
So today, I’m announcing that we have reached the threshold for moving out of the ‘All Clear’ COVID response level and into the ‘mask precautions’ level.
The CDC has been clear in messaging now and previously that local conditions do matter. I think we’ve all seen here in Philadelphia how much our history of redlining, history of disparities, has impacted, particularly, our Black and brown communities here in the city. So it does make sense to be more careful in Philadelphia than perhaps in an affluent suburb.
I suspect that this wave will be smaller than the one we saw in January, but if we wait to find out to put our masks back on, we would have lost our chance to stop the wave. If we mask up now and find out that hospitalizations don’t increase in the U.S. in response to this variant the way they had in U.K., then great — we can take off the masks with a sense of relief.
Bettigole explained
She also said that they will be giving residents a one-week “education period,” to allow the word to spread.
However, businesses that voluntarily require some form of proof of vaccination will exempt from masking.
Many Philadelphians were completely caught off guard with this, with a coalition of many small business owners speaking out, warning what this will do to their businesses, that have already been battered and beaten after two years of pandemonium.
We are extremely disappointed to hear the city’s plans to mandate masks.
The Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association said in an official statement
It’s kind of a roller coaster, up and down.
If cases are rising, and it’s necessary, going to have to wear them at school again, too, but we’ve been used to them, so I don’t think it will be that big of a deal.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. [11] By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.Proverbs 11:10-11
“But we’ve been used to them, so I don’t think it will be that big of a deal.” -And there it is: the people have been beaten down into submission, and now have been conditioned to voluntarily accept this “new normal.” The programming, mind control, and oppression have worked. Stockholm Syndrome is permanently here to stay, and will only increase.
As I have explained before, this is how they do it: the handlers take massive steps forward, wait for some resistance, and then artificially backtrack to establish a “new floor” of normalcy; let that fester, and then reinitiate new standards once more, as the people are now conditioned for it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Again, as I have warned, the Covid war would NOT go away by the Springtime like many other commentators thought would happen: I had predicted the opposite since January, and said this is the time it WOULD comeback; and it is. Whenever Fauci opens his yapper, and floats out these “possibilities,” he pretty is much telegraphing what will happen.
Speaking of Fauci, some of you last time asked that I edit a new photo of Fauci. Here you go, feel free to download and share:
With Redfield waring that the “great pandemic” of bird flu is coming, all the slaves of society have been programmed and practiced up for the real one, to follow in total lockstep.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

That’s a neat sinister picture of Fauci, looks like the terminator devil possessed.
I sent ya a news report of a father who killed his wife, three children, and dog in a Disney home because he thought the apocalypse was coming.
Great picture of Fauci. Might be useful to scare vermin away from crops. Or mice in a house.
Stockholm syndrome was exactly what I had said to the person I was having a discussion with about masks a few days ago.
@Neil Can the Lord use you more if you fast?
He could. I believe God uses saved people who aren’t easily distracted by worldy things, brethren that put more effort and time praying, studying the King James bible, giving the most of their energy to resist temptation daily and doing work for God, those who have more control over their flesh.
Fasting I believe is a way to put our body (flesh) under control (aside from exercise). It’s like avoiding spoiling a child rotten by not giving him everything he wants all the time.
The temptation to sin constantly nags at the flesh, it’s always there, even if you’re saved, it doesn’t go away. It doesn’t help that we have pervasive technology now where we are bombarded with so many ads that appeal to the flesh, easier access online to pornography, secular music, movies, among other things that makes the flesh feel good.
Paul was saying in the bible that he was struggling with sin, and he was a great Christian man, faithful to God even to his death.
Romans 7:18-20
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Fasting coupled with a lot of hard, sincere praying and reading the word, to fight and escape temptation. The Holy Spirit will help, but it depends on how sincerely we want it.
It’s like lifting weights for the will, eventually the “muscles” will get stronger, and can help to better resist temptations to the physical body. But we can never be perfectly without sin. Brother Bryan said in one of his sermons, just try to sin as less as we can, and I agree.
(I’m telling this to myself, too. I’ve been stumbling many times with sin even after I got saved. And sometimes I don’t give my all to the Lord, and I fail him. Thank God, I’m past the sins I used to do in my partying days when I was still lost.)
Omicron (moronic) XE well x is 24th letter & E is fifth letter 24/5 or 24th May, just thinking out loud.
