During a Wednesday appearance on CNN, Biden administration medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci declared that Americans “really should” wear face masks again in “congregate” and “indoor” settings due to a rise in COVID-19 cases.
As an image of COVID-19 cases at the “community level” in the United States showed on the screen, Fauci stated that “now we’re seeing a fair amount of orange,” meaning that coronavirus cases throughout the country are at a “medium” level.
“You really should, in an indoor setting, a congregate setting, be wearing masks,” Fauci said. “It’s just the appropriate thing to do.”

The remarks come after Fauci bemoaned Americans who wish to move on from the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating that the virus is here to stay, Valiant News reported.
“Everybody wants to put this pandemic behind us, and feel and hope that it doesn’t exist. It does,” he told MSNBC during a segment in which he discussed the new BA.5 COVID-19 Omicon subvariant.
“We don’t want to disrupt your life, we don’t want to force you to do anything, but do some common sense things that have been proven to be effective,” he added during a subsequent interview on Fox News.
Experts are now warning the public that the BA.5 subvariant is the most dominant strain in America today and could launch a “new wave” of infections despite hundreds of millions of people having been injected with multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday claimed that many once “fully vaccinated” Americans are now considered to be “undervaccinated” because they have not received enough COVID-19 “booster” injections.

“Many Americans are undervaccinated,” Walensky said. “Meaning, they are not up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines.” Walensky claimed that it was now “essential” for anyone who was “undervaccinated” to “get their second booster shot right away.”
The Biden administration plans to renew it’s COVID-19 emergency powers in two days.
