A recent AP fact-check article declared as "false" claims by "conspiracy theorists" that mask mandates and other COVID-era policies are coming back. "With COVID-19 hospitalizations steadily inching up in the U.S. since early July, some on social media are falsely claiming that federal employees were told that…pandemic-era restrictions will start returning this fall," it explained.
While there are few things I disdain more than conspiratorialists, one need not be given to complex theories about the Trilateral Commission and "dark-money" billionaires to recognize this possibility is not far-fetched. I've noticed people wearing masks again in airports. "Already, some U.S. schools and businesses have started bringing back mask mandates," NBC News reported last week.
