I don't need preface it with my opinion when they made the Jan 18th date on August 13th in the first place. You really think any politician is going to say extended it now, hardly 2 weeks later? Biden very may well, but there is no upside right away, he is already hinting at it though. You were asking for opinion and didn't even realize it, but my opinion is based on facts on the ground and people in the know public comments,.
What is not an opinion is that 1500 people are day are dying. Biden is even making a plan to make the standards tougher not more lax,it is allover the news. If I have to post something as simple as this we are in DEEP trouble in this country. It is common sense if 1500 people a day are dying and the hospitals in states like KY have dead bodies in the parking lot under tents and they are going to rationing care at the hospitals in several states. No, we are nowhere close to getting rid of mask on planes, trains and buses on Jan 18th 2022!
Average1500 a day dying:
Rationing:
Hospital decision-makers and doctors will be placed in the uncomfortable role of being the ones rationing care, effectively granting death sentences to some. Not every Covid-19 patient can be helped, and this will also include non-Covid-19 patients as lack of ICU space applies to them, too.

How much you want to bet the Jan 18th date that masks on planes is supposed to be done is extended a min of 6 more months. How could it not be when Covid is as bad it as it been since the start ,actually worse because younger people are dying due to Delta. Ican link to that too, the information is all over the place.
It worse now than when this was when this was written 4 weeks ago:
Covid seems to be targeting younger Americans aged 50
The Delta variant is burning through areas in the country where many people are unvaccinated and seems to be targeting younger Americans aged 50 and under and, says one ER physician, they’re “more intensive to care for.”

Best case scenario is this is under control Spring 2022, which mean that Jan 22 mask mandate will be extended, the president and Fauci already know this.
President Joe Biden just got some deeply unwelcome news: The pandemic that he was elected to end could drag on deep into a midterm election year, with all the political and economic destruction that could bring.

If after all this a person is not convinced that we need continue he public mask mandate far longer than Jan 2022 than nothing will. They will wait to the last minute to extend it again, I wish they wouldn't and hopefully Biden's plan just extends it now. I am not guessing, I am using the information out there. It is far more than opinion. If they did lift the mandate on Jan 18th date we would just prove we are one stupid country.
Last, I use this statement that is far more than a hint. Leonard Marcus says we need the mask mandates until the pandemic is under control and if this guy says it we almost certainly are getting another extension. I personally don't see it under control by Jan 22. Here is hoping. He said we need mask mandtes and within 5 days the date was extended in a big part because of his statements and eveything he says leans toward the date being extended. We would need a miracle for the Jan 22 date to hold true, again here is to hoping. My bet is we are wearing mask though 2022, we sure should be to make sure it dont come back.
Leonard Marcus, founding co-director of the
National Preparedness Leadership Initiative (NPLI) and co-director of NPLI’s
Aviation Public Health Initiative, said he applauds the Federal Aviation Administration’s fines of unruly airline passengers who refuse to wear masks. “
Unfortunately, I think we’re going to have to continue the [federal transit] mask mandate until we’re able to significantly increase the number of people that are vaccinated and get a hold on the pandemic,” he said.
I hope you are right, I hope the cases are low enough, but it won't be by Jan 22. Look at where we are at right now, it's not likely at all. Are people all of a sudden going to mask up, get vaccinated , because that is what it's going to take. Heck, we may have Delta2 come out. Thank god the Mu variant isn't as bad as Delta, it very well could have been. So we can hope, but even if cases went to 200 deaths a day tomorrow how can we stop wearing masks on Public transportation , especially at airports on Jan 22?
It's a real shame that people are out there protesting against masks others want mask mandates ended and many will not get vaccinated when we have had 600 HUNDRED THOUSAND Deaths. That is more death than number of Americans killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam combined. Just think about that. I hate wearing mask, but who the heck takes the time to actively fight against it or get on an aircraft adn fight about it when this many people have died? What will it take, walking over dead bodies?
The entire situation is crazy to me. Hoping isn't going to do it, we need actively fight it with vaccines,masks and most of all keeping informed.
