11. This is stupid because so far, the mandate has only been extended for about a month until April 18

Earlier this month, the Biden administration announced it would extend the federal public transportation mask mandate through April 18. The extension comes while many mask mandates have been rescinded in states and schools across the nation as coronavirus cases have plummeted since the Omicron surge earlier this year. The move also comes as Republicans have kept pressure on the White House and congressional Democrats to ease various federal requirements designed to combat Covid-19.

It will probably be DOA in the House.

I think the point of the extension was that Easter Sunday is April 17 and the idea is to see where we are post-Mardi Gras (currently about 2 weeks since and so far no big spikes detected yet in NOL), and then post-spring break, and if there were any surges, extend it past Easter (which usually corresponds closely with Passover and this year starts a couple days before Easter Sunday on April 15) given that is also a time with you have many get-togethers for those holidays.
