Bringing back indoor mask mandates.

My state's capitol city is recommending indoor mask mandates again. What will happen is it will trickle through municipalities and become required, slowly but surely, everywhere again. It's just a CDC recommendation and not a governor's no mask no service mandate that would effect the entire state, but we will go back to masking little kids, in the hot weather no less, and creating tension between masked people and unmasked just when we seemed to be emerging from all that. šŸ˜­ No wonder so many people from my state, that I know, are moving or have moved to Florida.

there is a lot of increase in fear mongering articles as well...
some people Simply do not want things to go back to any sort of Normal .... i think many bring up items to see if stores/ businesses will just voluntary put up masks required signs believing it is coming even if not

Stores in my state cannot put up mask required signs unless the governor orders it. We have had the recommendations but people can do as they choose as long as they can handle dirty looks from others.

I agree with you. There are too many people who do not want this to end. But it is an unusual time of year to be doing this.

control zealots pay no mind to season / or weather i guess.... I do know many many who choose to continue wearing masks HATE that they are outnumbered because they were so SURE everyone thinks exactly like they do.
The anger is not about masks but about them having their beliefs questioned.

Yes, that's a possibility. They feel more comfortable with people who conform.

I don't read about Covid anymore. It's boring! Sheep will be sheep and they will always follow the shepherd, even if he is leading them to the slaughter House. I'm more interested in "moving forward" and not walking around in chains and slavery.

I agree John. I didn't read about this. It came on when I was checking the local weather so I can't unhear what I've heard. I can't conform anyway so it won't impact me much.

the ones i know are very open about it.... they assumed most would stay masked were alarmed it was not just a fringe few etc
many i spoke with are now asking questions they should have from the start

The scary thing is, even at this point, there are still many who sincerely believe we should lock down harder and impose even more restrictions on everyone. They still believe you can control an aerosol transmitted virus.

wearing masks in stores and transport, also
some staff members in supermarkets, who are
young, are also wearing them.

most store Staff may still be imposed by employer i know stores are here...
I have zero problem with anyone who wants to wear them .... most people like me say do your own thing .......
the point is many are simply not content with that unless they force others to wear them also.

If you don't read about Covid any more, what are you doing in this thread? Did you expect another topic to pop up? šŸ˜
 
These mask mandates seem to be changing almost weekly...in some locations, daily. This is leading to a lot of confusion, and even outright conflict for a lot of people. In many cases, it seems that Covid policies are becoming more of a "political' thing, rather than general public safety.

It always was political IMO, from the very start, and it continues to be so.
 
I think there may be different reasons why people wear a mask so I figure 'to each his own'. Freedom to choose for one's own situation is my current attitude. Donning the mask could be for protecting others from getting TB because they currently have it (we still have TB in mainland Europe). Or maybe they have tested positive recently with covid and are protecting others from catching covid from their breath, sneezing and coughs. Or it could be because they are considered vulnerable for death or critical conditions if they got Covid. Of course not everyone is vulnerable to dying from Covid, especially not the young age groups, healthy people with good immune systems or those heavily vaccinated and boosted people, but even this group do still catch covid and can pass it on to others because the recent new varients are even more transmissable than measles ( which is the most highly transmissable virus known ).

Covid19 is not only political it has certainly become a cash cow for a lot of companies. The rich stay rich while the poor, well, they can continue walking around in fear wearing their masks. Sorry that photo should read "Booster Time Again." LOL

To Mask or Not to Mask?

American Thinker By Anthony J. Ciani, July 13, 2020

ā€œAs expected, SARS-CoV-2 was experimentally found to penetrate surgical masks via normal breathing and even when rigged as powered air filters between hamster cages (a joke of Chinese slapdash science). Mask-wearing Asian countries have no less influenza that non-wearing Western countries. Studies on arms-length spread within the general population are few, but they generally show masks as ineffective. Even the best N95 respirators are unlikely to show much effect; the virus is a third of the particle size they filter.

Ironically, anti-smoking laws may have helped viruses spread. Restaurants, hotels, and bars once used strong upward ventilation and electronic air cleaners or HEPA filters to remove smoke. HEPA sets N100 (99.97%) at 0.3 microns and may have some efficacy at removing viruses. Modern eateries and clubs have no need for filtering indoor smoke, so they have efficient HVAC systems that circulate the air around and use filters suitable only for dust bunnies.ā€

How could they mind? They have been told over and over that it's "all for their own good" and "we're all in this together." Ha, ha!

We're in the same storm but some are in yachts and the rest of us are clinging by our fingernails onto rafts. Big diff there. :oops:
