Most people are done with the Chinese coronavirus, except for a smattering of people who still wear masks. Many of them wear them wrong. Many of them intentionally get in other people’s space, and even hug, when avoiding personal contact is one of the main things you should do. They’re welcome to mask if they want. The CDC won’t give up, even though most news outlets barely cover COVID anymore, and most coverage is way down the webpage
The Centers for Disease Control and prevention announced a new recommendation that masks be worn by all persons 2 and older “in indoor areas of public transportation (such as airplanes, trains, etc.) and transportation hubs (such as airports, stations, etc.).” The CDC also encouraged people to wear “in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as airport jetways.”
The announcement comes a little over two weeks after a U.S. District judge in Florida ruled the CDC’s mask mandate exceeded its authority. The Justice Department has said it plans to appeal the ruling, if the CDC indicates it’s needed.
Cases and hospitalizations have begun to rise across the United States as new, more transmissible variants spread in waves. BA.2 began driving cases last month, quickly becoming dominant nationwide. Even more transmissible Omicron BA.2.12.1, first identified in the U.S. in February, is well on its way to pushing BA.2 out. Data released today show that BA.2.12.1 now makes up 36.5% of all newly-sequenced positive Covid tests having made a jump of close to 100% in the past two weeks.
The CDC’s authority may be tested again as cities such as New York have moved into what federal health officials have dubbed the medium, or yellow, risk category for virus transmission. (The current categories are much more lenient than those in place last year.)
See, they want you to wear it in these place, but, bigwig functions like the Met Gala and “Nerd Prom” are not covered. In fact, a few people came down with Wuhan Flu from the White House Correspondents dinner, including a reporter who sat next to Kim Kardashian. Of course, The Help was forced to mask up, not the Elites. Not quite sure why the CDC is focused on public transportation, versus other areas of close contact, but, this is what cultists do, focus in.
(WRAL) If passed by a GoRaleigh city bus, you’ll still see “mask required” signs on it, yet their website says face coverings are “recommended”. Guidance that happens to be in line with a new recommendation coming from the CDC today.
Passengers told WRAL News the guidance is confusing and at this point, they’re doing what makes them feel comfortable.
Paul parker said it takes some getting used to the latest guidance from the CDC on public transportation and mask-wearing.
“I think we were happy to do it for a while,” said Parker. “If we’re asked to go back and do it again that might be trickier.”
Most will ignore this, and, it’ll be really difficult and cause problems if government tries to force people to wear masks, which do not work. Despite all the forced masking Delta and Omicron crashed across the U.S.
Parker just arrived from the UK and saw firsthand how tricky it can be.
“On the plane: no masks whatsoever,” said Parker “Then we get into JFK and suddenly you have to wear a mask.”
Most of Europe did away with the mask quite some time ago. Here in the U.S. power hungry politicians used them for control.
Yes, COVID is rising again, mostly Omicron’s BA.2 subvariant called BA.2.12.1
That’s from the NY Times. If you scroll down to the same area of the front page you see
Weirdly, a lot of those places that are hot spots have high vaccination rates, and, being good leftists, they’ll wear masks voluntarily more than other areas. Many of these sub-variants are evading vaccination, and some are re-infecting those who’ve had Wuhan Flu.
