Yet again, the goal posts change and the great state of California is using cases as the metric. I thought vaccinations work and we broke the association between cases and serious illness…
As the results of the poll show: people want lockdowns and mandates so politics are simply following.
What’s the big problem with mask mandates ? It’s just an inconvenience at best . But I do hope they don’t do any lockdowns anymore. Those who have vaccines don’t have much to fear. Those who haven’t taken vaccine don’t fear it anyway, they are prepared to live with that consequences . Indoor mask mandates are fine, no need to put your panties in a bunch.
The problem is that people don't listen, and then it's up to the business to enforce it, which can be difficult as people tend to get hostile towards the front line minimum wage workers who aren't paid enough for that crap. Overall, it should be left up to the business to decide and the business shouldn't be punished for not enforcing the mandate
Ok. Even though everyone know this is essential to the country, people don’t listen, now business have to enforce it. That’s ridiculous, right? The government must take the responsibility and enforce it. In order to do it, we need to give more power to the government so that they can punish those who don’t follow the rules. We need rules and order!
Yet another reason NY is better
NYC is forcing vaccination
Mask mandates should be kept forever, even after COVID pandemic, to minimize flu/cold spread, which is also costing a lot of lives and lost productivity. Maybe make those flu mask mandates seasonal.
Lockdowns during flu season would help too.
No.
Hey, at least it's only fair that everyone who could be contagious has to wear masks! Waiting for the next set of leaks of Newsom at the French Laundry violating his own orders!
The next president of the US. Fuhrer Newsom. Rules for mere peasants do not apply to the leaders of the country.
Did they even lift the indoor mask mandate? At least in the Bay Area, I’ve always been wearing a mask indoors.
I can’t wait for the Midterm Variant. People who want to be vaxxed are vaxxed and there’s zero evidence to support the efficacy of masking. The government should subsidize food delivery for the at risk and everyone else returns to normal.
Was it ever over? I'm in cali and haven't stopped wearing a mask since March 2020....
And drinks soymilk lol
