Temporary Requirement to Use Face Coverings

yet simultaneously we're letting people dine in at restaurants!!! lemme take my mask off between bites!

For those face mask deniers, please study the results of Hong Kong. This densely packed city has recorded only 4 COVID 19 deaths! Why so few? The people of Hong Kong were wise enough to mitigate the spread by wearing masks very early during the pandemic.

It could be argued that the real sheeple are those who follow the president and Fox News!

Take a look at the rt.live website.
These are up-to-date values for Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It’s the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading.

So, Masks with one-way exhaust valves are not allowed, but a bandana is? Or the hairnet a guy in the store was wearing as a mask yersterday? I absolutely hate wearing one, but I do for everyone elses comfort level, like a lot of people, do I think.

If you like masks, make a reservation to visit the SBBotanic Garden where masks are required all the time, even if you're alone, and where cars can't be parked next to each other, apparently, cars are contagious, and where many of the attractive, non-paved trails and benches are roped or taped off, as are all access spots to the creek which used to be a pleasant respite from urbanity. You have to be a member of the garden to experience this extreme mask wearing -- we're not likely to renew our membership next month when it expires.

I can hear it now from the Left; "If any children die, Angsorm is going to have blood on his hands!"

Interesting that the CDC is being asked to investigate why Los Angeles, with it's forced use of masks, social distancing, and continued lockdowns and restrictions, remains one of the nation's three "hotspots" with continued infection and death rates. Ditch the masks, get fresh air and exercise, socialize, quit living like a hermit in fear of what horrible dangers might be out there trying to get you....and then you might actually become a normal human being again. Maybe the people coming up here from Los Angeles want to get away from that rat trap of confinement that's doing no good for them.

So, if kids arnt required(because we all know any kid isn't going to stand for wearing a mask, let alone the health effects from them) why should we apply this "order" to those over that age? Does that even make sense? Does any of this make sense? NO! Here we go agenda 21...don't believe me, go get the agenda 21 book published by the UN...

I am not in the habit of sneezing, coughing, and spitting at people or in their faces. Regardless of what you think about containment of "droplets" or slowing down the spread of any virus or microbe, communicable diseases are not going away, and it has been proven that not only will masks, bandanas, and scarfs slow herd immunity, they may pose more serious risks to an individual that what they hope to accomplish. And perhaps Ansorg can explain "unless an exception applies" what those exceptions might be? Personally, I don't want to re-breath my lung exhalation which is already laden with bacteria. From the National Health Library, "Mucus prevents attachment of bacteria to the epithelium, and those bacteria that cannot cross the mucus are cleared by exhalation or by the mucus-ciliary escalator. Bacterial pathogens colonize respiratory tissue and, as a consequence, compromise lung function." And from another medical report in Medical Health Reports, "that most of the bacteria in the lungs of healthy people got there by way of microaspiration. In other words, they ride in on tiny droplets of saliva that made it from the microbe-filled mouth to the lungs. That means they avoided the movable tissue barrier, called the epiglottis, which keeps most saliva from getting into the lower respiratory tract."

Yeah, forcing people to wear masks have really helped out N.Y, Trenton, and L.A., haven't they?

The people complaining about masks and lockdowns are their own worst enemy, and ours. Masks are not a guarantee however, they are a mitigation factor to help reduce spread person to person which is the main transmission route for this virus. The sooner we can significantly knock it down by stopping that spread, the sooner we can return to a more normal existence. So please comply. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And there is no cure for this strange virus that affects everyone differently.

This weekend SB will receive thousands of visitors from highly infected Los Angeles and nearby counties. I'll stay away.

One of the side benefits of wearing a mask is that stupid "liberate whatever" remarks are muffled.

Ginger1 and Ternst - exactly. The next three days are fine. We've scheduled virus acceleration for next week. And Ternst - it's 'herd' immunity, but you probably already knew that.

Such BS...the mask does nothing. Heard immunity is the only way.

From 5pm Friday May 22 until 4:59pm Tuesday May 26 it was determined that the virus will not be waiting in line to enter businesses and will not be inside businesses except as noted. A spokesperson for the virus stated that they will wait until after the holiday weekend to begin the next wave and continue until 5pm June 30 but that may be extended, rescinded, superseded, or amended as it sees fit.
