I've come up with a new plan on how to deal with folks who demand you wear a mask...punch them in the throat.

That requires getting too close to them. I like to tell them that they are the bigger threat to public safety by violating proper distancing. Then I tell them that they need stay at least 12 feet away when talking in a normal voice and at least 25 feet when yelling at someone.

... it is not over yet. If you want to take any form of public transportation you still have to wear a mask.

... a lot of people will remain worried that no vaccine is 100% effective and that some people even after being vaccinated can get reinfected. Wearing a mask to protect oneself or others did happen before COVID by a small % of the population.

... in Canada, I expect people will be required to wear masks well into Sept.

That dog don't don't hunt, bro. The witch is dead. The witch is dead. That's bad news for democrats that are drunk on power.

Retail giants lift mask mandates



The governors of Virginia and Maryland both moved Friday to lift their states’ indoor mask mandates alongside retail giants including Costco and Walmart.


Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, lifted his state’s indoor mask mandate for fully vaccinated people effective Saturday at 12 a.m. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, announced he was lifting the mandate for everyone effective Saturday, though masks are still "strongly recommended" for unvaccinated people.


The moves came a day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is safe for fully vaccinated people to go maskless in any type of group gathering, indoors or outdoors. Close to 60 percent of American adults have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine and President Joe Biden has set a goal for 70 percent of American adults to get at least one dose by July 4.


Northam also announced that the state will lift all of its social distancing and capacity limitations May 28, and Hogan had announced earlier in the week that Maryland was lifting capacity restrictions Saturday. Businesses can still require masks, and the states will have exceptions for public transportation, health care facilities and schools.


“Virginians have been doing the right thing, and we're seeing the results,” Northam said in a video on Twitter. “The vaccines are clearly working and they are saving lives.”


“Today is the day that so many of us have been waiting for and working toward,” Hogan said. “We finally do clearly see the light at the end of that tunnel.”


Also in the region, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Thursday that “we are immediately reviewing the CDC guidance and will update DC Health guidance accordingly.”


Costco and Walmart, which both have locations in the area and nationwide, also moved Friday to lift their mask mandates for fully vaccinated people.


In regions with no mask requirements, Costco will now allow customers that have been fully vaccinated to shop without a mask and won't require any proof of vaccination.


"We ask for members’ responsible and respectful cooperation with this revised policy," Costco president and CEO W. Craig Jelinek said in a release.


Masks will still be required in Costco "healthcare settings" like the pharmacy.


As for Walmart, fully vaccinated customers will no longer need to wear masks as of Friday in areas without mask mandates, and fully vaccinated Walmart workers won’t need to wear masks starting Tuesday. Walmart field associates will also get a $75 bonus for getting vaccinated.


Both Walmart and Costco will follow local regulations on masks if there are any, the companies said in releases.


Public health officials have eased up on their concern for vaccinated people after months of urging Americans to avoid crowded places when possible.


After the CDC updated its guidance, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN Friday that he'd be comfortable eating indoors at restaurants just over a month after he said on MSNBC that it wasn't "OK."


CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Fauci, the long-time National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, if he'd go into a crowded restaurant to have a beer and a burger.


"The answer is yes," Fauci said. "If I had the time to do it, I would do it. But I don't have the time to do it."

Is that also your method for copier repair? Do you walk in and say to the customer "Well it's broken so you must want it to stay broken".
If you actually believe anyone wants covid to stay around, there is no hope for you.
