Statewide mask mandate is back for everyone, but there are some exceptions. Here’s where you need to wear a mask in Washington

After about three months of freedom from masks for vaccinated people, Gov. Jay Inslee announced Wednesday vaccinated people must join those unvaccinated in wearing masks when indoors.

The mandate follows a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across the state. Washington reached an all-time high for hospitalizations due to COVID-19 this week.

Civil war? I wish. We’re more like Vichy France right now.

Nothing I like more than being told, by my genetic inferiors, that I have to wear a useless face doily, when the VA said I MUST be jabbed, or forgo all health care.

[jonascord]

I don’t mind the shooting, but I don’t know who to shoot first.

IOW, the vax isn’t working.

But they won’t come right out and say it.

I see barely if any difference from last week in terms of mask wearing indoors (eastern WA state). 25-35% unmasked in stores such as Fred Meyer. No one hassling us.

I went into a staples today. The sign on the door said everybody must wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. I walked right in without a mask, nobody said a thing. I shopped and left.

when the VA said I MUST be jabbed, or forgo all health care.

I just checked various VA websites - that's only for all their medical personnel, not patients.

“Those who are deaf or hard of hearing, or are with someone who is deaf or hard of hearing, do not need to wear a mask, if removing one is essential to communication.”

Washington State see uptick in people who are deaf or hard of hearing!

No mandates in GA except Wal-Mart and HD. Screw them both.

From the article:

Masks do not need to be worn while eating or drinking, showering or sleeping.

Obergruppenführer Inslee is really out of control. Washington and Oregon states are so far gone I believe there is no reining them back in, ever.

[RideForever]

I don’t know who to shoot first.

No need for shooting yet. But it is time to set up a perimeter and stop truckers from delivering food to Seattle and environs. Make it a 'no go' zone for food delivery.

I'm guessing a lot of truck drivers can't afford to live in the city or 'burbs, but come from flyover country.

I’ve been buying and hauling hay from Insleeville (Wash State) to Idaho. I am done with that. Won’t go back into commieland. That also means o Costco stops or any other trip.

I will not comply.

[jonascord]

If I wanted to get "elective" surgery, (My appendix blew up a year ago, and the surgery was delayed because of the Coof, and removing it was "elective."), getting the Jab was "suggested."

That was back before the Party stole the election, fauxi changed his mind every day, and the smell of Thalidomide was in the air......

You do not have to wear a mask if you are at a winery full of democrats. Only the servants do.

[A44MAGNUT]

I'm in the Soviet city of Bellingham, WA. I have refused to wear a mask anyplace. Done with that crap. I've not been hassled except for a door Nazi offering me one which I simply say I don't need it. It will take physical force to remove me and I'm no 90 pound weakling. When I am physically removed, I will sue anyone who touches me with false arrest.
