Chicago Announces Indoor Mask Mandate For All, Regardless of Vaccination Status
nbcchicago ^ | 08/17/2021 | NBC 5 Chicago

The city of Chicago announced Tuesday an indoor mask mandate for all individuals 2 years and older, regardless of vaccination status, beginning Friday, Aug. 20.

"With the highly transmissible Delta variant causing case rates to increase, now is the time to re-institute this measure to prevent further spread and save lives," said CDPH Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady in a statement. "We continue to track the data closely and are hopeful this will only be temporary and we can bend the COVID curve, as we’ve done in the past."

According to Arwady, masks are required in all indoor public settings, "including bars and restaurants, gyms, common areas of condos and multi-residential buildings, and private clubs."

"Similar to previous mask mandates, masks can be removed at restaurants, bars and other eating/drinking establishments by patrons when they are actively eating and drinking," Arwady said in a statement. "Masks can also be removed for certain activities that require their removal, such as beard shaves or facials. Additionally, masks can be removed by employees in settings that are not open to the public, if employees are static and maintaining at least six feet from all other individuals (office cubicles, for example)."

If the vaccine works so good why have mandates like this?

Sadly, when I went to my local Walmart earlier in the week, ALL Employees were masked up, again. They’re not demanding it of customers - I think they know we’ve had MORE than enough of this BS.

The obviously worse Biden gets, the more the COVID cabal ups THE FEAR to provide a distraction.

So they’re acknowledging that the Wuhan is like Santa Claus, it knows when you are eating, it knows when you are drinking, it knows when you’re doing neither, so mask up for goodness sake.

I go to a local Walmart as part of my job. Employees, and Vendors/Merchandisers are required to wear them. Customers don’t have to.

The number of cases is not reliable. There are about 90% false positives which they call “non-symptomatic.” The presence of a few strands of virus in the nasal mucus is NOT a sickness. The nasal mucus traps and removes foreign particles.

Making policy based on that is stupid.

The bar is being moved every day. The threshold for panic is lowered, and restrictions become more and more onerous every day.

I don’t get it—if you take off your mask you are a mortal danger to everyone—except when you are eating and drinking, then you can’t spread the virus...

This is bizarro land!
