Oregonians will again have to wear masks in outdoor public settings starting on Friday, Governor Kate Brown said.
Starting Friday, August 27, masks will be required in most public outdoor settings, including at large outdoor events where physical distancing is not possible - regardless of vaccination status.
The Delta variant is spreading fast and wide, throwing our state into a level of crisis we have not yet seen in the pandemic. Cases and hospitalizations are at a record high,” said Governor Brown. “Masks are a quick and simple tool we can immediately deploy to protect ourselves and our families, and quickly help stop further spread of COVID-19.
The new outdoor requirement comes just over a week after the governor reinstated Oregon's indoor masks requirement.
According to the governor's office, the rule does not apply to quick encounters, such as two individuals walking by one another on a trail or in a park.
While the rule does not apply to outdoor gatherings at private residences, masks are strongly recommended in those settings when individuals from different households do not consistently maintain physical distance, officials said.
According to the governor's office, there are some exceptions, which include:
Mask requirements K-12 schools will fall under their previously announced mandate.
The masks box even admits it does not protect you from Covid.
If the masks work, then how come we are going back vs. taking a "vaccine"?
We are governed by retards.
Mandates are not laws. So it is meaningless.
The same Governor who signed bill to do away with math, science and history high school graduation requirements because they discriminate against POC. I guess this proves she doesn’t believe in science because requiring masks outdoors does not help and may actually contribute to other health problems.
Further proof that Kate Brown is a dumbass.
Oh, forgot, the D pretty much nails that much down.
It must take a lot of work to be that demonstrably stupid.
As for Oregon voters, you can redeem yourselves by pulling a BLM on that wench’s house. After all, she has allowed them to do it to you, why not return the favor?
EOs issued by Eeyores.
So how do you find ouþ if that light cold you had, or what you thought might be an allergy was covid or not?
Mandate shmandate go stick it where the sun don’t shine you do not have this power period
“..We are governed by retards....”
Haven’t seen one of these woke, commie, lib RATs yet that wasn’t one.
It will continue until everyone just finally says, “NO!!!”
From: Retain Mike Sent: Friday, August 13, 2021 11:37 AM Subject: Mask Mandate
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) came out with its latest policy about masks and our governor has mandated wearing them. But does it make any sense?
The best science the CDC can point to is a group of uncontrolled studies highlighting first such groups as 139 hairdresser clients, 382 sailors on the U.S.S. Roosevelt, 124 Beijing households, and 839 Thailand residents subject to contact tracing. All results come from observation followed by personal judgement, and none result from the mathematical disciplines used to evaluate complex environments. In the same article the CDC disparages the 2020 randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Denmark involving 4,862 participants, which found no benefit to wearing a mask to prevent infection.
The disciplines of a RCT divides participants into different groups on a randomized basis. Random assignment means that factors not specifically controlled can cancel each other out by appearing equally in both groups. One group receives the treatment (which in this case was the mask) and the other group does not.
Researchers can isolate the one variable and are not able to introduce biases to produce a preferred outcome. RCT’s are considered the highest standard for this type of research. Therefore, the most reasonable approach the CDC could take would be to use this study as one to which others would be evaluated. An especially valid approach, since the first four combined from their May scientific brief have less than half the participants of the Danish study.

Does anyone have any information on whether there is a class action lawsuit against the vaccine mandates in Oregon?
Are there any class action lawsuits in Oregon regarding any vax mandates?
