Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday urged every New Yorker to again wear masks in all indoor public places as city health officials prepared for the imminent arrival of the Omicron variant.

“It’s time to remind people and double down and say, ‘Even if you started to move away from masks before, we’re telling you to get those masks back on now,’ ” de Blasio said at a remote press briefing from City Hall. City Health Commissioner David Chokshi said the advisory covers even fully vaccinated people and those who have had the virus.

“Today I’m issuing a commissioner’s advisory strongly recommending that all New Yorkers wear a mask at all times when indoors and in a public setting like at your grocery or in building lobbies, offices, and retail stores,” said Health Commissioner David Chokshi.

“This includes those that are vaccinated and those who’ve had COVID-19.”

So they’re bracing for a milder version of COVID? Okay.

Why does any sane, rational human being still live in New York ?

Probably not a great time to drive medical professionals out of work.

In a related note….anyone not seeing this Omicron coming down the pike had their heads stuck so far up their rectum they couldn’t see their hands.

I am not suggesting this mutation is a big deal…but the weak minded are going to freak out about it. They should have prepared for this.

A milder version that transmits antibodies.

If we were smart we'd be embracing it but it's clear that current Covid policies have nothing to do with health.

You cannot spell Omicron without moronic.

I can't claim credit for this, it was fairly stolen from another Freeper.
