Mask mandates making a comeback as hysteria over new Covid variant grows
BPR ^ | 8/22/23 | Sierra Marlee

As a new Covid variant emerges, pandemic-era guidelines including social distancing and mask mandates are popping back up in some places

Morris Brown College is a private liberal arts school in Atlanta, Georgia where both students and employees are now being required to wear masks in crowded areas such as hallways and classrooms for at least two weeks. Reports of positive cases among the student body have driven concerns that the new variant is going to cause a renewed boom in Covid cases not just within the college but around the country. This also means that there will be no parties or gatherings for that time, and social distancing will once again be implemented.

But Georgia isn’t the only place where concern over the new strand of infection is brewing. Government doctors in Seattle recently demanded that masks be mandatory in nursing settings again, in an op-ed posted by the American College of Physicians (ACP). Despite much debate about mask efficacy following the official end of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, these public health officials are insisting that the vulnerable population of places of medicine such as hospitals and nursing homes would benefit from any act that may reduce “risk for Covid contracted in the hospital among patients and health care workers.”

I'll try to make this family friendly as possible, but the dems and radical Karen's out there get a "thrill", up their leg about this.

I guess the hysteria over the life-threatening Pacific hurricane ran out of steam.

I am so behind..

Is this the:
“keep Hunter off the front page variant”?
The
“indicting Trump’s not working variant”?
Or the
“We need an excuse to yank Joe and replace him with Newsome Variant”?

Just in time for the election and promote/force people to mail in votes. Polls will be closed due to ‘safety concerns of the new variant’.

Just a hunch, but wouldn’t be surprised if this happened. And some idiots won’t even question it.

If they can’t get people spun up about climate change, they’ll fall back on the Covid scare.

The masks don’t fit well, but I think I can help the maskers by fastening their masks around the edges with a nail gun.
