There are, I think, many on the left who really don’t want to see covid hysteria end. Ever, or at least until it can be replaced by something else.
Thus, deep-blue Oregon is contemplating a permanent mask-wearing requirement.
A top health official is considering indefinitely extending rules requiring masks and social distancing in all businesses in the state.
The proposal would keep the rules in place until they are “no longer necessary to address the effects of the pandemic in the workplace.”
Michael Wood, administrator of the state’s department of Occupational Safety and Health, said the move is necessary to address a technicality in state law that requires a “permanent” rule to keep current restrictions from expiring.
Oregon Democrats assure residents that even though the rule is permanent, it will be repealed someday. But when? Like Dr. Fauci, Oregon’s officials can’t tell us when that day will ever come:
Officials said they have every intent to repeal the rule, and that decision will be made based on a complex mix of factors, including case counts, vaccination rates, case severity and advice from the Oregon Health Authority.
“It will be a complicated assessment when we do it, and I would say it is impossibly complicated to do in advance,” Wood said.
I will hazard a prediction: if it is implemented, the permanent rule will be repealed only when Oregonians engage in mass civil disobedience, refusing to obey it. But it might not come to that. Record numbers of public comments have flowed in, opposing the proposed rule, and 60,000 have signed a petition against it.
The point goes broadly for all of America. Liberals love covid restrictions and the arbitrary power they give to governments. They won’t stop bullying the rest of us until we make them stop.

It’s grotesque how many of these drones cheerfully mask up, and even seek out “designer” masks, or decorate them themselves.
May 1 Mask Free Day
They are beefing...BEGGING for a civil war.
It’s revolting. I used to just shrug and think what fools they were, but honestly, now I feel like ripping that mask off their faces. Especially now that they want to impose it on all of us.
When will the American people, as a whole, finally realize that this "Doctor" is a fraud/Fallacy?
Fallacy, “Keep wearing your damn masks and never remove them!”
The masks didn’t work. The vaccine didn’t work. The obvious solution for the left is to intensify the propaganda for the masks and the vaccine, and to concoct a scheme to force the vaccine on us (”passport”).
There is no pandemic. There is only fear porn, and a particularly bad flu season. We are going about our lives. We are just fine. Enough with the masks. You all look like frightened sheep out there.
never trust a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across its country during a so called global pandemic...
No masks, no vaccines, no ‘passports’, no Karens. A pox on all.
George Soros and his cartel are dying for a civil war.
The political class is expediting his dream.
Covid serves as a virus as well as an IQ test.
You actually see the folks who fail with their stupid masks and their vaccine worship.
Their are several in this forum.
All I can do is just shake my head and laugh.
*There are* several in this forum.
Lilac festival moves from free outdoor to paid indoor live music amidst COVID-19
Be sure to check out the price tag while keeping in mind that Rochester's economy, like most of NYS, is in the toilet.
A new religion has reared its head. I’ve heard it described as COVIDian.
Must be religion because it is mainly accepted on faith without solid data.
With respect to cloth facemask, a RCT using four weeks follow up compared the effect of cloth facemask to medical masks and to no masks on the incidence of clinical respiratory illness, influenza-like illness and laboratory-confirmed respiratory virus infections among 1607 participants from 14 hospitals [19].
However, a large harmful effect with more than 13 times higher risk [Relative Risk = 13.25 95% CI (1.74 to 100.97) was observed for influenza-like illness among those who were wearing cloth masks [19]. The study concluded that cloth masks have significant health and safety issues including moisture retention, reuse, poor filtration and increased risk for infection, providing recommendation against the use of cloth masks [19]."

Dr. Fauci is exercising social control over America.So is so called President Joe Biden. These Alinskyite fascists are not following science, they are extending the pandemic, which is why the use of J&J vaccine , the most effective against Covid -19 variants, has been stopped.
The masks are resulting in an increase in people coming down with respertory infections and having difficulty breathing. I personally know two elderly people who came down with pneumonia after habitually wearing masks nearly 24 hours a day. One of them died and the other has perment lung damage. Neither ever tested positive for Covid although you can bet that the one who died was counted as a Covid death. The one who is still alive is no longer allowed to wear a mask by her doctor’s own orders.
Good analogy, with the mask wearing as constituting an “IQ test”. After a few weeks, when most of us realists were still able to operate on the promise of “good faith”, and once the proverbial goal-posts started moving, I likened wearing one to wearing a dunce-cap, where everywhere we went was a “dunce corner” of, the room itself being the entire country,no matter where we went.
Charging money for entertainment is a good idea.
