Anyone else see a trend of mask mandates being implemented with little to no notice?

Posted on 08/28/2021 6:00:20 PM PDT by matt04

In my part of New England, the governors of several states including Connecticut Massachusetts and I believe Rhode Island, have all said they refuse to issue state wide mask mandates and have generally found ways to leave it up to the various municipalities to implement if they want to.

Unlike in April/May 2020 when mandates were Announced it seemed that you had anywhere from 5 to 10 days from announcement to Implementation. So far, several towns in my area have Implemented their own mandates with 12 hours, sometimes even less notice. For example, one town posted the mandate at approximately 3:45in the afternoon to go into affect at 12:01 A.m. the next day. This left business is scrambling to get enough masks for employees, getting signs, etc.

Of course, every health department or government officials who issued these mandates set a goal was to help businesses, keeps them open, etc. If that was the case you would think they would give at least 36 to 48 hours notice so they can all prepare and be ready.

My current theory on this is they want to sell confusion and chaos to justify their power and when customers or businesses are caught off guard wait for the Karen’s to scream and moan on Facebook about how they were in XYZ store and not everyone was wearing masks, etc. When they could’ve come from a town next-door and had no idea something changed just a couple hours ago.

I local town’s mandate listed in the exemptions people working in/at their office while sitting at their desk or something to that effect. So basically the Gov employees don’t have to wear a mask for 99% of the day, but the “heroic” retail workers, restaurant staff, etc. are back to wearing a hot, sweaty mask 8 hours a day. We’re all in this tougher!

Masks “work” in medical setting because of strict hand washing and procedures for masking up. I.e. put on mask by touchg straps only, wash hands, etc. and reverse process when taking it off.

Not only don’t they work but you have people touch the filthy, wet, germ infested part over your moth, shove it in your pocket as you leave the store, touch you phone, face, keys, etc. and repeat it when you walk in the next store. The “experts” tel us to not touch our face, wash hands, etc. then say noting about people doing that.

I had a medical appt last week in Mass. Brought a brand new n95 mask with me. Had to replace it with crappy blue paper one. Mass. really couldn’t be more screwed up and basically demonic.

I’d quit - Sell your CA home, leave to the midwest, buy a nice house on a lake for under $400k and enjoy life. Would not take any of the experimental treatments.

It’s just a mask mandate, it’s just a 75% capacity on the restaurants, it’s just a 9pm Curfew to stop the spread, etc. These things ALWAYS snowball and the left is too dumb to see it coming.

Gonna make a stand in one of the coastal or Northern States are you? LOL. You’re 40-50 years too late.

And I don’t see much of a fight going on. I do prefer for me and mine to be in a less crowded and volatile place for as long as possible.

I just read a article about it. The morbidly obese Gov is all upset that despite the scary CDC color coded map, people weren’t wearing masks so had to throw hos weight around and mandate it.

The he goes on to say the best way to end the pandemic is the jab, and blames the unjabbed, despite the jabbed getting and spread the Coof, therefore EVERYONE must wear a mask (because the jab doesn’t work).

I live in RI, but work in a small island community in RI where I grew up. I work in the public school system there. To date, they have not issued any vax mandates, and only mask indoors and three feet apart. I am thinking there must be someone higher up in the chain who cannot or will not get the vax, and has been researching mask info. Just my 2 cents. This may change and I will update as needed.

I have gone into many businesses today and noticed the majority have signs on the doors that state “We Recommend visitors wear a mask upon entry”. Though upon entering I observed very few people actually wearing them.

Maybe the Public has finally had enough of wearing the diaper crap.

I hope your company doesn’t try to mandate, but glad you are well-positioned to decline if they do. The nation-wide engineering firm I work for hasn’t required it & I pray they don’t... I am not taking the shot.

Yep. However this has enraged the un-elected bureaucrats. They can’t stand people not be scared of their scary color coded maps.

I’ve looked at the data from a few towns that mandated masks in my area. One town had 5 cases and 7 cases a week with 13k people and another under town 28 cases in one week out of 17k ish people. They latter justifed the mask mandate by saying they had 1,700 ish TOTAL tests in a week, not cases just tests. Of those 1,700 tests 1,672 ish were NEGATIVE.

Of theses towns, Not one singe death and as far as I can tell only one person in the hospital. The whole state 500ish people out of 6.7 million people in the hospital an they act like it is the end of the world when we never ran out of beds wiht almost 3k in April 2020.

Interesting:

“The Greek word for “sorcery” is pharmakeia, from which we derive the word “pharmacy.” Most likely, the “sorcery” of end-times Babylon will include drug production and trafficking.”

Only a few places requiring masks in our area. People are done with it.

If you live in a home rule state, you likely have the option to initiate immediate recall votes for city and county elected officials (including the mayor). The recall is done via a signed recall petition. Use it.

I think it refers to hard drugs like pot, narcotics, and hallucinogenics that the Harlot uses to control men’s minds as well as witchcrafts and outright demonic possession. It doesn’t refer to meds and ointments designed for healing; balms of gilead as the Bible describes.

If you were bitten by a known rabid animal would you refuse the vaccinations against rabies on the grounds that such a vax was part of the mother of Harlot’s “pharmakeia”? The rabies vaccines do work 99.99 per cent of the time.
