Some colleges and universities in New York City have reinstituted mask mandates amid a rise in COVID-19 cases.
Columbia University, the affiliated Barnard College and Pace University have all started requiring masks again in at least some indoor settings.
Columbia reinstated mask rules on Monday “based on the current situation and in an abundance of caution,” according to school communications obtained by The Post.
The policy, which requires students to wear non-cloth masks, is expected to remain in place through the final weeks of the spring semester.

Columbia has almost a half a million followers and this tweet has 25 likes. Don’t tell me masking is popular.— John Smith (@SciFiGuy2015) April 11, 2022
I see #Masks is trending.
It's very simple. If you want to wear a completely useless bit of cloth or plastic on your face, no one is stopping you.
But the days of playing guinea-pig in some crap compliance experiment are over for the vast majority.

Ridiculous.
NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.
Our stats are crap.
