Put your masks back on, Minneapolis says
AlphaNews ^ | 4/29/22 | Anthony Gockowski

City health officials are “strongly” encouraging Minneapolis residents to put their face masks back on, regardless of vaccination status.

The Minneapolis Health Department said in a Thursday news release that residents should “wear masks in indoor public settings and businesses,” citing an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

The city said its seven-day new case rate has increased from 51 infections per 100,000 people in mid-March to 227 per 100,000. Hospitalizations have increased from 1.9 per 100,000 people to 4.8 per 100,000, which the city describes as “above the caution threshold.”

The city boasted about using “science to guide its public health strategies,” which have “saved lives.”

Minneapolis is located in Hennepin County, which the CDC reports is currently a low-risk county for COVID-19. This designation is based on infection and hospitalization numbers. Two counties, Olmsted and Wabasha, are now considered high risk, while eight are described as medium risk.

The bulk of the high-risk counties are in New York; none are in Florida.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey revoked his mask mandate in late February when cases were trending down. The 7-day new case rate at that time was 135 per 100,000 people.

According to a new CDC study released this week, more than half of American adults and 75% of kids have had COVID-19. In Minnesota, 60% of people have been infected, the study claims.

“To me, the high level of prevalence, especially among younger age groups, highlights the absolute futility of trying to suppress a contagious respiratory virus,” health care veteran Kevin Roche told Power Line.

“Prominent scientists warned us of this,” he continued. “When you think about what the efforts to suppress the virus cost us in so many ways, only to end up with most of the population infected anyway, it should really cause everyone to demand a complete overhaul of public health authorities.”

Want to make the thing go away? Stop getting tested every time you have a runny nose.

“Regardless of vaccination status.”
So, tell me again why I should get the jab(s)?

I went to the veterinarian’s office today to get more heartworm prevention medication and there was a sign on the door that masks were required.
I ignored it and entered maskless.
The customer at the counter was masked, the employee behind the counter was not.
I waited (socially distanced) and when she left I asked for the medication, transaction completed, I left.
I knew the maskless employee was not going to say anything to me.

biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he waltzed into the white house, disbanded trump’s “operation warp speed”, opened our southern border, and continues to covertly spread over 2,000,000 nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while anthony fauci, the cdc, the nih, the world health organization, the enemedia, hollywierd, and the majority of our elected representatives sit back and watch...

”Prominent scientists warned us of this…”

No actual scientist would tell you that wearing any old piece of cloth on your face is going to protect you from a virus.

DON’T TRY THIS in Alabama. Except for the virtue-signalling Leftists and people too stupid to know better, it’s OVER here.

I thought by now people would have figured out the mask hoax. “You can’t fix stupid.”

So we were told the vaccine stops everything.
Then we’re told it protects you.
Then told you can still get it if you’re vaccinated.
Then we found out you can spread it if vaccinated.
Then we found out the viral load of the vaccinated vs unvaxxed is the same.
Then told the only thing the vaccine does is makes you less sick....most of the time.
However, people being hospitalized are mostly the vaccinated

The bottom line is——I keep hearing commercials and still seeing signs “You must be vaccinated or else”. Ummmm.....

*****I thought by now people would have figured out the mask hoax. “You can’t fix stupid.”****

Nope! People are that stupid. I actually saw a woman on Saturday in the store with a mask that had printed on it “I’m vaccinated”.

I was like “What the....”

It frustrates me to no end how dumb people are. A masked husband and wife cut me off in line last week. I said (to myself) “Stupid azz maskers”....Well, I must have said it louder than I thought because the wife said to her husband “did you hear what he said”?
I just smirked. I honestly did not see this coming-—I thought Americans would see through this BS.

The vaccine makes you slightly less dead if you die.

You are right - those bogus tests were at the heart of this entire hoax.

I never took a test, never got a shot (never took the flu shot either).

For a while there, I had to wear a mask to get in some places, but I cut little slits under the folds, so I could breathe.

I’m so ashamed of my fellow man for the way they buckled under and were so willing to comply with the shutdowns, “distancing”, mask wearing, testing, “vaccinations”, and fear-mongering.

And don’t think it’s over!

All the submissive people who made those tragic shutdowns possible -,they may not be wearing masks right now - they may appear happy to have things back to normal - but believe me - they are just as submissive today as they were a year ago.

They are just awaiting their next instructions, so we can be forced to go through it all over again.

So pathetic.

"Eddie" would be your other car since it's 'Eddie and the Cruisers'.
