D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s (D) most recent mask mandate, which orders three-year-olds to cover their faces, exempts lawmakers and government employees while they are “on duty.”
Bowser issued the order Wednesday, mandating everyone over the age of two wear a mask in both indoor and outdoor settings.
“Under the new Mayor’s Order on masks, people must wear a mask when they leave their homes if they are likely to come into contact with another person for more than a fleeting moment,” the mayor’s office states.
While masking mandates across the nation, and in D.C., typically contain several exceptions — exempting the disabled, those who are actively eating, drinking, and people who are “vigorously” exercising — a closer look at Bowser’s executive action shows that the order does not apply to lawmakers, judges, or government employees while they are “on duty.”
“The enforcement provisions of this Order shall not be applied to persons in the judicial or legislative branches of the District government while those persons are on duty; and shall not apply to any employees of the federal government while they are on duty,” the order states.
The Metropolitan Police Department is authorized to enforce the order on all of those ages 18 and older. Violators can be fined up to $1,000.
The mayor’s mask mandate is in effect until at least October 9, 2020.
Bowser’s order comes as officials in both state and local government positions ramp up their enforcement of mask mandates. Florida’s Miami-Dade County, for example, has dedicated a small unit of over three dozen officers to enforce the county’s mask mandate. First, second, and third-time violators can face fines of $50, $100, and $500, respectively. After that, the individual can face jail time.

No identifier....no answer.
No message...no return call.
“Contact tracing” ain’t gonna get me!
A local masking order exempts, among others, those “Who are receiving governmental services”. What kind of fresh horse*hit is that?
On many levels its dam past time.
apparently some animals are more equal than others right?
Massive civil disobedience is the only way, short of violence, to end this bullshit.
“D.C. Mask Mandate Exempts Lawmakers and Government Employees”
no surprise ... government pigs are more equal than other pigs ...
I do not recognize my country.

The cheapie masks are all for show. They are worthless.
I had a doctor’s visit today and showed him the video. He was wearing a cheapie mask. He said “Of course, when I visit the hospital, I wear the 95 mask, but I can only wear it for 15 minutes at a time, then I have to go outside for a breath of air. If you wear it too long, the CO2 builds up.”
More criminal government at work.

Ditto - although it’s interesting what the country went through with the Spanish flu a hundred years ago; similarities uncanny.
