SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Governor JB Pritzker is encouraging people to once again wear masks indoors. This is due to the fast-spreading delta variant.

Pritzker said people should wear masks even if they’re vaccinated. He said the threat of new strains of COVID-19 makes it urgent for more people to get their shots.

“This virus is very much present, infecting people, hospitalizing some and tragically, killing others every day. Israel, which has led the world in vaccinations has reinstated its indoor mask mandate, and other mitigations in light of fully vaccinated adults getting infected with the delta variant,” Pritzker said.

Urging-recommending-mandating. We know where this is going. May be a little more backlash this time. Owww! Owww! Now there won’t just be vaccine hesitancy to whine about, there will be mask hesitancy to deal with. OH NOES!!!!

Masks, shots, lockdowns, distancing will NEVER end.

The way we end this is by refusing to participate in the scam.

It will never end. We don’t even know if this variant actually exists or if the whole thing is made up out of whole cloth. Media, Govt and medical authorities lie without compunction.

“…Mean while in London this week!:…”
****************************
Watching Wimbledon tennis on the two indoor stadiums (rain delays on the outside court) right now and the stands are loaded with mask less spectators sitting right next to one another. The “frightening” (major league sarcasm) Delta variant makes up 90% of the UK’s current infections,

NO MORE MASKS OR RESTRICTIONS OF ANY KIND!

Why do these STUPID politicians not understand that a mask will not stop the virus. Holes in mask too large. I personally would be embarrassed to be as stupid as these people are.

Can anyone point to the definitive evidence that the delta “variant”; is more virulent or spread more quickly??

I keep hearing that - but I’ve seen nothing to indicate how they arrive at that conclusion.

I do when I mow the lawn.

But then again, pollen and dust that gets kicked up are bigger than viruses and the mask actually keeps them out.

Oh, and when I'm sanding something that I'm refinishing.

They need to have some common sense. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ Yes, reoen the restaurants, outdoor spectator events, etc. But they should discourage large indoor crowds.

——- it’s time for sheeple to switch to wearing plastic bags over their heads to “block the virus”.

This would seem to indicate that there is NOT a surge of cases:
