Savannah, Georgia, Reinstates Mask Mandate: ‘This Is Not a Political Issue’
Breitbart ^ | 07/26/20201 | Hannah Bleu

The City of Savannah, Georgia, is one of the latest areas to reinstitute a mask mandate, Mayor Van Johnson (D) announced on Monday.

“This is not a political issue, this is purely public safety and public health,” the Democrat mayor said almost two months after shifting the city’s mask mandate from a mandate to guidance.

“I would not have made this decision without the advice and recommendation of those that are behind me. They didn’t learn about it online, they didn’t look up theories and things, they went to school,” Johnson said. “This is what they do, professionally.”

The Democrat mayor did not give a specific timeline on when officials will lift the mandate, stating it will occur when infection numbers go back down.

“We have shown in this community that masks work,” Johnson said, calling this move the “best bottom line for businesses is for people to be safe.”

No, it’s a control issue.

Mayor Van Johnson (D) announced

I'm sure masks will help with the rise in crime in Dem cities as well.

Behind? More like above. Way above. It's like mayors taking orders from W.H.O., W.E.F. and Klaus Schwab.

Any time someone says, “This is not a political issue” - you know it’s political.

The people who MASK UP, are the first ones to get Delta Covid. No one does well who lives in a bubble, might as well come out, get some SUN, laugh, a merry heart doeth good like a medicine ways the Good Book. Take some vitamin C, D a bit of Zinc, and forgive your mother in law. Be HAPPY, don’t mask up, breathing all of those pathogens and bacteria does NO good to the lungs. If you believe a mask keeps out virus, imagine chicken wire over your window to keep out mosquitos.

Or

Does this mean masks work now against this new variant and no one with a mask can get or spread a virus anymore and everything the cdc and fauxi spouted the past 18 months is wrong about masks?

Crazy. Is this indoors only? In any case, I was just in North Georgia and Tennessee and there were no masks to be seen. I came back to Florida, where DeSantis has vowed to prevent mask “mandates,” and I saw a whole crowd of fools voluntarily trudging around in their masks at the Publix in Jax.

Honestly, I don’t know what we’re going to do to stop the insanity.

So, assuming masks did anything to begin with, just masking within the 103 sq mi that is the land area of Savannah, without blocking anyone coming in or leaving, will keep everyone there safe. Sure, ok...

The former mayor of my town was also named Van Johnson. He was a failure too.

Idiots in Florida continue to mask to virtue signal since DeSantis banned the bans. We’re surrounded by low IQ dummies.

Classic “appeal to authority” fallacy.

Don’t try to think for yourself. You are not qualified.
Find an expert to tell you what to think.

Actually, don’t find an expert. You are not even qualified to do that.
We will find experts to tell you what to think.

Actually, don’t even bother thinking. You are not qualified.
Just do as you are told.

Not surprising from Georgia’s very own Berkeley. Beautiful city but full of sodomites and moonbats.

If people want to wear the stupid face diapers on their own then let them. I refuse and frankly can’t understand people living in fear and misery day in and day out when evidence showing it isn’t helpful and may be dangerous to wear the things is all over.

They are fools but I do feel sorry for the morons.

We are indeed surrounded by nutcases. And people who watch way too much TV or other MSM “news.”

I honestly couldn’t believe it for a moment when I walked into the Publix in Jax around noon and saw all these freaks running around with their masks. Only a few were elderly, many were black (because they watch a lot of TV), and of course there were the usual young white girls, who are now appearing in huge masks that cover their entire lower face.
