WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters) - The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) told federal agencies they must mandate masks indoors in federal buildings for all employees and visitors regardless of vaccination status in areas of substantial or high COVID-19 community transmission, according to an email seen by Reuters.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance on Tuesday that vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in areas of substantial or high COVID-19 transmission.

In an email sent to all federal agencies late on Tuesday, Jason Miller, OMB's deputy director for management, said in line with the CDC guidance, "in areas of substantial or high community transmission, agencies must require all federal employees, onsite contractors, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask inside of federal buildings. As of today, that includes the Washington, D.C., area."

It added that people "not fully vaccinated also need to continue to physically distance consistent with CDC guidance."

The CDC said on Tuesday at least 63% of U.S. counties are considered substantial or high risk.

And all the high-risk counties are red and picked Trump in huge number in 2020! /sarc

I sure hope the government stocks up on N-95’s to hand out when we the hoi-polloi enter their buildings.

But they won’t.

Coronavirus PING!

If you think about it this virus bull crap is really kind of dumb

All they have all they have in the world is too two things

And they just repeat them over and over and over

“Wear a mask” and “get a vaccine”

Who isn’t totally sick and tired of all this garbage I was sick of it in April of last year

Is the US prepared to deny access to public spaces to over 90% of US blacks?

The CDC reports that only 9% of blacks have been vaxed!

Are Biden Democrats using the Covid Vaccine as another Democrat racist tool against Black Americans?

91% of American blacks have not been vaccinated with either one or two doses of Covid vaccine. Source CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e4.htm

Our current administration is set to pursue a policy of only allowing vaxed people into public spaces.

A vaccine passport that blacks will not be able to obtain will be required for travel.

The White House has stated time and time again that black Americans are unable to obtain IDs.

Are we prepared to deny over 90% of blacks access to public spaces based on VAX status?

Blacks will not be able to travel, work, enter schools, grocery stores, restaurants, bars.

However, they will continue to vote for the dems while alive and long after they are dead!

Coming to a Post Office and court near you. The Vaccines didn’t work—That is the Message. Why get them? They are of no value.

Because they love the feel of power before their dictatorship is announced.

Ever remember the old saying: insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

Well either they’ve gone insane, they are really stupid, or they have nefarious reasons that they ain’t telling us-and I don’t think they are ALL that stupid.

Yes it is. But as I said, I don’t believe they are ALL -as in every single one - that stupid. Which leaves the 2 other options for that group.

I’d rather know the number of cases in the WH and associated buildings than the number of masks
