Oregon’s health officials are considering making the indoor mask mandate permanent, which requires everyone age five and older to wear a mask in indoor public spaces.
Currently, the Oregon Health Authority’s rule requires individuals, even the fully vaccinated, to wear “masks, face coverings or face shields” in “all indoor spaces.” That includes “public and private workplaces, businesses, indoor areas open to the public, building lobbies, common or shared spaces, classrooms, elevators, bathrooms, transportation services and other indoor space where people may gather for any purpose,” according to the rule, which is set to expire in February. Because of that, health officials are expected to “propose making it permanent in order to allow the mandate to remain in place indefinitely,” according to Newsweek.
“None of us want to wear these masks forever, that is not the intent at all,” State Rep. Pam Marsh (D) told KOBI-TV. “It’s to recognize where we’re at in this public health emergency and enable us to continue with those mask requirements.”

HUH?
Defy them now are march into the ovens when they command.
“subjects of the State of Oregon”
Ironic, considering that Oregon rigs its “elections” to pretend that it’s blue.
seems very reasonable.
they should also SUTURE or use cyanoacrylate to affix
the masks forever on the Oregon sheeple.
that way there will be less litter.
Or sew their mouth and nose shut.

Ya just knew these leftist misfits were dreaming of this kind of never ending punitive control.
Just had a flash of brilliance. First BREXIT, not VAXIT! Me likey. But, anyone think brandon and dr faunocchio will ever admit this failure?
Guess I will not be taking my almost yearly trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon this summer.
What fun is being at the beach when masked up everytime one enters a store or cafe?
Branch Covidians lobby to change name of state to Covidegon..

Possible theme park to be unveiled and retail opportunities to follow.
Oregon and Utah must have missed the memo. The rest of the world is in retreat on these masks and jabs.
And, CA, NV, WA, NM, NY...........
Is it too late to tell the pioneers in 1883 to pick another state?
Living in a deep blue city I have long observed that liberals absolutely love their masks. Love ‘em. To them I think it represents their badge of “caring”. Wearing it in their cars, walking in the parking lots, etc. Additionally, I truly believe these people have been brainwashed into believing that they are in abject peril without their mask.
They may not quite admit it overtly, but they want masks. It totally does not surprise me that there is now an undercurrent of desire to make mandatory masks permanent. I don’t say this as hyperbole, but a lot of liberals are not very mentally balanced. They need someone to tell them what to do. They desire to have someone order their lives for them. Masks give them a feeling of security. Crazy.
It would actually be interesting to see if Oregon officials float.
