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.”

“Permanent”. Word, bitch.
“...liberals absolutely love their masks.... . To them I think it represents their badge of “caring”....”
It is a RELIGION.
Wearing the mask is a RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE.
Not wearing a mask makes you a Heretic.
There is no reason to go to or deal with anything to do with the Nazi state.
What needs to happen is to somehow get all masks to say “BIDEN” on them.
Somehow force association of masks with support of/ for biden.
I keep telling everybody; IF YOU SEE ME WEARING A MASK, IT MEANS I’M GOING TO ROB YOU!
Considering how much the Left loves following the trends of Jolly Olde England, they may not be considering this too much longer.
Thank you, God, for giving me the wisdom to no longer live on the west coast. Things are wayyyyyyy too weird out there.
Yep.. in increasingly most (though not all) cases, it quickly identifies who is liberal and who isn’t, in places where they’re not universally required.
Embracing life as masked sheep.
That’s awfully sad.
I live in NYC. I don’t where a mask anywhere, and nobody says a word to me. The only stores that hassle me are boutiques owned by left wingers in very left wing neighborhoods.
These idiot small business owners have no clue that COVID was meant to destroy them. Ironic that the big chain stores don’t bother me.
So I’m torn between wanting to patronize small businesses, and not wanting to give mask nazis my money.
Same. We travel twice a year to Bend, Klamath Lake, or Gold Beach,
Not happening if this crap passes.
Mask obedience is what they are legislating.
They’re just plain crazy. I guess this is burka training, and it looks like both men and women will be required to wear a burka in the glorious future People’s Republic of Oregon.
I feel really sorry for my few friends still living in Portland.
Lie.
Forever is a long time to have to ignore the mandate, but I’m down.
People are ignoring the mandate.
Passes? It’s an edict. Come help us ignore it.
Hi, Zathras, how are you doing?
