At this point in the coronavirus pandemic, some areas are phasing out mask mandates, but, at the national level, the guidance to wear masks is staying put, at least for now. So, should you mask up or not? Infectious disease experts have some advice for wherever you live.
The mask landscape
Whether you must wear a mask depends on where you live in the United States. Whether you should is an entirely different matter, experts say.
About a fifth of states never had mask mandates. Some states with more conservative governors, such as Florida, punished schools that put mask mandates in place by withholding funds, even when COVID-19 cases were at record levels.

Couple of two-baggers. And they want a nickel for bags at my grocery store. I’ve been ignoring Oregon’s mask mandate, and more and more people are. The other day, an elderly couple in the produce department hustled to put their masks on while talking to a masked employee. He said “You don’t have to do that.”
I can’t believe I just read that Glen Youngkin, governor of VA, managed to get two Dim Senators to vote for his bill regarding the Mask mandate, which passes it in the Senate.
Also in the article it reads that the bill will go into affect in a short time, thanks to Dims when they were in power voted that a bill like this one could be expedited.
THIS IS FANTASTIC. HOORAY FOR GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN AND HIS WONDERFUL ADMINISTRATION.
Anxious to read about Loudon County’s reaction.
Here in Cruzistan, wearing the training burka will go on forever as we are ruled by a cabal of crazed Karens
Jen, keep us safe and wear a burqa. The “cute “wife” would do well to find a man.
Right. I’ve been free-facing it all along and I’m just fine.
It’s like when I see the phrase “wear your mask.” (Mostly by Karens on social media.)
This incorrectly assumes that I have a mask.
It’s the ed system. They should be called Gen T for Twinkie.
If these kids have to go up against the Chinese or Russian militaries, it’s all over. They’ll fold and apologize for being so rude.
Yet another reason to ignore the dinosaur KSBW
The typical mask user is reusing the same non-sealing cloth mask every day, day after day, without washing it. Stuffing it in their pocket or purse when not.
A N95 mask is effective for about 3 hours in a sterile environment and 30 minutes outside or in a non-sterile environment.
Yeah, that’s going to work.
That’s a hoot!
I have one. It’s filthy, and wadded up in a jacket pocket. Back in 2020 I was fishing at my favorite lake, and one of the indigenous homeless handed me a mask in a little sealed package. They were giving them away at the place that fed the homeless. I asked him what I was supposed to do with it. He said “Use it to keep your nutsack warm, for all I care.”
If Joe, The Surrender Monkey, continues on the same path with the russkies and the chicoms, you might get your chance to model it in order to survive chemical / biological attacks.
I put the purple “Defender” cartridges
Only HALLOWEEN!!!
Since there is no proof, or even evidence that masking has saved a single life, NO!
Nope. And just to be clear, I do not wear a mask at all. The ONLY exception being that time when I have to visit my doctor’s office. Even then, I will opt out for a Virtual Office visit, when possible.
Funny that was my first guess.
