Officials in San Francisco voted to approve a mask mandate on Thursday for people using its public transportation system.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit Board of Directors approved the mask mandate during a board of directors meeting, and it comes just over a week after a federal judge tossed out the national mask mandate for public transportation that was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Fox affiliate KTVU in San Francisco.

Masks keep riders safe? This before or after you get shanked by a homeless person?

To be fair, the masks may reduce the amount of stench you have to endure.

So there’s that.

Notice they would NEVER put this to a public vote because they know it would lose

I doubt that a an administrative appointed “Board of Directors’” vote carries the force of law.

Heh, but that's the point of the whole thing - those masks won't reduce ANY of the stench, caused by particles many times larger than a virus, so how do they protect against viruses? The masks will just allow you to take the stench home with you.

And?

San Francisco. For whatever reason, a lot of Asians like to wear masks (I don't know why), and there are a lot of Americans of Asian descent in San Francisco. And, of course, Leftists wear the mask as a religious talisman - to show that they are a member of the Leftist tribe. And, also of course, there are many Leftists in San Francisco ... so, it would lose the public vote in most places - but I doubt it would lose in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I resumed riding BART once a week 3 weeks ago. I was shocked that even after the mandate was lifted everyone still wore a mask. Except me. Different than what’s been happening on airplanes. I intend to continue my masklessness while seated next to masked druggies sleeping and stoned. There is no public health agency directing me to mask and a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional to mask on public transit. Next up: the dentists and doctors and hospitals. When can masking be optional there?

Sheesh. Don’t wear a mask and dare anyone to say anything.

[captain_jonas]

You just contradicted yourself. If everyone in SanFran wears masks then why have a mandate?
