Last month, Bay Area counties announced that were opting not to mandate masks indoors amid the current uptick of COVID-19 cases, citing low hospitalization numbers, as well as the fact that the highly vaccinated region is well-protected against severe illness and death.
On Thursday, Alameda County broke ranks by once again implementing an indoor mask mandate "to limit the impact of increasing COVID-19 cases on hospitalizations." The mandate, which takes effect June 3, applies to most indoor settings, save K-12 schools and the city of Berkeley, which sets its own health protocols. The state lifted its school mask mandate earlier this year.
There is no end date for the Alameda County mandate.
Earlier this week, the New York Times published a piece titled "Why masks works but mandates haven't" that questions the efficacy of broad community-level mandates.

Yep. My wife and I have put up with this crap and resisted as much as we can. We’re ready to sell everything and leave this this pathetic state.
If an infection is airborne, cotton masks are useless. A virus particle is measured in nanometers. The warp and woof of weaving is measured as thousands of times larger. Picture a bee flying through an open garage door. The masks are talismans, like a rabbet’s foot.
Attention Faggots: Masks don’t work on Monkey Pox either.
Numerous *genuine* scientific studies (the kind in which different researchers in different countries get the same results) prove muzzles don’t stop covid. The only reason for the elites to mandate them are to enforce conformity, dehumanization, and obedience. I’m not a dog or a slave. Therefore, I won’t be wearing a muzzle.
This is just nuts at this point
Drip, drip, drip... right up to the midterms, when they will go full “COVID” b.s. “crisis” again, and steal the elections, again. And what will be done about it? Nada.
“F” Alameda County.
True, maybe inserting a banana in the orifice may help slow the spread instead .
Why not mandate baseball caps while you are at it. They are just as effective.
In a recent thread which included “death rates soaring again”, mewzilla posted a link to a study showing that mask mandates actually increased mortality because of the so-called Foegen effect.
