To mask, or not to mask?
That is the question facing many doctors, public health officials and concerned citizens worldwide, as cases of COVID-19 once again tick upward.
Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned on Thursday that there’s a new, “highly mutated variant” of the coronavirus named BA.2.86 that’s spreading worldwide.
Recent data from the New York state Department of Health, released Aug. 2, showed that COVID cases spiked by 55% over the prior week, with an average of 824 reported cases per day across the state.
The rise in COVID-19 cases isn’t limited to New York: The CDC recorded 10,320 US hospital admissions for COVID-19 in the week ending August 5 — a 14.3% increase from the week prior.

Oh, we so need mail-in balloting in 2024, and those native lands in Maui, totally sell them to Oprah. She has the cash and is the right color!
The NY Post should definitely be masked!
Now it’s the BA.2.86 variant that’s going to kill us all? I’m waiting for the BR-549 variant before I start worrying.
Just came back from the store where I saw 5 people wearing masks. Two of those were employees. They’re either ahead of the curve or complete idiots. I’ll go with the latter.
The only truly effective mask is a plastic dry cleaner’s bag tied at the neck.
Please pass this on to any lib friends.
Proven science says duct tape over the mouth and nose works better. I hope all the Maskaholics follow the proven science.
The N95 mask says right on the box... that it doesnt stop virus’...
...so....NO.
The education of an idiot:
“Lallanilla received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin, where he majored in environmental geography and architecture. He completed his master’s degree in environmental planning at the University of California, Berkeley, submitting a thesis on ecological restoration. Lallanilla also studied in New York University’s graduate program in Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting.”

Which means he knows very little that is worthwhile to live your life. Just another over-educated moron.
Should we be having this stupid conversation?
No period
I ain’t doing this $hit again. I will not be so “nice” this time around to the mask shamers. How stupid are people when they have been masking and vaccinated a zillion times and it keeps spreading!!!??? My goodness-—
Mask all you want to, but leave me alone. I won’t be wearing one under any circumstance.
You read my mind !
LOL
To paraphrase the late, great Johnny Paycheck...”Take this mask and shove it”.
The CDC can KMA!
No, thank you.
You have a nice day now!
