Some California college students are fighting to have mask mandates reinstated amid ongoing discussions around the return to some COVID-19 precautions.
Last week, the Disabled Students Union (DSU) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), announced on Instagram that a proposed resolution titled "A Resolution to Mandate Masking, Weekly PCR testing, and Upcoming COVID-19 Vaccines, and to Improve Ventilation, and Reinstate the COVID-19 Task Force" failed to receive enough votes from the university's Undergraduate Student Association Council (USAC).
Some of the main aspects of the resolution proposed by the DSU included mask requirements for indoor and crowded outdoor spaces, weekly COVID-19 PCR testing requirements, updated COVID-19 vaccine requirements, and the reinstatement of the COVID-19 task force at UCLA.
The proposed resolution comes as the discussion around the possible return to mask mandates has continued, with some hospitals in New York announcing mask requirements for staff, patients, and visitors in response to increases in COVID-19 hospitalizations. In August, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that a new COVID-19 variant, BA.2.86, maybe more capable "of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines." However, on September 15, the CDC said, "At this time, BA.2.86 does not appear to be rapidly increasing or driving increases in infections or hospitalizations in the United States."
In California, the healthcare company Kaiser Permanente announced a return to its mask mandate last month. Data from the state's COVID-19 tracking dashboard show that as of September 9, California has a seven-day average number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations of 395.3. In comparison, throughout June and most of July, this number stayed below 200.

May their chains rest lightly.
“Some” Nobody is stopping them from wearing a mask.
Bless their hearts
Majority of students at UCLA are out of state from other states and countries
A reminder that quite possibly these retards had 3-5 mRNA injections already, that’s why they’re getting infected to such a high percentage, plus these fools are the ones passing it on to other idiots.
What a misleading headline!
An accurate headline would read “Mask Mandate Demanded By a Few California Disabled Students REJECTED by Student Association Council”
“May their chains rest lightly.”
They will wear them with pride, like swaddling clothes. They will feel so superior to the rest of us.
What a bunch of babies!
Fixed it.
This bunch doesn’t really need to go to college. They are already adequately brainwashed.
If everyone would stop being a sheep. This would never work.
They did the mask mandate at my job. Everybody wore it for maybe a week. Then we all stopped. They did nothing.
Losers.
My mask protects you;
Your mask protects me.
Democrats on Parade. :D
Well,like the saying goes,”the movie Idiocracy is a Documentary “.
