Pandemic Forever: L.A. County Reinstates Health Care Facility Mask Mandate
Breitbart ^ | 12/31/2023 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 12/31/2023 7:35:28 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Los Angeles County has reinstated a mask mandate for all patients and staff at health care facilities heading into 2024, as a winter surge in coronavirus cases has reached key benchmarks.

Local ABC affiliate KABC-7 reported Saturday:

“Over the past week in Los Angeles County, there have been notable, yet not unexpected, increases in COVID-19 reported cases, hospitalizations and deaths,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement. “While recent increases are significant, they remain considerably below last winter’s peak and common-sense protections are strongly recommended to help curb transmission and severe illness as the new year begins.”

There are plenty of paranoid chicken littles who will not “feel safe” during cold and flu season unless EVERYONE is muzzled up.

And they have been advocating for mandates November - April EVERY year!

LA County is late to the game.

UPMC (Pennsylvania’s largest private employer) announced a similar mandate on December 13. It went into effect December 20.

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdowns🎼🎵🎶
everywhere you go
From the drug store to urgent care
the feeling’s back in the air
you can’t check out now if your face is bare.

The rulers will hold on tight
and we’ll all have to fight
or they’ll make us mail our vote November 5th.

Makes it real easy to identify the retard in LA County. The ones that wear the suites and nice clothes are the retards in charge ... the others are just morons that wear regular clothes .... and the ones in scrubs are patients and they have to wear them because they are told to and don’t know any better.

More people are vaccinated now than before, and that shows in the decreased number of cases and deaths in 2023 as compared to previous years of the pandemic.

However, the unvaccinated still remain just as vulnerable to illness, long-term health impairments, and death if they catch Covid. Since the number of vaccinated is still far short of the number needed to reach herd immunity, physical measures such as masking and social distancing are still needed.

Some 81% of the population has received at least one dose of Covid vaccine, and 70% are considered fully vaccinated. However, immunity against coronaviruses only lasts for a few months. In addition, the immunity from the original virus might not work very well against newer circulating strains. For the best protection, therefore, it is a good idea to get boosted with the newest vaccine. People have not been as diligent about getting the newest vaccine, in part because they don’t hear about Covid in the news as much and think it is no longer a problem.

Until at least 95% of the population realizes that the pandemic is still a problem and gets the latest updated vaccine formulation, the physical measures will have to stay in place. (95% need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity.)

The only thing good about it is we’ll know who the Brandon voters are.

You conveniently omit the fact that each new variant is weaker aka less deadly even if it is more infectious.

IOW, it is rapidly approaching nothingburger status.

Lies!!

More PURE BS lies!!

Some 81% of the population has received at least one dose of Covid vaccine, and 70% are considered fully vaccinated. However, immunity against coronaviruses only lasts for a few months. In addition, the immunity from the original virus might not work very well against newer circulating strains.

Utter nonsense. The $hots are causing excess deaths, destroyed immune systems. Only BigPharma and FRAUDci minions spew such fibs.

Until at least 95% of the population realizes that the pandemic is still a problem and gets the latest updated vaccine formulation, the physical measures will have to stay in place. (95% need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity.)

Spoken like a true, BigPharma plant. Stop with the Govt sponsored propaganda.

Give it a rest, in 2024.
