Health officials in Contra Costa County are recommending the use of face masks in crowded indoor settings as a summer wave of COVID-19 cases sweeps through the Bay Area.

On Tuesday, county health authorities renewed their advice for residents, especially those at high risk of severe illness, to use masks as a protective measure.

This recommendation aligns with current state guidelines and San Francisco’s recent advisory that masks remain an effective tool to limit the virus’s spread.

Dr. Ori Tzvieli, the Contra Costa County health officer, pointed to the emergence of highly transmissible coronavirus variants, referred to as FLiRT, which have led to a notable increase in infections and emergency room visits throughout the summer.

California remains among 19 U.S. states where wastewater virus levels are at a “very high” level, accompanied by a steady rise in emergency room visits and an increase in test positivity to 13% from a low of 1.8% at the start of summer.

And they are testing everyone to verify it, right?

You forgot to add a ‘lunatic alert’... Get some pics of him driving around in a car with the windows up and his mask on... That’s always good for a laugh.

I have some updated guidance for mask placement for all of these officials who think that they know what is best for us: they should carefully fold the mask three times, bend over, and firmly shove it where the sun don’t shine.

We have the walkers here also. Then there are the people alone in their car, windows up, and fully masked.
