California Health Officials Urge Indoor Masking as COVID Surges
Breitbart ^ | 08/15/2024 | Joel B. Pollak

California health officials are urging residents to wear masks in indoor settings as the state suffers its worst summer coronavirus surge in years.

Patch.com reported:

The Golden State is among 27 states reporting “very high” levels and another 17 states reporting “high” levels of wastewater viral activity, as of Aug. 9. This summer is California’s worst for COVID-19 infections since 2022, according to the California Department of Public Health, and state health officials urged residents to wear masks indoors once again.

Health experts said high temperatures during California’s heat wave are keeping people indoors, making the spread of the virus much easier, leading to this summer surge. …

With the current spike in COVID infections, “this is probably going to end up becoming the largest summer wave we’ve had,” Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health and former White House COVID-19 response coordinator, told NBC News.

As Breitbart News noted earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning on the idea that President Joe Biden brought “COVID under control.”

Coworker got COVID yet again. Fully vaxxed and boosted. I asked them if they were vaccinated, and they proceeded to not only get angry but start yelling at me. I just asked them if they were vaccinated. I know they are, because they posted pictures on LinkedIn every damn time they got a shot. Yet now, I’m a denier because THEY got COVID not once, twice, or even three times but 5 times. Fully tested, swabbed, whatever, they confirmed they had it multiple times, but they get angry at ME when I ask if they were vaccinated.

The cognitive dissonance among liberals is astonishing to witness.

The hospitals are full and there are tents set up outside on the parking lot?

Funeral homes are overwhelmed?

Yeah that is what I thought.

Making people hate each other is control. Who is controling you today? Well when the government does it and then the communists figure out how to get a few extra votes-by-mail...POOF. COMMUNISM.

I also know someone who got it recently. It’s their fourth go around. They haven’t taken the jab in years. They were sick for one day and pretty much back to normal. In someways easier than most colds/flus.

The best immunity is not artificial. It’s natural immunity.

What I don’t get is why this virus likes the summer months so much when your more common cold and flu viruses definitely seem to prefer colder months. Seems odd.

Flu shots coming up. At least one drug company has combined the Flu vaccine with the Covid “vaccine”.

The COVID election variant “Darth Vader” is finally here for 2024! Put on your masks and drop your pants!

Wearing a mask designates that these people have even a lower IQ than people took a shot or three. If people do both, well there are just no words.

$10 says our local hospitals will reinstall their asinine maks requirements for appointments. They have a “no mask no service” policy evidnetly, although I hadn’t heard of a yone not getting critical treatment for not being vaccinated or wearing a mask. I’m sure it would have been in the news had someone died after being denied- but again, maybe some did and they are covering it up. Who knows?

Many here on fr called it pretty much as soon as covid came out that it was now going to be ongoing never ending mask and vax requirements everytime flu season rolled around- with the powers that be declaring that new flues are “covid” without any proof

Kamaltoe is keeping the borders open and nobody is checking to see what diseases the illegals are bringing into this country. A-Walz is already setting up the phone lines so people can snitch on their neighbors that do not wear masks.

I prefer to die naturally, rather than to be murdered.

I’m sure the criminals will sure like it. Just like the old west - only the bad people wore masks.

The masks are good only for virtue signaling. To review:

1. They make it harder to breathe.

2. They hinder personal communication.

3. They don’t filter out viruses. The fabric is not dense enough. You continue to breath your germy air out around the edges. For true virus protection, you’d need a WWI-style gas mask.

4. Doctors need them omly to avoid dropping things from their faces into open wounds.
