Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announces misdemeanor charges for people who don't wear face masks
Washington Times ^ | June 25, 2020 | Jessica Chasmar

“I think of these face coverings, in some sense, as a statement,” Mr. Inslee said at a press conference, People reported. “It’s a statement that when you wear it, it means you care about people, because it means you want to reduce the risk that you are going to infect another person.”

Mr. Inslee said the order requires people to wear masks in indoor spaces as well as outdoor spaces if social distancing rules cannot be followed.

“Willful violation of this order is tantamount to a misdemeanor,” he said.

Meanwhile, terrorist felons who occupy, pillage and burn Seattle are excused.

The governor is an American enemy. His state has seceded from the Union

Why do you think they are jumping on the mask bandwagon I do not think it is for the reason they state.

The voters of Washington did elect him. They, by proxy approve of his actions. Me, not so much. Finally the voter’s chickens are coming home to roost. They always do at sunset.

The plan.

The order and the optics make it sound like this virus is some really serious stuff.

All by design of course. You see, we can’t ask people to vote in person this fall, that would be asking people to risk their lives to vote.

Therefore, we must consider voting by mail. It’s only logical and reasonable.

However if you’re rioting or protesting you don’t need one.

Today, June 25, 2020 it is not what you do but who you are that natters. You can rest assured that if members of the First Baptist had held a worship service on the same day that the Anarchists were stealing, robbing, burning, and beating people up while being protected by the Police. The Police would have shot the Church Members down like rabid dogs. One has to be the right flavor and do the things that the politicians approve.

Well a misdemeanor conviction can deny you entry into Canada.

“It’s a statement that when you wear it, it means you care about people, ...

Mr. Inslee said the order requires people to wear masks in indoor spaces as well as outdoor spaces if social distancing rules cannot be followed.”

First, it is not the job of government to MANDATE CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.

Second, what about ME GETTING SICK from wearing a mask? Am I not more important than a random stranger?

Third, most orders I have seen require masks IF SOCIAL DISTANCING CANNOT BE MAINTAINED. But businesses don’t want to be bothered with the second part of the requirement and just say masks are required. My gym requires a mask, and all the equipment is 6-8 feet apart, at minimum.

Looks like they’re good for blowing your nose.

If I don’t wear a mask and everyone else does, how am I going to infect anyone?

I had an appointment with my pulmonologist on Tuesday. They handed me a mask at the front desk and told me I wouldn’t have to put it on until I was called back. I got my breathing test and the gal administering it didn’t ask me to put it on so I didn’t. I stopped at the library on the way home that just reopened and was the only one in there without a mask. I also went to Walgreens on the way home and again, the only one in there without a mask. No one said a word. I haven’t been going out much at all but it sure felt good.
Even had to get a new battery in my car because I wasn’t driving - just starting it up every few days and that wasn’t enough to keep it charged. My husband and I haven’t had the number of medical appointments we had last year and being on the road to/from those sure kept it charged. This year is a lot different..

Here are a couple questions I would like the “party of science” to answer:

If an antibody test shows that someone has already had COVID-19, is that person still required to wear a mask?

If the answer is yes, does that mean masks will still be required after a COVID-19 vaccine is developed?

After all, that is what a vaccine does - it develops antibodies to ward off the disease.

Just askin’....

“,,, face coverings, ... Mr. Inslee said. “It’s a statement that when you wear it, ... you care about people, because you want to reduce the risk you ... infect another person.”

I didn’t notice any science in that pap.

I view wearing a mask as giving up your freedom.”

Here is a study of the efficacy of surgical face masks:

they dont work

the virus is 37 nm across

they will easily be coughed or sneezed through any mask any typical person is wearing.

now combine it with the fact some masks arent sealed to the face and that makes them useless

or the people pull them down

its ridiculous
