Our update this afternoon was the same, the vaccine does not prevent getting and spreading the virus, only becoming ill from it. I sense masks until fall.

Biden's first day in office: 100 day Federal Mask Mandate

Biden's 101st day: It's not working. 100 more days

Biden's last day in office: If you re-elect me, my first task will be to put in place a 100 day mask mandate just as I have done these last 4 years. We have come too far to turn back now.

sounds like our idiot governor. law gives her permission to declare an emergency for 30 days. but gives her too much latitude to keep extending it, indefinitely. so hopefully the legislature will revise that and reign her in a bit. "two more weeks, and we'll see how well you peasants are behaving...."

new pitch will be that "patriots wear masks!"

If the state you are in has a mask mandate like ours then it is not out of line to have a sign on the door saying you need a mask to enter or that a manager or employee of the store say something to someone that is not wearing one...unless of course you have a medical condition that dictates you can not wear one.Personally I think it's easier to wear the mask,get your few things and leave in peace.
If having that kind of confrontation is something that makes you feel good.... then by all means.....do it.
I was recently taking some bird pictures -outside- and a woman approached me and mentioned I should be wearing a mask. I ignored her very existence which pissed her off even further.

I guess my point is this; if you feel that strongly that masks are pointless, and I do, just go about your business and ignore the mask Nazis. It'll be a a cold day in hell before I engage a supermarket manager about these things.

Unless I misread, I think DJ's point of him being singled out for not wearing a mask when several others weren't was his complaint. If there's a mandate, fine. It's the law so you wear a mask. But if you're going to hold one accountable, hold all accountable.

He was not specific as to whether there was a mandate in his state.

Wife and I will walk and ride bikes and will not wear masks,we will bring one in case we want to stop at a store along the way. If someone told me to wear a mask while outside I would wish them a nice day and keep walking.

And with that being said I will not continue to post in this thread again because like talking politics no good can come from it

Mask requirement is unenforceable here. I wore one. Washed my hands. Avoided crowds. Used sanitizer and still caught the crap. I don't wear one anymore. Got a nasty look from a beotch at Home Depot the other day. I just gave her a shit eating grin in return.

So keeping people away from each other doesn’t slow the spread of an infectious disease.....is that what your going with?

Weird how when they did it here, we were down to one active case in the whole province.

Oct-Nov new cases were 500 + a day.....yesterday was 44
You just ran out of residents that had not yet gotten it.

Bolded part is painfully obvious. As for bitching about those other things, that's not allowed because that's hyperbole according to some here.

450,000 people die every year in the U.S. from smoking, which is perfectly legal. Nobody gives a shit about those deaths either.

Did the Ark carry two of every animal during a downpour. That’s written down too somewhere so it must be a fact? I could find thousands of sites stating the earth is flat so that must be a fact too?

If gathering large amounts of people into a congested area causes greater numbers to be affected, does it not make sense that keeping those same people apart would slow it down?

Sorry you have so little faith in your government to think that there is some power trip happening rather than looking out for your best interests.

Cases rise shortly after holidays thanks to large family gatherings.

Is the above statement fact? Is it “so they say”

If power over people is their end game like some think here why hasn’t Sweden been blown to bits because clearly they ignored the memo.
