Hypochondriacs take him serious. Still see the occasional person sporting a mask, although I suppose they might have compromised immune systems from the "vaccines"?

Some lady at work the other day was demanding I put on a mask while I'm in the office. Not required and wasn't happening. Keep in mind, she is rarely on this campus and I've only seen her once or twice....huge PITA.

You sure that was a health related request?

Report her for sexual harassment and unwanted touching. You refuse to be silent and WILL speak your truth, also, you'll be speaking truth to power. Demand she be fired. Also, use your trauma to take some paid time off.

The poll is closed, but I would have chosen 'never'.

I had to get cleared by the TSA and be given a airport badge to enter closed areas at my new job. Airport and TSA offices require a mask. I had to go there and watch a video and take an exam. I'm in this walled off room (glass walls), full partitions between desks, not a soul in there except me. I'm watching this mind-numbing vid and some Karen comes in, taps me on the shoulder and says "Excuse me sir, can I get you to put on your mask?" and then "Would you mind?" I looked up at her and said "Does it matter?" She had this blank stare and I put the mask back on and went back to the video without looking up.

I just wanted my effing badge.

After more than two years, the United States may have exited the so-called pandemic phase of COVID-19, according to top White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Fauci, who has been the federal government’s public face for its COVID-19 response and rules, told PBS Newshour on April 26 that “we are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase,” according to a transcript. When asked whether there will be an end to the pandemic, he responded that it’s an “unanswerable question.”

In recent days, the United States has seen a “low level” of COVID-19 cases, Fauci said.

“So if you’re saying: Are we out of the pandemic phase in this country? We are.”

Fauci then pushed for people to get COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots. COVID-19 shots “might be” an “every year” occurrence, he said, adding that it “might be longer, in order to keep that level low.”

His comments come after a federal judge in Florida issued an order striking down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s mask rule for airplanes, airports, and public transportation. The CDC said it would have the Department of Justice appeal the ruling, although the Transportation Security Administration said it wouldn’t enforce the mandate in the meantime.

As a result, major airlines and a number of airports announced they wouldn’t enforce mask mandates. Uber, Amtrak, Lyft, and others did the same.

Outside the United States, millions of Chinese people have been forced by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to take mandatory COVID-19 tests in Beijing. Meanwhile, a severe, month-long lockdown in Shanghai has triggered food shortages and human rights violations.

Beijing was testing the more than 3.5 million residents of its Chaoyang district on April 27, all of whom had been screened on April 25. Meanwhile, 16 million from other districts were tested on April 26 and are due for another round on April 28. In total, 20 million of Beijing’s 22 million residents will be tested three times this week.

A widely circulated video from Shanghai showed a foreigner trying to break through metal barriers onto a Shanghai street before being pulled back and dragged to the ground by four people in protective hazmat suits.

“I want to die,” the man shouted repeatedly in Chinese and English. One of the unknown individuals holding him down responded, “You need to respect the laws and regulations here.”

Since the start of the pandemic, Fauci’s agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has received scrutiny from members of Congress over whether the agency funded controversial gain-of-function research at a high-security laboratory in Wuhan, China. The virus was first reported in Wuhan in late 2019.

I posted somewhere that I was running the risk of black Suburbans showing up at mouse for posting that it would end April 28th. Could still happen.

Never happen. The cost to "move" everything from FL to TX, including land acquisition and construction in TX, would be astronomical. And it would take years.

Biden is probably MORE than willing to pay for the move.
