    I still haven't had anyone require the wearing of a mask and only one employee even said anything. A quick "medical exception" reply stopped that one quickly. Haven't worn one anywhere.

    If NYC progressive liberals plan was to make an example of parts of 'extremist' GOP base that used to identify as "small gov Tea party' , ' pro DOMA, anti-abortion Christian conservatives' etc and trasform GOP into a proressive liberal pro socialism, pro big-gummit , anti debt ceiling, pro gay-weddings/LGBTQ civil rights party, they may have made historic progress by running one of the NYC liberals as a "Republican'.

    Trump’s Surgeon General Says ‘Please, Please, Please’ Wear Mask

    June 30, 2020
    The Trump administration’s coronavirus task force stepped up its calls for Americans to wear masks as cases surge in some states but Vice President Mike Pence said there are no plans to override governors who have yet to require them.
    “Please, please, please wear a face covering when you go out in public,” Surgeon General Jerome Adams, a member of the task force, said at a briefing Tuesday.
    Adams delivered the strongest plea to the public yet from an administration that has often sidestepped direct recommendations to wear masks. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Pence both urged wearing a mask at the event in Rockville, Maryland, though Pence only said to do so if local authorities recommended it.
    Pence himself wore a mask before he began speaking.

    New Trump ad features multiple clips of president wearing mask


    By Dominick Mastrangelo - 10/17/20


    A new political advertisement for President Trump includes several video clips of him wearing a mask while a narrator praises his administration's coronavirus response.

    "Joe Biden has no real plan to defeat the coronavirus. Just criticize, complain and surrender," the television spot begins, according to advertising tracker AdMo. "When President Trump shut down traveled to China, Biden attacked him."

    The ad then pivots, showing several short videos of Trump walking through various medical facilities, wearing a mask, with a team of doctors and aides at his side.

    "President Trump is leading attacking the virus head on, developing a vaccine in record time," the narrator declares. "Rebuilding our economy under President Trump Way will be careful, but resolute."

    Trump seems to strike a new tone on masks: 'If you get close, wear a mask'

    Thu October 29, 2020

    (CNN) President Donald Trump struck a slightly new tone on mask-wearing at a rally on Thursday, telling a group of largely maskless, shoulder-to-shoulder supporters that he thinks wearing a mask is appropriate when social distancing isn't possible.

    After making the case that "lockdowns" to prevent the spread of coronavirus don't work, Trump told rallygoers in Tampa, Florida: "We know the disease. We social distance. We do all of the things that you have to do."
    "If you get close, wear a mask. 'Oh, it's controversial.' It's not controversial to me. You get close, you wear a mask. Social distance, social distance," he told the audience.

    When it rains, it pours; even newbies appear to dumping on MAGA and contradicting FLOTUS and POTUS patriotic calls on masks:


    Incoming House member says "masks are oppressive" as U.S. breaks record for daily COVID-19 cases

    Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has drawn criticism for her support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, said Friday that "masks are oppressive" during orientation for incoming representatives. Greene's comments come as over 240,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus, with the U.S. breaking another record for daily cases on Thursday.

    "Our first session of New Member Orientation covered COVID in Congress. Masks, masks, masks....I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive. In GA, we work out, shop, go to restaurants, go to work, and school without masks. My body, my choice. #FreeYourFace," Greene, who was elected to a district in northwest Georgia last week, wrote on Twitter.

    There's some questionable things about her (QAnon is a psyop) but overall I like the cut of her jib. Can she maintain her views after the swamp starts throwing freebies, goodies and cash at her? Or is she a trojan horse like many past "Tea Party 2.0" candidates? Time will tell.

    If masks are patriotic, vaccinations will become super-patriotic duty.
    While masks were off an on under regular police domain in some jurisdictions, rumor has it vaccination distribution was under command of military leaders.

    Doc who went against FLOTUS , POTUS and Trump Surgeon General's calls and bragged about not wearing masks at MAGA really had his licence revoked:

    A Doctor Who Boasted That He And His Staff Don’t Wear Masks Had His Medical License Suspended

    Dr. Steven LaTulippe's remarks at a pro-Trump rally gained attention, but patients had previously complained about his medical guidance regarding COVID-19.
    Salvador Hernandez BuzzFeed News Reporter

    December 5, 2020, at 3:05 p.m. ET

    Dr. Steven LaTulippe proclaimed to a crowd of President Trump supporters on Nov. 7 that "COVID-19 is no more" and that, throughout the coronavirus pandemic that has so far killed more than 275,000 people in the US this year, neither he nor the staff at his clinic ever wore a face mask when seeing patients.
    "I hate to tell you this. I might scare you, but I and my staff, none of us, once wore a mask in my clinic," LaTulippe told a cheering crowd protesting the presidential election results in Salem, Oregon, where attendees aired unfounded and baseless conspiracies of massive voter fraud. "I want to expose what I call 'corona-mania.'"
    On Thursday, the Oregon Medical Board suspended LaTulippe's license and ordered the family practice doctor to "stop practicing medicine until further order of the Board," calling his actions "a serious danger to the public health or safety."
    According to the order, not only have LaTulippe and his staff refused to wear masks at the South View Medical Arts clinic in Dallas, Oregon, but also, "urge persons who enter the clinic wearing masks to remove their masks."

    CDC Recommends Using Baby Diapers as PPE

    — Mask shortage calls for creative solutions


    Disclaimer: This post is from GomerBlog, a satirical site about healthcare.

    ATLANTA -- The CDC issued a statement recommending that doctors and nurses should now use baby diapers for personal protective equipment (PPE). Given the widespread national shortages of N95 respirator masks, there has been a frantic search for a widely available alternative.
    "We have been looking at a number of alternatives for the standard PPE," CDC stated. "We evaluated a variety of items such as surgical masks, Halloween masks, dental dams, and baby diapers. In our extensive 2-day study, we found that surgical masks are too porous to prevent spread of the COVID-19 virus, and Halloween masks are in too short supply at this time of year. Dental dams seemed promising initially, but when we field-tested, we found that doctors had to keep touching their faces to hold them in place."

    Louisiana police officer fatally shot over alleged mask dispute at high school basketball game


    By Danielle Wallace Fox News
    Published 21 hours ago

    A Louisiana police officer providing security at a high school basketball game in New Orleans was shot and killed following a mask-related dispute, authorities said, and a suspect was immediately taken into custody.
    Tulane University Police Officer Martinus Mitchum was shot Friday while working at George Washington Carver High School in the 3000 block of Higgins Boulevard, the New Orleans Police Department said.
    John Shallerhorn, 35, was booked early Saturday for armed robbery and first-degree murder of a policeman, Fox 8 reported, citing Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office jail records.
    After arriving at the high school Friday, Shallerhorn allegedly robbed a 39-year-old man sitting in a vehicle in the parking lot, raising his shirt to brandish a firearm and demanding the victim's medallion chain, police said.
    The victim handed the chain to Shallerhorn, who then attempted to enter the school but was stopped for not wearing a mask.

    A physical altercation ensued with a school employee, police said, before Mitchum intervened and escorted Shallerhorn out.
    Shallerhorn, as he was leaving, allegedly shot the officer twice. He then placed the firearm on the ground and was taken into custody, police said.

    Patriotism back in play in LA, h/t Drudge:

    L.A. County urges everyone to wear masks in public indoor places as delta variant spreads


    by: Associated Press, Kareen Wynter, Jennifer Gould
    Posted: Jun 28, 2021

    Health officials in Los Angeles County now strongly recommend that people wear masks indoors in public places — regardless of their vaccination status — to prevent the spread of the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus.

    The move comes two weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom reopened California and lifted the statewide mask mandate.
    The L.A. County recommendation — which is not a mandate — in the nation’s most populous county does not match what the state government and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say, which is that vaccinated people in certain public indoor settings do not need to be masked. Unvaccinated people are supposed to wear masks in public.

    The World Health Organization, however, is urging vaccinated people to wear masks as cases of the delta variant spike worldwide, which was first identified in India. Hong Kong says it will ban all passenger flights from the U.K. starting Thursday. More than 95% of COVID-19 cases in the U.K. are of the delta variant.
