We are more vulnerable bc we have dopey woke dems in charge..way nicer over the bridge in Seal where they send all their homeless over the bridge to us?it sucks.
No... only some of your posts.
So who owns CNN?.... ;D ;D >
"Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There's no place for them in light of Omicron," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, on CNN Newsroom Tuesday.

Currently ATT owns CNN. Also, there are reports that ATT has been crucial source of funds going into AON.

Masks are garbage...literally.
Oxford Professor: Official Data Shows Face Masks ?Made No Meaningful Difference? to Infection Rates
University of Oxford Professor Jim Naismith asserts that despite England dropping its mask mandate in July and Scotland keeping its rules in force, official data shows this ?has made no meaningful difference? to infection rates.
Naismith goes on to argue that new face mask mandates imposed in England today are ?unlikely to have much of an impact? in fighting off the spread of the Omicron variant.
Despite flatlining case numbers and declining deaths, partly achieved because England chose to lift lockdown restrictions in the summer unlike many European countries, mask mandates are once again back in force.
Face coverings are compulsory in shops, on public transport and numerous other venues arbitrarily chosen by the government.
Highlighting the absurdity of the rules, face masks are mandatory in takeaways but not restaurants, meaning you have to wear one if picking up a takeaway but not if you stay inside the restaurant for a sit down meal.
According to Naismith, Director of the Rosalind Franklin Institute and Professor of Structural Biology at the University of Oxford, masks are largely pointless.
?The ONS survey results on prevalence shows that the Scottish and English approach to masking, although formally different since July, has made no meaningful difference to Delta,? writes Naismith.
?In both countries very high levels of prevalence have continued for months. Thus the new changes announced are unlikely to have much of an impact if Omicron does indeed spread rapidly,? he added.

The article does not analyze other factors that may contribute to similar rates of infection between England (no mandate) and Scotland (mask mandated). For instance, differences in vaccination rates, age, health status etc... Unless you control for these variables, you can't make a meaningful conclusion on the effectiveness of masks.
Beginning Wednesday, all Orange County residents will again have to wear masks when going to indoor public places as the Omicron COVID-19 variant is raising concerns from public health experts, with some saying it will fuel a winter surge.

Why Cloth Masks Might Not Be Enough as Omicron Spreads
With the new Covid-19 variant surging, doctors advise doubling up or trying N95 masks
Doctors and healthcare systems say it might be time to change your face masks.
With infections surging due to the fast-spreading Omicron variant, including among the vaccinated, physicians are now urging people to ditch cloth face masks, which they say may not provide enough protection against the virus. Instead, they recommend pairing cloth masks with surgical models or moving on to stronger respirator masks.

Doesn?t matter what the policy is, 1/3rd doesn?t follow it anyway.
Personally I?m in favor of mask mandates. It quickly lets me identify people taking the most risks when I walk-in into an establishment.

Well, moretroll didn't mislead on the cloth masks. They are less efficient than the other masks. They probably weren't enough for Delta, let alone Omicron.

Less efficient... yes... useless... no... something is better than nothing.
