Big Blitz Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Bringing back mask mandate is a good idea’: doctor on Delta variant Why COVID-19 Mask Mandates May Be Coming Back Soon ....One supporter of that mask-on stance is University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix's Dr. Shad Marvasti, who told Yahoo Finance Live, "We don't want to wait until after the fact and get caught with this thing already ahead of us when we know that masks work. To put this in context, the Alpha variant, which originated out of the UK, was about 50% more infectious and transmissible. The Delta variant is 60% more infectious than that." And in Los Angeles County, which was recently a part of the California reopening which allowed fully vaccinated individuals to ditch masks indoors, their Department of Health is now asking all residents, vaccinated or not, to keep their masks on inside (from The Los Angeles Times). And we know that mask wearing does decrease the spread of Covid-19, which, then lowers the rate of hospitalizations and death. A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association comparing mask mandates in Kansas counties confirmed that counties with mask mandates had lower COVID-19 cases compared to those counties without mask mandates. https://www.thelist.com/449752/why-covid-19-mask-mandates-may-be-coming-back-soon/?zsource=smartnews 1

B-Man Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Here we go. American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten is keeping an eye on the global response to the delta variant of COVID-19 and noting that the nation, as well as workers, need to be prepared to adapt. The nation has adapted & done their jobs for the last 1.5 yrs while unions pushed back at the slightest suggestion that they should adapt or assume any risk.

John Adams Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 13 hours ago, Doc Brown said: You seem to be ignoring the data that just .08% of the Covid deaths in the US in May were among those fully vaccinated and that the most widely used vaccine in the UK is the Astrozenaca one which is inferior to Pfizer and Moderna when it comes to protecting against variants. I wish everyone got the vaccine. Society still should do everything they can to get the movable middle to get vaccinated (preferably with the mRNA vaccines given their effectiveness against variants so far). It's not necessary just looking at the data to force vaccinations at this point in the US. Im not ignoring the US. New cases in the US are only 20% this variant so far. In the Uk it’s most of them. We’re just behind. I don’t think we are in disagreement but maybe I’m wrong. I’m saying that it appears this variant is breaking through the vax especially for older people and thus by choosing not to get the shot, people are not just hurting themselves and others who chose not to be vaccinated. They hurt immune suppressed, older—and obviously anyone unvaccinated. They break the herd.

The one Nancy had us wasting critical time on while the Administration could’ve been preparing for a pandemic? That phone call?

I’ve heard good things about Prager U. If you want your child to attend public school, they’ll first have to be vaccinated.
