Whereas! Who cares anymore. I saw Bernie Sanders on TV wearing a mask, I guess that is gonna be part of some folks wardrobe from now on! Old, ugly, don’t have to shave or brush your teeth, harder for people to smell your stinky breath. Don’t have to put on a Happy face when you aren’t feeling it, your friends don’t recognize you, people can’t understand what you are saying.
Yep. Part of the permanent public wardrobe. You don’t have to talk to people you don’t want to in the store. Helps block a little bit of the stinky overdone perfume and cologne some wear. People you don’t like have a harder time recognizing you. Men don’t tell you to smile. You can mouth and whisper obscenities and curses at idiots and they don’t know. The far far right think you are either contagious or far far left and they stay far far away.
Ah, people still wearing masks! Just like those idiots with the “Choose Freedom not Fear” signs still in their yards !
So by your criteria you should be wearing a mask until your good lord calls you home, eh?
Who knew it was still on? This grandiose announcement about an “emergency” no one has paid attention to for over a year proves how pompous and out of touch these charlatans really are.
Your complaining that the County wasn’t heavy handed even though they had to follow state orders? That they are ending the emergency order the first second they can?
Give you what you want and you whine. You’d argue if the boss let you go home early on Friday and everyone else followed them out the door.
As usual, only vaguely connected to reality. People sticking their heads in the sand to ignore something does not mean it wasn’t there.
In the last two weeks we have visited 2 doctors and one hospital for tests, blood draws ect, and one 4 months ago in Reno and Carson City.. At no time were masks required for staff or patients. You have to agree with what Vaguely says.
Original declaration said nothing about masks.

So?
Nevada. Not California, BoobK
Wow! That was really an adult comeback. Are you going to criticize my spelling next.
… a 3rd grader in our midst.
I apologize for hurting your feelings. But, it is important to know that Reno and Carson City are in Nevada, not California; the notice is specific to California, so your comparison holds no meaning for those of us living in California. None of us have to agree with what “Vaguely” says, “Vaguely’s” statement is hyperbole: “no one has paid attention to for over a year” – I certainly know this is untrue, though I can’t speak for anyone else reading this. I could ask a 3rd grader to correct your spelling, she would probably point out your error in using “ect” but I would suggest that was just a typo. She would then probably call you a “snowflake” and I would suggest to her “that’s not nice.”
Vaguely….
Your saying “no one has paid attention to for over a year”..
But, actually for some, NEVER paid attention to from March 2020, when COVID first started..
But them only following their “leader” and king and his marching orders, who can forget the “COVID will be gone in a week” speech broadcast live on fox news..
And the MAGA’ers were fool enough to believe, listen to and obey…following his orders..
