Can't they just mix the `Rona cure in with the chemtrail fluid and disperse it that way?

My company just issued new mask strictures, apparently cowtowing to the Great Uniter, Uncle Joe.

It appears, but it's confirmed yet, that we're supposed to wear masks at ALL times when we're in the building, unless we're in our "office." No definition as to what that is. Are our cubicles, that already have distancing protocols built in, "assigned offices?"

No clarification so far, but as I look out over the area of cubicles about half the size of a football field, there are ZERO other people in here with me.

Mask is off, and it's staying off.

When I need to go in, which isn’t often, I just keep a mug of tea in front of me.  If a mask nazi hassles me I just say it was off while I was drinking the tea.  Given where my cube is located, and the paucity of people in that area, the risk is small but non-zero.

My company requires masks for visitors and vendors, and for employees working with clients, but not generally for employees.  This is technically in compliance with the orders from the county we are in.  More or less.

A couple employees choose to wear the masks all the time, and a handful wear them every once in a while.  Most don't wear them at all.  I have one hanging by my desk should I need it, but that is rare.

I do wear a mask when I go to stores and so forth, but at least I don't have to worry about it at work.

As I'm sitting here I've seen multiple moving about the building without masks.

Those bastards are trying to kill us all!

Three months ago the local teachers were all over Facebook and the news with “going back to in school learning will be the death of us all”

Now a week after the election the school districts have declared that “students are safer at school than at home from COVID”. I’m sure safer from being indoctrinated with the truth instead of Approved Government Nonsense is no small factor...

Also while Jews are being arrested in NYC for gathering in their own homes, the ginormous Biden parties are all okie doke.

Because those Jews are all disease carriers and should carry a mark. Biden supporters have the super immunity gene.

Related, I heard on the news this morning that there is talk of, once the vaccine is wildly available, require us to carry papers providing proof of vaccination for public transport like airlines. It was just a TV snippet, so I don't know how valid it is, but in today's environment, it would not surprise me.  Icould even see them wanting to apply it well beyond public transport. "Want to eat in our restaurant? Show us your COVID card."

Papers please.

You can be anything you want nowadays. Probably will even be separate restrooms for jelly donuts soon.

What, are you implying jelly donuts should be ashamed of their bodies?

At least they're not cream filled

You missed the "nicht." That should be "You are not a jelly donut."

Papers please.

I think you mean "Deine Papiere, Jude!"  shouted at the top of your lungs.

No more 'medical mask exemptions' at Costco:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2020/11/12/costco-face-masks-policy-shields-medical-conditions-change-coronavirus/6263114002/

Ha! More masks will definitely end this plague!

I've seen a few people wearing these incredibly ridiculous shields.   I find it ludicrous anyone would believe they would have any effect on stopping THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN -----ooooops,  I mean covid19 at all.

You realize a lot of people don't care if they work, right? They just don't want to be hassled.

Just gotta poke some air holes and voila, Costco compliant face shield.

Malicious compliance is best compliance.

Starting next Monday, my local healthcare system is mandating all employees to wear a mask and face shield in all patient care and public areas of the facility.

I've seen some "interesting" mask use by healthcare professionals in the last several month.
At my Doctor's office Tuesday for my annual physical everyone behind the glass check-in window was wearing a mask. 3 of the 5 had them below the nose and one of those had it on her chin. The Dr and the nurse that saw me were wearing what looked like some kind of duckbill mask.

When I had my shoulder surgery last month while I was in the prep and recovery area I saw a variety of mask usage from probably proper wear to hanging off one ear. I had to wear a paper mask while prepping for surgery. When they did the nerve block on my shoulder I was pretty doped up and must have fallen asleep. When I woke up from my nap I had an oxygen mask strapped to my face because my O2 levels had dropped too low, probably from wearing the stupid mask.

When I spent 3 days in the hospital in August for the gallbladder surgery the 1st nurse (nurse's aide?) was wearing a 3M respirator and a flip down face shield with full paper gown and shoe covers every time she came in the room, the rest of the nurses  and nurse's aides wore regular paper masks and the usual scrubs.

Oh sure.   I'm one of them.

A guy I know has a plastic face shield that clips onto the bridge of the nose with a strip of adhesive.
