Covid cases are on the rise, yet few precautions have come back. Why?
As the BA.2 subvariant spreads, Philadelphia is the only major U.S. city reinstating its indoor mask mandate.

April 13, 2022, 3:24 PM CDT
By Elizabeth Chuck

When Philadelphia’s health commissioner announced this week that the city’s indoor mask mandate would be reinstated as Covid-19 cases there rise, something unusual happened: Not a single other major U.S. city followed suit.

Throughout the pandemic, local, state and federal precautions have followed a predictable pattern. As key Covid indicators, such as infections, hospitalizations and deaths, have gone up, so has the number of officials who have required masks, proof of vaccination or other measures to slow the rate of transmission of the coronavirus.

Now, as the more contagious BA.2 subvariant of the omicron strain spreads, it’s business as usual for much of the country. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended the federal transit mask mandate Wednesday and a handful of universities have brought back mask requirements, other restrictions remain relaxed.

Covid will not be mocked.  Mask it or casket.

Because the Great Con has failed.  More and more people are realizing that they won't be buffaloed into giving up their freedoms for the common flu.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Because the comeback, in spite of triple jabs, masks and other theatrics, is going to happen regardless.

The 'rona is here to stay, and doing all that stuff of questionable efficacy again won't change that.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Because the only precaution that is being offered is to get the jab.  And the people getting Covid now have already been jabbed.  So there's really nothing to say.

Only not even as bad as the flu, and less virulent with every successive variant.

Neither am I.  No masks, either.  I haven't worn a mask on the LIRR for more than a year now; and I'm cautiously happy because lately I've been seeing more and more other riders not wearing them, either, despite the repeated "reminders" on the P.A. system.
