Mask mandates return for health care facilities in deep blue state
Health care workers in several Bay Area counties must wear masks indoors during flu and cold season

Mask mandates are returning for a limited time during cold and flu season in the heart of deep-blue California's San Francisco Bay Area.

With winter fast approaching, several Bay Area counties have recently issued health orders requiring that face makes be worn in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other health care settings beginning on Nov. 1 and extending through either March 31 or April 30, 2025, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The new mandates were put into effect to prevent the spread of the flu, COVID and other seasonal illnesses. The requirements only apply to health care workers except in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, which also require visitors to put on masks. Santa Clara is also requiring that patients mask up, according to the outlet.

Localities that have issued health orders include Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Napa counties.

Health care facilities that must abide by the orders include hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, dialysis centers and infusion centers.

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.

Stupidity.  Nothing like breathing in someone else's germs that attach themselves to your mask.

Nothing like having a moist, warm cloth a half inch from your nose and mouth to incubate anything that appears there.

Don’t be stupid: Skipping your COVID booster could reduce your IQ

Using data from more than 100,000 people who completed online tests in England, the authors of a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine found that those recovering from COVID, including those with only mild symptoms, had measurable cognitive deficits. Even participants who had “mild COVID-19 with resolved symptoms” exhibited deficits “commensurate with a 3-point loss in IQ” compared with uninfected participants.

The cognitive loss was more pronounced in those who experienced more severe infections. Participants who had long COVID — that is, with symptoms that lasted more than 12 weeks — had the equivalent of a 6-point IQ loss on average, and those who had been “admitted to the intensive care unit had the equivalent of a 9-point loss.”

I have a feeling any future shaming of folks into masking up, might end up fisticups.
