California's governor responded, "Look, this is the most critical moment in this pandemic. If we want to quickly open our schools, quickly open our businesses, we've got to be mindful. We gotta hold on, we can still make modifications, we can get our kids back in school, we can start reopening businesses.

But mask wearing is foundational in order to safely do that and get our economy roaring again."

It seems knowing more surges will be knocking at our doors. How many more thousands must die before all in America realize how important mandated health care is?

Newsom is a damn fool liberal who will punish people for the sake of the democrat party and it's control fetish. He's lied and failed to follow his own mandates.

Young adults in park wearing masks

The state of Colorado is providing free KN95 and surgical masks for members of the public at certain locations throughout the state.

Learn more about where to find free masks

Mask-wearing and vaccination are the two most important tools Coloradans can use to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As Colorado faces a surge of the omicron variant, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommends wearing a mask around others even if you are vaccinated against COVID-19.

Wearing a mask is especially important if you are not fully up to date with your vaccinations.

While vaccination greatly reduces the chances of getting very sick, needing to be hospitalized, or dying from COVID-19, vaccinated people still can catch and spread the virus. Wearing a mask even after vaccination helps protect you and other people from COVID-19.

In some specific places, state law requires people to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep others safe. Learn more about where masks are required by state law.

Federal law requires everyone age 2 and older to wear masks on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States. Masks are also required in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and train stations.

Everyone has to wear a mask while using public transportation, regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated.

Some counties in Colorado may require people to wear masks in indoor public places.

You can contact your local public health agency for more information about whether masks are required in your area. Some businesses may also require masks.

CDPHE encourages all Coloradans to keep masks with them in public and wear them when asked.

I have no idea from whence you are quoting Governor Newsom. Our mask mandates are being lifted.

L.A. County, one of the most populated areas in the entire country, has been moved to medium.
So your hissy fit about California amounts to bullshit, and I wager our area is doing better than yours.

That doesn't justify everyone else ignoring safety, unless you think like a nine year old.
If Newsom wants to be an idiot, his choice.

Mostly because most people in CA aren't being idiots anymore.

They WERE for a while but the dust is settling and more people are getting their shots finally.

I think he's smart. This should be slow, not only in case a new variant springs up, but to ease people back into life and make sure it's not just the calm between storms.

My governor just stocks up on body bags.....

If he is not willing to follow the laws he has no right to create them.

Bullshit. An imperfect or incompetent leader is not an excuse to discredit solid public health policy, even if it was initiated BY said leader.
Governor Newsom isn't an epidemiologist, he simply implements policy BASED on the thinking OF competent people in the medical science fields.
By your logic, the Peter Principle is what guides YOUR thinking, you're actively encouraging it.

Richard Nixon is judged incompetent by many but he created the Environmental Protection Agency which, at least until lobbyist funded regulatory capture, did
a lot of good work to promote good stewardship of the planet's resources and programs to improve air and water quality and safety.
Shall we erase everything EPA ever did because Nixon did some wrong things in his terms as President?

Of the forty or so surviving Branch Davidians, the majority STILL think David Koresh was God on Earth and that
there was nothing wrong with him having sex with eleven year old girls.
Yes, that's how mentally deranged cultists can be.

And yet it's Gruesome Newsom who has at least ONCE violated his own fracking mask mandates.

It's a reason to get that leader out of power and it's a reason not to praise them for their "great" policy

Newsom is and elitist and a moron and if you follow him you end up the same

Richard Nixon is judged incompetent by many but he created the Environmental Protection Agency which, at least until lobbyist funded regulatory capture, did
a lot of good work to promote good stewardship of the planet's resources and programs to improve air and water quality and safety.

Did Nixon also personally do things that destroy the air and water?


Shall we erase everything EPA ever did because Nixon did some wrong things in his terms as President?

If Nixon was personally dumping waste in our water, then I wouldn't go around making the moronic claim that he has the right attitude towards the environment

We could invent a fun drinking game; everyone takes a drink every time Newsom says "this is the most critic moment in the pandemic". :cool:

So you equally support the COVID 19 and Variant spreaders who choose to spread instead of wearing a mask?

Yes it is that simple to wear a mask in the interest of all which is why I don't get the resistance. Killing oneself is not the same as killing others in the name of liberty.

Of course I will be wearing a mask forever if necessary.

I support everyone making the choice to protect themselves as they feel is best.

Melodrama at it’s finest

Good for you that is your choice to make no one should prevent you from making a choice in how you wish to continue
