Last December 15, as the original Omicron wave gained serious momentum, California reinstituted a statewide indoor mask mandate. State Public Health Officer Tomás Aragón said the move was “to…

The director of public health in the state’s most populous county, Los Angeles,that she expects her county will move into the CDC’s “High” level Covid designation next week as a result of the rising numbers. If L.A. stays in that category for 14 days, the county will reimpose a mask mandate in public places.Across the state, 35 of California’s 58 counties are also so designated by the CDC. Few of them have spoken about reinstituting masking. Nor has the state.

Ugh!

If the US had a vaccine that worked, Novavax, we wouldn't be in this position. Keep telling people that this will all go away if every single American takes Pfizer. Unfortunately, the science behind that would mean, 7 Billion people would need to take the same effective Vax.

We dont care

It’s a cold
