Glad California cares about its citizens!!! Wish every governor did!
An effort has been to perpetuate variants of fake virus SarsCov2-Cov19, which as per US CDC, has been never isolated, means its fake. This shows how govts are fooling people on behest of big pharmas for their nefarious agendas.
leahaller551 I live in Ontario Canada. We’ve had mask mandates for an entire year. We all wear a mask. Mandates work !
Don't be that clueless doubter who decides to turn around to look back at what most everyone is running away from, the tsunami just over the horizon rushing toward us. Get vaccinated, boosted, wear a mask and go about you business safely and be kind to each other, too!
🤣🤣
Same old ineffective show theater. Lemme guess, by Friday we’ll have pictures or our governor and other idiot pols inside without masks. Bet on it.
They never stopped having to wear masks indoors 🙄
Could? It already has.
