Oakland teacher Megan Bumpus says a March survey teachers did revealed 61% of respondents felt masks should be required the rest of the school year. COVID cases have slowly but steadily ticked up across the majority of the Bay Area since mid-March due to the highly contagious omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants.

Poll: Majority Say Ending the Federal Mask Mandate Is a Good DecisionA majority of Americans say ending the federal mask mandate is a good decision, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday found. The majority of mask wearers are such big climate change supporters they toss their masks to the ground. Littering, I guess, does not hurt the Earth's climate. Imposing the Federal mask mandate was always unconstitutional. I believe an overwhelming of Americans are at their limits with Covid and were going to end it anyway. Enough is enough, because big government is not Freedom, and it is surely not a Democracy. But it is the beginning of Socialism. God Bless. 1776
