New York’s governor, Governor Kathy Hochul, announced the requirement for facemasks to be worn in all indoor public places. However, if these places impose a vaccine requirement, they may be exempted. This mask mandate will be in place from December 13, 2021, to January 15, 2022, pending reevaluation.
From Fox News:
“As governor, my two top priorities are to protect the health of New Yorkers and to protect the health of our economy,” Hochul, a Democrat, said in a news release. “The temporary measures I am taking today will help accomplish this through the holiday season.”
Several states already have mask mandates, including New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii.
New York recorded more than 68,000 positive tests for the virus in the seven-day period that ended Dec. 8. That’s the most in any seven-day stretch since the start of February.
“I have warned for weeks that additional steps could be necessary, and now we are at that point based upon three metrics: Increasing cases, reduced hospital capacity, and insufficient vaccination rates in certain areas,” Hochul said.

“Increasing cases, reduced hospital capacity, and insufficient vaccination rates…” Here’s some novel ideas; How about a big Ol’ (BEAT) Navy Ship with an (GO) Army of health care professionals parked at a dock to handle the overload of patients? Or maybe, do like a few of your neighboring states did and park all of the Bat Flu patients in a nursing home? Moving relatives of politicians out would make more room.
FFS…People Control.
The air molecules around me, I have them identify as a mask SO, it’s my own personal forcefield.
I’m thinking of getting this…the “new” mesh mask.

The only places I have to wear a mask are the doctors offices.

This is being done to protect us in the social elite and Commissariat, against those of you ANTI-VAXXERS that refuse to TAKE THE JAB!
WE ARE YOUR BETTERS! OBEY US AND TAKE THE JAB! WE HAVE “THE SCIENCE” AND “EMPIRICAL DATA” THAT ARE OUR BIBLE AND TALISMAN IN THIS EFFORT TO CONTROL YOU SO OUR CHINESE COMMUNIST OVERLORDS TAKE OVER AND LEAD UP TO A TRUE SOCIALIST PARADISE!
TAKE. THE. JAB.
Saw an article today saying the majority of newest cases are Omicron… and mild.
At last, there’s a vaccine for the common cold?
I live in Nevada and i have worn a mask inside exactly once and no one has said shit.
Casinos were getting stupid last week, at least towards cowboys during the National Finals Rodeo with the mask crap.
She’ll enforce this ridiculous overreach, how?
Omnipresent police and informants, of course, comrade! Why do you ask? (Right, Lars? For “social justice,” you know… )
She can take her dictatorial demand and stuff it straight up her Wide World of Sports for all I care, it’s all about having control and nothing else, anybody else notice lately that the States with the least mandates have the lowest spread of the China virus?
