It seems corporations are recommending or demanding their employees wear masks once again. Why? Are we really going to do this again over a common cold?

Individuals want to wear them on their own, fine.

Anyone that requires them should be shot.

Dems are ugly. Masks cover their ugly mugs. Dems love masks.

I travel non stop for work and its obvious what cities/states are the sheep...

Yesterday, actually had a woman up until 1 min before boarding standing around, chatting in line with numerous people around without a mask, then pull one out and put one on before walking on plane

Went into a Trader Joe’s yesterday. More masks in there than anywhere else I’ve been in DFW for a long time.

I forgot TJs is a magnet for liberal women.

I see it more and more again in North Fulton (ATL). Pretty specific groups of people, of course.

Minorities. Check.
White women with horn rimmed glasses. Check.
White men with urban lumberjack beards. Check.

Only the misinformed and the idiots of this country believe that mask are saving their lives.

I was told by my doctor that masks don't work and have not worn one since.

Hopefully it's just people with typical colds being courteous but it's more likely to be some new virtue signal

I’ve noticed more people at work starting to mask up again. And I’ve seen a few “Covid” leave requests come across my desk as well.

I suspect the former is because of people being morons and reacting to every little sniffle as “oh my god! It’s Covid!!!”

The latter is people gaming the system at increased rates because it’s crunch time at work and we’re all having to work a little harder. The only way you’re getting off of work the next five weeks is if you claim to have Covid.

The combination of the two might lead the west coast based company I work for to require masks again. They were Nazis about it last time and will be the same way again this time. And they made it hell on the few of us who refused to get the shot … but I survived their idiocy for almost two years before, I’ll make it this time too.

Flu and RSV are hitting my area hard right now. There actually is a better case for masking to prevent flu spread (still stupid) in certain situations.

But my gut tells me it's mostly virtue signal BS.

It’s actually against the law to wear a mask in public in Louisiana.

A while back i was arguing with some idiot on the O-T about this. He stated he would wear masks and get as many injections so he wouldn't get the common cold.

It's a cult. Covid is a cult worshipped by Democrats and the left.

Mask doesn't bother me it's companies still trying to be sneaky and have vacinne mandates. That blows my minds

That is how you spot the loyal democrat! They got a mask on. Get on a Southwest Plane from New Orleans to ATL! and Back! Half the plane will be masked (and Pre Boarders)

I'm seeing a slow up-tic in maskers in the area lately. I'm certain it's not a pure COVID knee jerk, but it's odd.

Black folks haven't stopped wearing them in Louisville at all it seems - alone in cars, outdoors walking (literally), at outdoor sporting events, in malls, walking into homes for thanksgiving...Tuskegee effect.
