Masks work. Abstinence works.

There are some similarities between the two

Yeah I guess that's true. But in an office setting where it's enforced (as it was), I'm not sure

It’s silly. People are not masking away from work
Posted by GMAW What about lunch?
|
What % of the workers and clients kept up masking today, now that the mandate is over?*
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
Hard to say. Some of our workers possibly didn't see the notice posted to Teams

The Cochrane study was pretty definitive, in my view*

if the mask don't fit you must aquit*

It sort of works if you can ensure 100% of people abide by it

I remember when saying cloth masks didn't work was a thoughtcrime. Then it became justification

Literal LOL to “a friendly face”*

And even then the data is pretty unclear*

true. i'd guess because most people don't wear them properly?*

I think that’s generous *

meanwhile, still masking at work: Google employees protesting Israel

Just curious, do you think bank robbers are also afraid of covid?*

"accusing the company of valuing its contract with the Israeli government more than its employees"

Congrats on being able to avoid looking like a woke weenie*

Are you a time traveler? What is going on here?*

There is a tea cafe in the building next to mine that is still mask-mandatory inside.
Posted by IlliniRunner

OOOO
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
I would gladly not give them my business

it's a tea cafe. Doubt there's much to crush. And I drink tea.*

Let’s put it this way

Do you have a lot of immunocompromised staff and/or clients? *

Never mind. I see below. *

Two, er, two hundred and fourteen weeks to stop the spread!*

We still haven't had the two. This fact seems to be the one you refuse to grasp.*

You had a mask mandate until today? Or a “strongly suggested”? *

Required. Now recommended by not required. I work in an office where people with developmental

Lol at the justification.*

I'm not justifying anything. I followed the rules of my employer. When our director asked

"I just follow the rules"...a good comrade you are*

"It doesn't really hurt anything". Trust me, I've created good trouble when righteous*

I didn't say you justified anything, but whether it's yours or the office, it's still LOL worthy *

There’s a fine line between “extra cautious” and “lack of logic”*
Posted by ArtVandelay
|
I’m not sure that line is fine anymore
Posted by Sounder
|
So your entire office has been wearing a mask
Posted by Sounder

I mean…I guess I get that. It’s really none of my business other than being shocked…
