According to Northam he will not mandate it. One of the few things he is smart to do, or not do. This was in the same article.

Will you have to wear a symbol on your arm to show you have or have not been vaccinated?

By the way, Safeway is selling off the weird hispanic toilet paper rolls that were the only available in stock during the lockdown. If you have a card, you can buy up to 10 rolls for 5 cents a roll. I don't know whether they're any good.

Congratulations! According to Google, this is the first time in recorded history that the phrase "weird hispanic toilet paper rolls" has ever appeared online, so I guess you win the Internet today!

I'm assuming this product is what one uses when you have to go to the Juan?

They revised the page after it was published.

The same happened to the Democrats' mask mandate. It was later announced that it won't be enforced according to Harris, the VP candidate.

56 people in a Seoul Starbucks were infected, while the store's employees who wore masks were spared.

There is also new information that exercising while infected can cause it to spread in the heart and cause myocarditis. Big 10 delayed its season since 15 percent of their athletes were coming down with the heart scarring. Some studies show 60 percent of the patients developed myocarditis.

Umm ... So a couple of times I have seen people shopping in full Chem-Bio Hazmat gear, helmet, booties and gloves. Okaaay, whatever.

But, today I saw someone out for a walk down my street. Outdoors. Nowhere near anybody. Dressed in full Hamzat gear head to toe. With a Santa Hat on.

I feel like I have been involuntarily relocated into the Twilight Zone.

I still see people driving by themselves with a face mask on and I can't understand what the point is.

For me, I forget to remove it. My car is white and, recently, it was filthy and just splattered with mud/salt (whatever) plus my carpets were loaded with leaves (I walk in the Reston woods); so, I went thru the car wash and waited inside until they finished with my car; then, I went to the gas station where there were other people; then, I went to the grocery store. When I drove home, I forgot to remove it.

When I was outside during the summer, the mask was more noticeable to me because of the humidity, but not so much in the winter--for me, that is.

I don't care if someone is wearing their mask while driving their car alone

I live in full suburbia and after driving to Home Depot, then the grocery Store, order takeout etc. you just say f it and leave the mask on. Just like I leave my hat on in the car.
