Right. So APS isn’t getting rid of masks after Youngkin’s inauguration. Or testing. Or quarantines.

He won’t mandate mask optional with high #s. If he even can at all - has that worked in other states? I thought bans on mask mandates were struck down?

He won't?  Have masks ever worked with "high numbers"?  Or was it just that people didn't mask hard enough?

There will be cases the rest of our lives, including high cases over the next several years.  You're saying kids need to mask in school for years to come!  Lunatics!  Please keep it up though so people know your true intentions.

Bans on mask mandates have now been upheld at the federal appellate level, from Florida to Texas to other places (reversing lower courts).  The district court level is where some have been struck down by partisan judges.  And we'll have state funding battles with the new legislative session if school districts want to hold out, as successfully happened in Florida.

Come January 15th, many school districts throughout VA will be going mask optional immediately (Chesapeake, the 6th largest district, said they're doing so on January 3rd).  Also, private schools throughout VA and NOVA will be doing it on January 15th as well.  And we already know from other places that had mask optional schools, it hasn't made any difference - good luck with the political pressure when all of that occurs, you child-maskers.[/quote]

Sit TF down, hysterical cow.

Yes, masks work. Yes, masks will eventually come off when community spread drops.

We are still *in* a pandemic - it’s not endemic yet. There is a very transmissible variant about to hit like a freight train. [b]After it burns out - hopefully quickly - let’s talk about next steps[/b]. It’s a constantly evolving situation so blanket bans on masks, testing, or quarantines will only hurt us in the long run.

You realize that the Spanish flu is still circulating today. In fact, it's the precursor to all of the H1N1 variant strains we encounter year after year.

There will never not be a new variant. The only "next step" necessary is to admit that fact and stop pretending like non-pharmaceutical interventions are going to make any difference. They won't. [/quote]
