San Francisco Runners Made to Mask While Their Mayor’s ‘Spirit’ Parties Maskless

 

Charlie aptly took San Francisco mayor London Breed to task for her mask-mandate hypocrisy. Caught maskless in a nightclub last Thursday without a mask on, Breed responded to critics who claimed she had violated the city’s own indoor-mask mandate for such settings by saying “we don’t need the fun police to come in and micromanage and tell us what we should or shouldn’t be doing.” That would be defensible — if she were not, at the same time, continuing to enforce and promote San Francisco’s indoor-mask mandate for such settings. If this is how Breed feels, then there’s no reason to maintain such an order, and she should work to undo it.

 

Breed added that she was caught up in the “spirit” of her evening out and “wasn’t thinking about a mask.” Over this past weekend, several thousand other people in the city participated in an activity it’s also easy to get caught up in the spirit of (as I can personally attest😞 running. They had assembled for the San Francisco Marathon. But thanks to August regulations issued by the National Park Service, mask-wearing was mandated for large portions of the course:

Actually Israel is one of the most vaccinated countries and they have a higher rate of covid than nations that are less vaccinated.

COVID cases are rising in highly vaccinated Israel. But it doesn’t mean Australia should give up and ‘live with’ the virus

In Israel, 60% of hospitalised cases are vaccinated. This is something called the “paradox of vaccination” — in highly vaccinated populations, most cases will be in the vaccinated because no vaccine is 100% protective.

However, the rate of serious cases in Israel is double for unvaccinated under-60s and nine times higher for unvaccinated over-60s, so vaccines remain highly protective against severe outcomes.

COVID free again.  I haven't been feeling very well the past couple of days, sore throat, a low fever last night and a headache too, plus exhaustion. Last night was particularly bad so I went to get tested. Not COVID, and not strep either, but the doctor said I definitely have some virus affecting me as I have inflammation in my throat and nostrils, and slightly swollen tonsils. The doctor also said that now that people are mixing more, non-COVID viruses are back out there getting passed around. I am pretty sure I picked this up at an outdoor party on Saturday -- only about 10 or 12 people there, but 5 of them were under the age of 6 and I am pretty sure 4 of those are at school, either in kindergarten or TK. I was apparently fascinating to the little ones who climbed all over me like I was a tree, demanding hugs and to look at pictures on my phone. Upshot is -- stay at home for a couple days, rest, fluids, healthy eating.

Yeahhhhh, being around five little kids for four hours pretty much cemented my decision not to have kids of my own.  Small doses is fine.

Disappointed you didn't include data about using horse medicine in Israel, inquiring minds need to know.

True, but facts are irrelevant here, in case you forgot.
