Happy Monday, DC residents. It’s a good Monday. It’s a terrific Monday for those who are fully vaccinated. You can take your mask off. It’s over. The mandate is done. Mayor Muriel Bowser finally decided to really do it, stating as of today—the mask regime is over (via WaPo):
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said she is lifting the mask mandate in the city as of Monday, bringing the city in line with other jurisdictions in the region that already lifted their mandates.
Bowser said fully vaccinated people only need to wear a mask or social distance in places where it is required — including public transportation, schools and child-care facilities, health-care settings, homeless shelters and correctional facilities. The governors of Virginia and Maryland lifted the masking mandate in their states last week.
Bowser said those who are not fully vaccinated — meaning two weeks have elapsed since their final dose of vaccine — should continue to wear masks.
[…]
The shift, which is expected to be approved by the county council during its meeting on Tuesday, was triggered because 60 percent of residents have received at least one shot of the coronavirus vaccine.
Now, there’s a catch. Bowser tried to roll back the mask mandate in early May and backtracked. We’ll see if this deep-blue bastion abides by the science or not. It just tickles me how in March the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned about “impending doom,” only to roll back key provisions when their noble lie about COVID blew up in their faces. Texas has been open for weeks. No spike has occurred. Florida is not a graveyard. This virus has a survivability rate of 90+ percent. This theater production by the panic peddlers was never going to last as long as they wanted, especially when it comes to this atrocious COVID passport idea. Costco, Starbucks, Walmart, and other locations are ditching their mask mandates. In Virginia, it’s virtually been nixed for the vaccinated, with indoor capacity caps and social distancing guidelines being scrapped by May 28.
Capitol, no--at least not Queen NanZi's chamber.
Is Muriel Bowser MR. DONNA BRAZILE or is Donna Brazile MR. BOWSER???? Which is it??
Are the segregated water fountains installed for us lepers yet?
Starbucks and Target brought their MASK MANDATES BACK because of KARENS COMPLAINTS!
Eff her! She needs to be repeatedly slapped upside the head...(after she has her face stuck in dough, of course)
Apparently they’re not married. But I didn’t know they were an item, either. More and more disgusting. .
Segregated water fountains, bump
Do you frequent the former?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that..
Threw up on that one. TMI. YEWWWWWWWWWWWW! 😫
I wonder when Navy Federal Credit Union will loosen up. They have been twice as woke and restrictive as Costco ever was.
If Trump wanted the masks off these people would still be wearing them next thanksgiving...
Yeah...WTF. They’re both repugnant libtards. Now I find out that they’re lesbian lovers. The incestuous DC/ media swamp gets even murkier.
Yuck. Wouldn’t buy a pup from THAT litter, LOL! ;)
For safety sake all water fountains should be mandated to only dispense Captain Morgan rum.
