CDC: Fishing crews must still wear masks
Must Read Alaska ^ | 5/31/21 | SUZANNE DOWNING

Posted on 05/31/2021 2:12:18 PM PDT by conservative98

In spite of pleas from Sen. Lisa Murkowski and others, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Coast Guard still say that fishing personnel must wear masks aboard boats.

For many Alaska fishermen, having a mask over their nose and mouth during fishing operations is akin to being waterboarded, as wet, slimy masks are difficult to breathe through, create visual barriers, and prevent communication.

[CUT]

National Fisherman provided its readers with a list of activities in which wearing a mask would create a safety hazard for onboard workers:

They will assure the authorities they wore masks at all times. Once they clear harbor the masks go overboard.

The CDC HAS ZERO authority to make anything a mandate.

You all bought into a lie.

As a navy vet all I can say is that finally the Coast Guard has something to do. - trolling waters and enforcing mask mandates.

It’s ok, I got my flame proof face shield on.

“Let’s see them enforce it, matey.”


It most certainly WILL be enforced.

Many commercial fishing vessels today are required to carry at their expense a government Political Officer aka an Observer.

Have no doubt that they will enforce it.

Did you think that having a Political Officer onboard was only in the Soviet navy?

They also have tried to force them to install live video cameras onboard.

Isn’t being onboard a fishing boat out on the ocean pretty much the penultimate definition of being outside?

I'm guessing you meant to say ultimate rather than penultimate. And, yes, it is. The people at the CDC are nuts.

At this point, I’m in favor of disbanding the CDC in its entirety.

(Along with the FIB, ATF, EPA...).

I agree...there ought not be any CDC at all...it is not legitimate no matter what. The CDC needs to be completely reformed with an entirely new staff.

The FBI is a laughing stock for the most part. So...

Here’s what they are facing:

The most recent Coast Guard bulletin states: “Operators of vessels and sea ports that fail to implement [the mask wearing order] may be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Vessels that have not implemented the mask requirement may be issued a Captain of the Port order directing the vessel’s movement and operations; repeated failure to impose the mask mandate could result in civil and/or criminal enforcement action. Additionally, after taking into account operational considerations, the COTP may issue orders prohibiting vessels from mooring at a sea port that fails to implement the CDC guidelines or refer non-compliance with CDC’s guidelines for further civil or criminal enforcement action.”

This ranks up there with some of the stupidest crap I’ve ever heard. Well, at least in the ranking of the stupidest crap ever anyway.

Present the peer-reviewed science to prove the cause for this decision. This cannot be the new “default”.

LOL,

I had some fool try to tell me how I was reckless and irresponsible because I went to Destin during the Pandemic.

I asked him repeatedly: Is it because of the large separation between the folks? Fresh air that isn’t recirculated like in buildings? The UV light which kills the virus? The sand which is a horrible surface for the virus to live in? The higher temperatures that destroy the virus more rapidly? Or the salt water which kills the virus on contact?

He never replied, but he continued to have very strong feelings about this... I’m sure all based on “SCIENCE!”
