B.C. restarts temporary mask requirements for healthcare settings cheknews.ca/b-c-restarts-tempo “The B.C. government has reintroduced temporary #mask requirements for many #healthcare settings due to cold and flu season.

The #maskmandate is in effect for all #healthcareworkers, volunteers, contractors, patients and visitors in areas where people are “actively receiving care,”

Kevin Karhan :verified:

@micchiato exactly that!

The removal of #MaskMandate|s if not enacting #MaskBan|s must be deemed an act if #democide and #genocide!

@luckytran If we debated universal healthcare with the same intensity as we debated masks and mandates, it would already be a reality

#COVID19 was the #LitmusTest for #Humanity and it failed!

Personally, I'll never leave the house #unmasked for that reason alone...

Cuz whilst I personally have a record of no issues with vaccinations, the 'Rona booster knocked me out for several days and I got the second worst shivers in my life.

And whilst the worst vaccination side-effects are universally understood to be less severe than the mildest infection for the same individual, I consider it both necessary to get vaccinated AND also consider it a hatecrime by the state against #marginalized people to not only uphold #MaskMandate|s but also not enforce a #VaccinationMandate because we already made it #mandatory to have #HealthInsurance just to prevent #MedicalDebt and enshure everyone gets cared for [at least on paper]!

Several lawsuits followed, including one filed in 2020 by the #conservative Upper Midwest #Law Ctr alleging #TimWalz misinterpreted the #Minnesota Emergency Management Act & illegally bypassed state lawmakers….

The case, which focused on the #COVID #pandemic #MaskMandate, eventually made its way to the MN Supreme Court, which sent it back to the MN Court of Appeals. In July 2023, that court ruled that #Walz indeed had the authority.👏🏻

Here are several of #TimWalz's accomplishments — w/an unusual number of legislative successes scored in March 2023 alone — & setbacks during his tenure as governor.

Walz's use of #EmergencyPowers during the #pandemic — including the institution of a #MaskMandate, business #shutdowns & a #hotline number established to report people violating #SocialDistancing guidelines — outraged his critics.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

People need to buckle up and strap in for the fact that this is yet another "#MasksOff" moment, just like when they decided to be democidal assholes and not even follow a simple #MaskMandate...

First time in the NYC subway during rush hour in a long time and about half the passengers in my car are masked. #MaskMandate #nyc

@downey @phpledge maybe make it #FOSDEM (a tag) so people following it read it and think about it? I didn't go either for the same reason (prospects of #covid #COVID19 or just the "fosdem #flu"), and many of the people I usually meet there neither. I really wish there would be a #MaskMandate next year...

@publicvoit boosted it for extended range, since I did not attend #37C3 in part due to lack of a #MaskMandate!

WA #maskmandate announced:
SURGICAL masks to be worn in all "high risk" areas.

I'm an old nurse. Someone, please make it make sense.

#COVID19 #WearaN95mask

@CCC I did consider something for release on #37C3 but since #CovidIsNotOver and you don't seem willing to do the absolute minimum aka. #KeepMasksOn and have a #MaskMandate, that'll be a big nope.

Which is really sad indeed...
