Washington State: Face Masks Mandatory in ALL Public Spaces Starting Friday
- Thread starter ZW33
- Start date
King County has seen a mostly steady decline, with a couple of recent spikes, in terms of cases. But Yakima County has exploded with cases in the past few weeks, and reports indicate that some of those may be getting bused to Seattle hospitals due to overflow. Like, if you look at the statewide stats, they're mostly going down, and that drop is even more severe in the "everywhere but Yakima" sense.
I'm happy that my Greenwood neighborhood has some wide sidestreets for the sake of walks and jogs. But now that Phase 2 is kicking into gear, the fucking idiots are mounting in numbers, in terms of 1) not wearing masks and 2) not being careful about six feet of distance on sidewalks. As a result, I walk in the street on a regular basis when I patronize nearby restaurants that serve take-out. Not ideal.

If you ever come up to Greenwood, you have GOT to order from Luna Azul. Amazing sauces, and they have a really solid takeout window rigged up. Their housemade corn tortillas are the bomb dot com.
We should have made it a nationwide mandate from the start if we were going to beat this thing. Now states are implementing it when we're already in the gutter.
It starts tomorrow here in Oregon, but only for seven counties. Some of the other counties seem to have their act together.
I was at the pharmacy today getting stuff for my cat, and the pharmacist was wearing his mask off his nose; just covering his mouth. Having mandated face masks will help only if people wear them properly.

Yeah I heard Yakima was one of the hardest hit areas. I'm not that far from it (Grant County) but mine hasn't really been hit yet.
They won't enforce this for shit. The city already decided a long time ago that they're just going to complete ignore the homeless, you think they're going to suddenly swerve on that because they aren't wearing masks? At best it will give police an excuse to harass minorities and otherwise be ignored.
Glad we're doing this - though from what I've seen, people have been pretty good about wearing masks... at least in Bartel's, QFC, and PCC.
Also worth noting: "You do not need to wear one when you are outdoors and people are far apart"

COVID-19
We now know that COVID-19 is here to stay for the foreseeable future. It’s important to understand how to live our lives while keeping ourselves, loved ones and community as safe as possible. How can we do that? By using all the tools we’ve learned so far: staying up to date with COVID-19...

I'm in Bellevue and I barely see anyone with masks. I also barely see anyone out, but still, it's shocking how little masks are worn.
I live and walk by there all the time but never bothered trying it. I'll check it out!
Like our shithead sheriff in Snohomish? Who did exactly that about the quarantine? I didn't vote for him and I'm pissed he won. Oh yeah, the previous guy was cleaning up our police force. He Gets elected and had hired back police officers who were fired for inappropriate conduct. How the fuck is he even able to hire back already fired by the same department even officers is beyond me. My company has a policy that you can't hire people who have been previously fired, even if the manager wanted to. Why doesn't our government require the same out of all of its departments?
Good. This should be nation wide.
States are starting to rollback their opening procedures, closing bars and reducing the number of patrons allowed at any given time. Shit's going to get bad again because people got bored sitting at home, and the EcOnOmY was dYiNg.
When we're all told to quarantine again how many of these idiots are going to throw their hands up in the air and ask how this could have happened?

People are the worst, but at least we're not Florida or Texas.
Right? All these MUH FREEDUMBS people are actually in need of a parent and are terrible at making adult decisions.
