“There will be fewer masking requirements though masking rules will remain in place at health care settings correctional facilities, homeless shelters and schools. Masks will continue to be required for unvaccinated employees who return to work indoors. Businesses can continue to choose to require masks for their customers, regardless of vaccination status.

Until that is no longer the case, I don’t consider WA fully reopened. At this juncture, any business that still opts to “require” masks can heartily fuck off.

Strangely absent is ‘while driving in your vehicle alone’.

Because of DOH needs to call out non-starters like “while sleeping”…

I came from a trip visiting family and friends in Tri-Cities area and Spokane a few weeks ago.  From what I saw, it looks like the mask mandate ended long before the King's deceleration.   Even before the lift of limits, I visited a Wendy's without any capacity limits.  The motel in Spokane where I stayed, nobody was wearing a mask.  Same went for the Costco in Richland.

This year there are no government fireworks and the government doesn't allow personal fireworks.

If there is no celebration of freedom is pretty obvious even to the obtuse, web are not really free.

I had never seen the cute little girls at the coffee shop without their masks until this week.

It was surreal.  And what a difference it makes.

I looked up the data today for Washington State.  Almost 6000 people died from Covid.  Less than 10 children died from it.  

Masking the children was child abuse, and they will be forever scarred from this.

Of course, why didn't I think of that? My next medical issue can easily be solved with a box of Scooby Doo band aids or a quick trip to Idaho.

Bring back Common Etiquette.

Big Government should be encouraging handkerchiefs, now, instead of virtue-signaling thin cloth masks.  
My bandanna is very effective for coughs and sneezes.

If anyone has any kids going to WA public schools, it looks like masks will still be required in fall 2021.

Oh, are teachers going to be "forced" to work in "unsafe" conditions, having to be around all those deadly infected kids? The poor dears.

Looks like I'll be heading into a safety  meeting tomorrow,  where the are going to inform us, no vaccine, you wear the mask. At least that's what the news from fist shift is anyway.  They had their meeting today.

There is an lni pamphlet that gives employers guidance. It's not optional. If your employer doesn't do it-

Elections have consequences



If you actually see the pamphlet-there are 4 ways to not wear a mask. The last one is a "self attestation".

It's going to be an interesting day for me. I'm pretty sure you and I work at the same place. Everybody there, that I work with knows where I stand on the Issue and they guy I work for Is a bit of a douche nozzle. My plan was to refuse to sign anything. We'll see how I feel about it when I get there.

I dont know what you decided to do-you survived under more stringent bullshit over the last year then you do now.

I think the attestation is your best route forward.

I’m fully vaccinated and don’t wear a mask… Most of the time.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less if people choice to continue wearing a mask and even while driving alone in a car…  It’s a non issue to me.

If a business requires a mask…  No biggie.  I either put on a mask or go to a different business.  This isn’t a stand I’m willing to fight for since again, a non issue to me AND more of a personal choice.

In the end,it doesn’t affect me one bit, so I don’t give a shit about it.  I’m more concerned about the price of gasoline and groceries as inflation kicks in and increases each and every month with this administration.

Masks will come back and soon.

LA County is already mandating masks for indoors down in California.

Las Vegas is "recommended".

Dimslee usually copies California.

Masks are already 100% confirmed required for public school students for 2021-2022 school year.

Leftist politicians made policy based on "cases" in 2020/2021. 100% of humanity could be vaccinated and "cases" will still go up and down, in accordance with respiratory virus patterns catalogued for decades.



Watch, this fall, when cases rise again, we will see the return of restrictions and businesses will suffer again. Schools will likely go 100% remote again when the teachers union demands it.

"Medical experts" up in Seattle/King County are already saying to put masks back on. https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/washingtons-rising-number-of-covid-19-cases-stokes-concern-anxiety

It will never end in blue areas.

This is not an accident, they’re trying to make blue shitholes so unpleasant to live it’ll push more libtards to free states to reinforce the blue cancer voting base there in the event ballot tampering and election fraud runs into any issues.

Those who flee blue shitholes are being replaced by CCP citizens, demonrats haven’t thought far enough ahead at what the consequences to the country will be long term, or they have…who knows with them

I guess. All of the families that I know whom are leaving/have left are conservative. All the liberal/moderate families I know are staying.

Yep, listen to the questions Inslee fielded from the "media" (read: propaganda plants), especially the reporter at around the 41:17 minute mark who keeps seeding speculative solutions to Inslee.

I don't know if he is identified, but whoever that guy is, he's definitely a plant. What he asks about in his questions is what Inslee will do in the future.
