#federal SquareOffs

Oregon had some of the best stats for covid because of the mask mandate and it's not over yet. People will screw it up.

I do not think this is over.

It is not over with all the new varients and infection rates rising again !

After I go into a place that has them for you when you walk in, I just put them back into the box that I got them out of for the next person.

Never! As we have learned, pandemics are easier to start now, So I will definitely keep the many masks I have.... cloth, blue hospital, duck-face... all of them!!

We may need them again. Also, it is smart to wear them in the flu season. Look at how much less flu we had during the pandemic. Also, the mask is not the only safeguard. We were (supposedly) washing our hands more, keeping a safe distance from others and staying away from others while sick.

Good masks are still recommend, just not required in most situations. I work in healthcare and we are still required. Why take unnecessary chances? Do you drive at night with your lights off?

I'm keeping the good ones for dust masks, if nothing else. The cloth ones I've already discarded.

It will probably be reinstated before long unfortunately, masks should not be worn it has been linked to pnomonhia

No Based on the fact that Brown has proven she can't be trusted about dropping mask mandates. I expect her to reinstate it just to get her name back in the news. I hope I am wrong.
