I got mask noticed and issued a mask walking into an elementary school yesterday at 4PM.

Last hurrah for the land manatees to exercise that authority.

don't know if the Parker parents got the memo or they're still sticking to their guns but I noticed the majority of kids were still rocking masks this morning. I'll report back later in the week....so stay tuned dear readers!

Noticed this morning driving down my street and by the elementary school and was relieved to see most of the kids unmuzzled outside. Broke my heart every time I'd see them out there with masks, so was good to see it changing.

I saw this article yesterday. This woman is living in abject fear over the lifting of mask mandates. Lifting them according to her is "irresponsible and immoral". Her logic is comically bad.

Not mine. Face is out and proud. She did ask, "How long is there no mask?", which made me sad because I can't guarantee "forever" since you know HISD is just begging for an excuse to reinstitute it.

Can't eye roll hard enough at this lady

Doing so will endanger the health of young children and further drive parents to make impossible choices -- like whether to go to work or the grocery store and risk bringing home a virus that might harm their children.

My company finally sent the email. We can come back March 14th. No mask. No distancing. Basically no restrictions. So at least there's that. I didn't think that would happen a month ago when there were whispers of us being allowed back in March. But I guess with the changing "science" we've seen the last few weeks they knew they couldn't keep the restrictions.

We did move to a full hybrid type environment. So I'll probably just go in once a week but nice to have the option finally.

What about the unvaccinated who got exemptions? We got a similar email, but those people still have to provide negative tests.

I guess she better not ever let her kids ride a bike or ride in a car and better hope her kids never get the flu because all of them are far more likely to kill her kids than covid.

HISD

Is Space Center Houston federal property or is it actually entirely separate from JSC? Always wondered. Kinda silly to keep mask requirement there when all the other ones in Houston have dropped except the Children's Museum last I checked.

Well it is owned by NASA so I assume it is Federal property.

covid officially over at the company I work for. no more masks, no more "by appointment only"

COVID appears to be over at my work to (big oil). Got the email today that we are going from extreme measures to nothing effective tomorrow.

Same for us, but effective Thursday

He crushed covid two days ago. Didn't you get the change in science memo?

Yep, today is the 2 year anniversary. Hopefully it is buried on page 37 by this time next year.

It's operated by a non-profit, but I have no idea if the land or facility are federal property.

17 active cases in Cy Fair ISD. With 120,000 kids. 92 campuses.

Hey Lina. How about you dial back that stupid wheel to green, you dumb *****.

It'll be yellow by the end of the week.

But right now dealing with 'damaged ballots' and they'll miss the deadline to report results to the state which is tonight at 7pm.

It will never go to green. The gauge will just vanish quietly into the night. Probably around the start of summer. They need it until the end of the school year to appease the loony Karen parents.

Something we all knew, but here's Epoch Time's latest COVID article. Might be behind a paywall, so I'll put a wall of text down below, but I recommend this site because they list their sources and references.

In the video above, Dr. John Campbell reviews recent data released by the U.K. government in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. They show that the number of deaths during 2020 in England and Wales, where COVID-19 was the sole cause of death, was 9,400. Of those, 7,851 were aged 65 and older. The median age of death was 81.5 years.

---

Quote:

Campbell also points out that of the 17,371 people who had COVID-19 as the sole cause of death, 13,597 were 65 or older. The average age of death in the U.K. from COVID in 2021 was 82.5 years. Compare that to the projected life expectancy in the U.K., which is 79 for men and 82.9 for women. This hardly constitutes an emergency, least of all for healthy school- and working-age individuals.

---

Quote:

Similarly, in late August 2020, the CDC published data showing only 6% of the total death count had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death. The remaining 94% had had an average of 2.6 comorbidities or preexisting health conditions that contributed to their deaths. So, yes, COVID is a lethal risk only for the sickest among us, just as Walensky said, but that's true whether you're "vaccinated" or not.

In addition to the issue of whether people die "from" COVID or "with" a SARS-CoV-2 positive test, there's the issue of whether incorrect treatment is killing COVID patients. By early April 2020, doctors warned that putting COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation increased their risk of death.

One investigation showed a staggering 80% of COVID-19 patients in New York City who were placed on ventilators died, causing some doctors to question their use. U.K. data put that figure at 66% and a small study in Wuhan found 86% of ventilated patients died.

You might wonder why doctors and hospital administrators insist on using treatments known to be ineffective at best and deadly at worst, while stubbornly refusing to administer anything that has been shown to work, be it intravenous vitamin C, hydroxychloroquine and zinc, ivermectin or corticosteroids.
The most likely answer is because they're protecting their bottom line. In the U.S., hospitals not only risk losing federal funding if they administer these treatments, but they also get a variety of incentives for doing all the wrong things. Hospitals receive payments for:

• COVID testing for all patients
• COVID diagnoses
• Admitting a "COVID patient"
• Use of remdesivir
• Use of mechanical ventilation
• COVID deaths

Thanks for the link and info Xpress.

I opened the link, scanned through it. This stopped me in my "tracks":
"Remdesivir trials during the 2018 West African Ebola outbreak had to be discontinued because death rate exceeded 50%. Yet, in 2020, Anthony Fauci directed that Remdesivir was to be the drug hospitals use to treat COVID-19, even when the COVID clinical trials of Remdesivir showed similar adverse effects."

Hanging to too good for that little sum-beyatch <insert irate as all hell face here>
