Mac Rumors reports that roughly 100 stores across the U.S. will now require that all staff wear masks. This is because of yet another reported rise in Covid cases. Customers will not be mandated to wear masks at this time. Apple will also enforce corporate workers to wear masks when in common areas again. Corporate staff are still abiding by a two day in-office work week, putting off a required three day in-office schedule for the time being.
One commenter on Mac Rumors’ post said, “Yeah no. I am done with wearing masks.” Another said, ‘”Just 2 weeks to flatten the curve…”‘
Meanwhile the CDC and health authorities are urging Americans in some areas of the country to put masks back on.
‘That advice currently applies to about one-third of Americans, all of whom now live in areas with high levels of community transmission, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of those areas are in the Northeast,’ Medical XPress wrote.
We urge local leaders to encourage the use of prevention strategies like masking in public indoor settings, and increasing access to testing and treatment for individuals.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky
Walensky additionally noted that Americans should wear masks in communities that have a moderate level of reported infections, and take a Covid test if they are around others.
We could be entering a period where we have an increased number of cases but a substantially decreased severity of illness, so that we see fewer hospitalizations and many fewer deaths. But as absolutely uncomfortable and unsatisfactory as this is, we just don’t know what this virus is going to throw at us in the next 90 days.
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told the New York Times
Update: CDC Green Lights Use Of Boosters. FDA Approves Pfizer Covid Booster Shots For Ages 5 To 11
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:20021
I mention this because the Covid war is not going away, as clearly demonstrated over the past couple of months, and it will be here to stay, and these hills on the little roller coaster will continue to be perpetuated along with the flu and other new shamdemics that are created.
As with this, I don’t know, but this could be an early forecast as to where things will be heading as we get closer to the summer time, and the masses will be looking to break loose after two years of being cooped up in their homes. Because of this, attempting to muzzle up the masses, riots, famine, inflation; while creating a boiling over point.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I was corresponding today with someone I know who has covid, they said they had a fever, headache and a cough. I suggested taking vitamins C , D and zinc, and to gargle with salt water (I got the salt water tip from Jacob’s article about the covid “outbreak” in NK!), and apparently what I suggested is exactly what the doctor suggested!…and they want us to mask up and get vaccinated for this level of a virus? It is complete nonsense!
Your monkey picture is good! Pretty funny, but true. If it is crazy now, what will happen when fall and winter come? I pray that the rapture comes before that. Take the believers out. I am telling everyone I can, to be ready, saved in Jesus.
The monkey picture is pretty funny : )
Monkey see monkey do.
