The following report is by Newsweek:
City hospitals in New York City have reinstated masks after data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed a spike in cases in the state.
In New York, officials in hospitals felt the rise in hospital admissions in parts of the state including Suffolk and Nassau counties—both coping with a 33.2 percent rise in hospitalizations compared to the week before—was enough to reintroduce a mask mandate.
Kings County physician Elias Youssef said that the rise in Brooklyn, which had seen an increase of 24.8 percent, “slowly started to trickle up after the Thanksgiving holiday.” The CDC data was measured through to December 16.
NYC Health + Hospitals said there would now be a mask policy at its facilities.
Youssef told News 12:
It’s the same advice we’ve been giving to people year-round—if you don’t feel well or others don’t feel well, try to stay home or isolate. If you do go out in enclosed spaces, please wear a mask, an N95 is considered the best mask, if you have one available to you.
The picture is similar in Illinois, where at least 14 counties are currently listed as having “high” rates of new hospital admissions related to COVID compared to the week before. You can see the full map of data here.
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) said on December 14 that it “is advising healthcare facilities to step up mitigation efforts to minimize the spread of respiratory viruses.”
The health body said it “supports CDC’s recommendation of facility-wide masking at healthcare facilities that are in counties” with high levels of COVID.
The IDPH said the measure was because of COVID, but also “elevated transmission” of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and flu.
Counties such as Carroll and Jo Daviess saw a rise in admissions of 73.1 percent, but some counties with high rates did see a decrease in admissions compared to the week before.
Staff at UW Health—which operates hospitals and clinics in Illinois and Wisconsin, said the festive season was the worst for COVID they had seen in years.
The day after Christmas, I’ve never seen the volumes like I’ve seen, that was like the worst of the COVID time. We saw a record number of ED (Emergency Department) patients in the Belvidere hospital, we’ve never seen that many.
UW Health Chief Medical Officer James Cole told Illinois TV station WIFR 23.
UW Health says it requires masks at many of its sites.
A California county has also urged residents to begin wearing masks in public and receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
Yolo County officials said in a news release that “a rise in respiratory virus activity in the community” meant people should think about wearing masks “in crowded, indoor spaces.”
Our wastewater monitoring program is currently detecting high COVID-19 and RSV levels. I recommend that everybody in the community take steps to protect themselves from infection, including wearing a high-quality mask when indoors around others.
In addition, if you have not yet gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine, annual flu vaccine, and RSV vaccine, I strongly encourage you to do so—it is not too late.
CDC data says Yolo County hospital admissions have gone up by 20.6 percent in the week before December 16.
A number of Bay Area counties, including Contra Costa, Sonoma, Alameda and San Mateo, ordered health workers to wear masks in healthcare facilities, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Patients and visitors also have to wear them in care areas in Santa Clara County and Marin County.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
It maybe the start of the new year, but this is the “new normal” in wacko-dacko land. And yet people in the media and healthcare space can’t seem to figure out why they are not trusted or taken seriously anymore, on top of the myriad of other existing problems that system facilitates.
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
Job 13:4
[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).

Physicians of no value, indeed!
You can wear your moron masks all you want, but as for us and many others myself included, no thanks!
It’s over move on with the diapers. We are done with the propaganda.
Brother your article picture made me chuckle. You have good taste in choosing those. 🙂
We are not falling for the masks or vaccines again (I am still unvaccinated for Covid). If the area managers and upper management tries to pull this off again, I will speak out for the associates to hear. Because I’m an assistant area manager, I can warn others not to take these death shots. I pray that I am bold as a lion.
