Montgomery County's indoor mask mandate will expire on Monday, February 21, 2022 at 11:59 PM. The expiration was triggered by the meeting of targets for improvement on three health metrics: the number of cases per 100,000 residents, the test positivity rate, and the percentage of County hospital beds filled by Covid-19 patients.
However, even after Monday night, masks are still required in Montgomery County Public Schools, in government buildings, and on public transportation. School mask requirements may change after the Maryland Board of Education meets to discuss the matter on Tuesday, February 22.
What a joke. These School and Government people just can't accept that everyone, and I mean everyone, will get Omicron. It's going to happen. People are in denial that it will happen, but it will happen. Almost nobody in the school age group is going to die from it. This is authoritarianism masquerading as public health. Masks are not effective against Omicron, but they do serve as a reminder of who's in charge, which is what they want to remind us about.
ReplyDeleteTo think our country made it through WWII rationing and now we see the quivering snowflakes about a virus that nearly everyone in this age group will survive. How far we've fallen. Shameful.
To think our country made it through WWII rationing and now we see the quivering snowflakes cry daily about masks, even on articles about how the mandate is being lifted.

We'll see if that happens or not.
