Seattle encourages people to wear masks.  That insanity worked so well in the 2020 “scamdemic,” that some progressives want an encore. If they try hard enough, maybe a lockdown, too.

In Seattle, Washington, Dr. Eric Chow, King County’s chief of communicable diseases, is encouraging people to take preventative measures, including wearing masks, as COVID cases increase. Of course, it depends on what your definition of increase is … is. For the week ending April 27, only ½ of 1 percent (0.5%) of hospital emergency room visits involved a COVID diagnosis. 

As of the week ending June 15, COVID patients made up about 1.5 percent of hospital emergency visits. Washingtonians are ignoring the vaccine, which likely means they will ignore any suggestion to wear a mask. 

Statewide, only 19 percent are current with their COVID vaccinations. Should they expect a knock at their door?

New York gov. wants masks in subways, yet since 1845, New York State had a ban against wearing masks. Obviously, that was to prevent the Ku Klux Klan (or like-minded organizations) from causing mayhem against minorities. 

Then came COVID and that ban was lifted so the state could mandate masks. With all the violence in New York, specifically by pro-Hamas thugs in New York City, Gov. Kathy Hochul has suggested putting the mask ban back in place. 

There would be “common-sense exemptions.” Someone wearing a keffiyeh and carrying a sign celebrating the October 7 massacre in Israel might still claim they have a medical reason for a face covering. 

Let’s wait and see if this mask ban happens since leftist groups like the ACLU will probably want to protect the rights of Hamas terrorists.
