State of Oregon makes indoor mask mandate PERMANENT, so I'm not going to worlds

World Champs are outdoors, snowy.

Doesn’t ancestor imply more than a few generations back?

They also didn’t storm Normandy cause they were mentally ill or to pretend they were accomplishing something. Which is all the mask wearing is for the most part.

a harmless little jab

A "harmless little jab"? That is a lie. The vaccine has killed over 3,000 people, verified in the known cases in the VAERS database.

He's probably 20 years old and his single mother is 35 and her single mother is 50. WW2 is probably 7+ generations back in his family.

Typical projection from right wingers. So adorable.

Yes, the people who are most vulnerable have very high vaccination rates, and yet, thousands of people continue to die every day, cases and hospitalizations are surging, and it’s thank to antivaxxers and those who coddle them like you. The only thing narcissistic modern right wingers care about is money and putting on a performance for the excitable, emotional lemmings that form their constituency

Another blatant lie the covidiots and modern right wingers love to shamelessly spread. No morals whatsoever among your ilk, only fake outrage and fake righteous indignation.

What do you not comprehend by the title of this thread. "PERMANENT" means permanent, forever, infinity, never expires, in perpetuity......

And Oregon just enacted a PERMANENT mask law. So your point is?

Nice job posting misinformation. If you actually read statements from their health official, the plan is to stop implementing temporary mask mandates that expire and having to keep voting on them. Their plan is to put in a “permanent” one that can then be cancelled when the COVID risk is significantly reduced. This allows people and businesses to operate under one assumption until otherwise told vs being unsure every few months.

Antivaxxers and making stuff up because they have nothing real to stay mad about... name a better duo lol.

I am so much smarter than every antivaxxer on this board lol it's so funny.

I enjoy observing your puny brains and imagining the little gears whirring.

What a load. There's a reason these emergency power grabs have time limits on them. The legislature *should* be re-evaluating emergency laws on a regular basis. You mean it's too much burden for them to re-examine their mask laws every 180 days? What exactly are they doing all day?

Lmfao. Businesses don't need 6 months of "certainty" around mask laws. Come on, you can't possibly believe this.

I wouldn’t mind if this was permanent. I haven’t gotten sick in 2 years with the distancing/masks.

Do you honestly not understand his straight forward question?

If it is NOT (to use your style) permanent.....

But according to the OP, it IS permanent. As in never ending. End of story.

Is the OP trolling or are they r*t*rded? They have not made it permanent

People died every day BEFORE COVID-19 even existed. The main difference now is if you have asymptomatic COVID and you fall off a ladder and die they call it a covid death...

Nothing is "surging"... We're in peak flu season and the number of global weekly average cases is DOWN from the summer. Daily deaths are WAY down from summer.

When an actual pandemic comes along the world is going to be devastated because fear mongering morons like YOU handled COVID so badly.

COVID is basically HARMLESS to children. All vaccines have side effects. Even the rarest of side effects are MORE LIKELY than death from COVID for a healthy child.

If you're that worried about it vaccinate your own kids and put 9 masks on them. Leave everyone else the hell alone.

So do the people of Oregon... so let's stop debating it as a "temporary" measure at this point.

And you think it's not?

I'm sure the people of Oregon will be glad to learn you're not coming!

And yes, I’d gladly attend anywhere where people have the brains to understand the importance of mask wearing during a pandemic.

Have a nice day.

Learn to read and then read something not posted on right leaning websites. An Oregon Health Authority advisory committee is drafting language for a “permanent” indoor mask mandate rule. The current mandate expires in February and cannot be extended by executive order. A new mandate would be more indefinite and would allow the governor to keep a mandate for as long as needed.

This does not mean that you will have to mask up forever. If you are vaxxed, you don’t need to wear a mask at Hayward. I went to several meets last year and never had to don a mask.

But, stay away all the same.

Thank you! OP can't read or is clouded by their political anger.

I'll be dissapointed to miss a big event like this but I'm just not going to support these types of decisions. If you live in Oregon you were just told you have to wear a mask indoors for the rest of your life, totally insane. I'm not going to spend a dollar in a state that mandates masks forever.

I wonder if it will hurt recruiting to UO? Would you go to a college that mandates masks if you could go to one that doesn't like NAU, UNC, Colorado, etc?

I thought this was fake news, but they're actually planning on a permanent indoor mask mandate lol what a complete clown world we live in. covid hysteria and paranoia (and authoritarian control) beats science again

Easy solution. Stay home. We like it that way anyway.
