Will mask mandates be around forever in Ohio/Columbus?

Theyll be around intermittently for a long time. Compliance is all that's necessary to sustain the mandates. Theyll of course toss in optimism by eluding to lifting the mandates at a later date because cases are dwindling, but then shortly after another "variant" will predictably appear and the fear mongering media campaign will ramp up and so too will the oppressive restrictions and pharma vaccine/pill distribution. Time to wake up.

I think that we'll have rolling mandates, like in the winter, but in the summers they will lift them.

I'm for the vax and I think that would help drive case counts down.

At least DeWine's power has been curtailed but how could the Legislature NOT see they could get pantsed by home rule (Ginther, the mayor of Cbus, put in an enforceable ORDINANCE, as opposed to a statewide RECOMMENDATION). So he has LEO backing on it.

Duh..Follow the Science bro. Its much easier.

Same in Boston. We have a mandate, many surrounding towns do not, COVID rates are the same everywhere. The mandates are pointless political signaling.

It's Ohio. Who cares?

You say, "follow the science," but these scientists and related occupations in the industry will be fired/smeared/censored if they go against the covid narrative. What a conflict of interest. The control of info is reminiscent of the Nazis and oppressive communist regimes. Science used to be reliable but it has become littered with bias/ulterior motives and used as a weapon for coercion and inflicting authoritarian measures. Time to wake up.

No, they won't be permanent. They may be around another year or two but they will be done eventually even if it takes a few generations.

In other parts oh Ohio.... I can't tell you the last time I've seen a mask.

Don't worry, they'll go away once COVID is eradicated worldwide

Maybe

A few generations? You’re kidding.

Do you need to spam every single covid thread? We finally got rid on uncle and here you are.

The media blasts covid hysteria 24/7 why don't you go confront them regarding your matter.

People wear the same mask day after day. Imagine a dr using the same mask for weeks lol, idiots.

If they're still using the 50 cases/100k standard it'll be here for the foreseeable future. We're at 538 statewide and 364 for Franklin County. It seems like its only sporadically enforced anyway.

So you don't think we get enough of it from the media? We need to get it here every other thread?

Man I hope the c bus marathon doesn’t get canceled

Ugh.

I wore a mask to the Olive Garden on Sawmill and one of my friends didn't (honest mistake). The takeout guy (he runs the counter for takeouts) got all pissy with him and said the OG they were in was in Columbus, not Dublin. Dublin doesn't have a mask mandate. Yet he was so close to the other counter person, etc. and they were wedged in due to space.

It's about control for some people.

last weekend no one had a mask at Urban Growl on Indianola. Later the same day the Drexel required proof of vax to watch a movie. So hit-and-miss!
