Apple Drops Mask Requirement for Corporate Workers at 'Most Locations'

[Razorpit]

Free healthcare in the UK means that we haven’t thought about Covid for a very long time. UK gave 21 free at home tests per month to each person 1.5 years before the US gave 2 for everyone. I think the last restrictions here was lifted over a year ago. Sad to see the richest state in history in the richest country in history is still dealing with this…all over a lie that free healthcare will completely backup the healthcare system. We in Europe are not as brilliant as you all in the states and have figured it out. Is it perfect? No, but what you’re going through is in deep need of change.

What an enormous waste of money. No wonder everything is so expensive over there. In two years I've taken exactly one test, I was forced for a Dinosaur Jr. show. Never mind the fact that 100% of the vaccinated could have been carrying the active virus. Complete idiocracy.

Why are we told to cover our mouths and turn away before sneezing? And don’t say it’s only to prevent us from spraying others with snot.

😂 Answer the question without giving me the reason. Double negative is proof positive. 🙄

We (US) are still averaging over 350 deaths per day to Covid. So.. image a 747 going down every day killing all aboard, would that get your attention?

FFS.. when did we become a country that stopped giving a 💩?

As long as I'm not on it, no.

 

[cocky jeremy]

A million Americans weren't as fortunate as you.

A million Americans should have taken better care of themselves.

 

[cocky jeremy]

I guarantee if a known COVID positive patient is in a non ventilated room with you and starts sneezing/coughing the poster will be the first to grab that N95.

Want to bet?

You seem to have mistaken this site for Infowars or OANN. Your comment is not only vile but inaccurate as well.

A lot of people still wear masks on the subway.

They do. I guess my hyperbole was too much. What they definitely don’t do though, is enforce it. It’s a question of crowd levels for me. Rush hour, on; space available, it stays in the pocket.

 

[BuffaloTF]

To tell you the truth I would rather pay for my own healthcare than live off somebody else.

How exactly do you think insurance works?

Don't want to catch the cold your coworker has? Do what you can to avoid catching it. That's on you.

But ask yourself, why is your coworker at work while sick? Why aren't they taking sick leave? That's where you should be directing your energy: at the regulations in place that allow a sick worker to be on the job, rather than being told to stay home until they get better.

People can have and spread Covid without appearing sick

This is probably the best part of the message. Live and let live; be responsible for your own health and let the rest do the same.

That's the type of society I want to live in - to be free to choose.

Having more money.

Should come in handy for those glasses you need to correct your shortsightedness

You know what else that sounds like? A common cold.

Again, do what you feel you must to minimize your chances of getting sick. But understand that it's not anyone else's responsibility to prevent you from getting sick. This insistence on mandating others to care about your own well-being is laughable.

Would you like to dictate and mandate charity and goodwill next?

That’s what the mask zealots have been doing. Japan is recording close to 400,000 “cases” daily. Mask usage was high before, during, and after the pandemic.

Would you use chain-link fencing (surgical mask) to block mosquitoes? How about chicken wire (N95)? Surgical masks don’t filter air. They just redirect air and block droplets. Viruses spread through aerosols. N95 is meant to block dust and particulates, not viruses. That’s why study after study shows no effect.

First off close to 400,000 cases daily? What is your source. Not even close.

Common colds don't kill hundreds of thousands of people.

It's nice that you're not selfish, self centered and are concerned about your fellow man and possibly getting them sick though.

That part is true. NYPD has never enforced it because they were the main violators, esp during peak COVID. I will wear on the train 100% of the time since COVID gave me a heart condition that I'm stuck with for the rest of my life. On the platform, if it's crowded, I will still wear it. I'm lucky to be remote for work and don't actually have to take it often anymore and only ride when necessary.

Masks don’t work?

The virtue signalling like work culture has reach some levels, people concerned about doing the right thing and worrying about others while chiming about saving the planet from carbon dioxide emissions and not looking at the sum of it all for example using child labour to mine Cobalt or massive amounts of water to extract Lithium, but hey whatever the media and government propaganda machines are pushing and the illusion of the masses being onboard is all good. Give yourself a gold star for being a good little brick in the wall. 😁

People who are sick need to wear a mask to avoid getting others sick. But because of people who don’t care about others, some people who are not sick choose to wear a mask and keep their distance, etc.
I don’t need to read a RCT to prove it. I’ve been seeing it happen with people I know. Only this past week, 7 got sick, and they all live in different places, so it’s not a case of a group of people that got infected together.
There’s a lot of people who are still contagious wondering at stores and other places, but because they did their 5 day quarantine, don’t bother to wear a mask, and are getting others infected.

Edit: add two more to the list, and I was with them the day before they showed symptoms. But i didn’t get sick. Could it be because I was wearing a mask?

I guess in this perfect world other things respiratory agitators do not exists like allergies from environment, pollen, post nasal drip, smoking, food reactions, etc. Got it, must all be COVID-19.

If only the numbers of infected and death were not so inflated due to payouts. Sad as it maybe hospitals cashed in those bonus payouts for labelling anything COVID-19 and attach a respirator to it.

People who like being dictated by the nanny state will be unable to heed your advice. 😝

 

[code-m]

Show me an RCT that shows that masks of any kind reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.

Lol, that poster will be unable to and have settled on a side regardless if right or wrong it’s part of the human ego unfortunately. Regardless the “foegen effect” sides with your sentiment.

If you post something, please make sure to post the complete concept:
“Foegen Effect Theory”
And a theory is not a proven fact. Check a dictionary and you will see.
High mortality rate in Kansas? Could it be that the people there worn the same mask every day, kept it in a plastic bag, and didn’t follow direction on how to use a mask?
If you look at it he instructions for a N95 Mask you will notice a warning that says that not using a mask properly could cause injury or death.

How much did a doctor make when he lied and said someone died from covid? Please give me a number.

 

[jonnyb098]

As long as there is a non-zero probability that a mask will help, I’ll continue wearing them as I see fit.

There’s a non-zero probability you could get hit by a car…will you forever never leave your home? Good god. Enjoy a life of fear.

The question is how do you think it works?

 

[phalseHUD]

Using a face mask in a store, is akin to having a pissing corner in a swimming pool… The mask requirement should have been dropped long ago.
