    Cloth masks are virtue signaling of the highest order.

    You have a higher chance of getting shot in Portland than dying from Covid and she's completely botched that responsibility.

    Oh sure... I'm not against her at all.

    Umatilla county had something like 11 new deaths the other day.

    did you accept the state's offer last year of masks & gloves to small businesses?

    we got 500 masks & gloves sent to us for free


    & double faced cloth masks are measurably more safe than none

    Didn't realize she was also the Mayor of Portland, Chief of Police in Portland, and I also question Deebs assertion that it's more likely to get shot than to die of COVID in Portland. 891 people were shot in PDX in 2020, 705 people in 2021 so far, for a total of 1596 during the pandemic...there have been more COVID-19 deaths in Portland at 3,056 over that time period.

    The argument is nutty and unscientific, and it's everywhere on social media. So by all means get a third dose for an antibody boost if you think you need it, but don't buy into the argument vaccines aren't working:

    - Unvaccinated survivors are more than twice as likely to get reinfected, research indicates, dispelling belief that recovered are largely immune, particularly with new variants.

    - Vaxxed breakthroughs are less infectious, which stops exponential growth among vaccinated groups.

    - Most importantly, vaccines durably & dramatically lower the risk of a breakthrough infection spreading to your lungs.
    I don't care. This is so simple. I don't even understand why there are so many posts in this thread. Maybe it's my age. I never got smallpox or polio, because I was vaccinated. Simple. And that was a long time ago. What's wrong with people? Why is this such a problem? I just don't get it. It's easy and free. JFC.

    Well those were just hoaxes perpetuated by the Kaiser to soften us against the Hun and weaken our support of Archdukes. It's clear as day.

    Spent the day walking around and shopping/dining in NYC, probably 90 percent of the people were masked indoors even without a current mandate.

    I'm sorry but mandating masks outdoors is silly.

    It’s a signal from the State that they are ratcheting down. Closures are up next.

    I thought those cases were most likely spread during an indoor gathering after the outdoor ceremony?

    Whatever...I don't give a fuck anymore.

    Even in the most highly vaccinated state the anti maskers are revolting.

    At 1:06 in the youtube video a guy starts arguing with the usual "we pay you ect and can get rid of you" then says he might withhold his school taxes followed by a woman at 1:08.15 asking about the kids immune system with a gem "how can the kids build a strong immune system wearing masks that stop them from getting infected and building immunity".
    Going to be hard to get the last 14% vaccinated here.

    At the school board meeting, the doctor that speaks in certain absolutes said something like “the research shows that random testing doesn’t have any benefits”. I’m asking to see this research, but would also like to send research showing the opposite. Does such a thing exist?
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    I’m all for the state increasing restrictions until the ICUs aren’t full. Masks, business closures, etc.

    If I or my family have some health issue right now that requires hospitalization or surgery, we are screwed.

    If this makes certain people unhappy, I too do not give a fuck anymore.

    Yes, anti maskers are disgusting. And what did you expect from Richford?
