What does that have to do with now. The delta variant is infecting vaccinated people with a small amount of those dying. Keep this up and soon we won’t have a vaccine that protects at all.

DC Mayor Bowser officiates maskless indoor wedding after reinstated mask mandate | Washington Examiner

Anyone else getting tired of the dual standards on mandates?

Actually this is false reporting. She mandated masks but they were not in effect when the wedding took place. I would not have been maskless but my guess is they were all vaccinated and the mandate was NOT yet in effect.

I can understand some people’s resistance to wearing masks. But please, if not for yourself would you consider extending consideration to people who know that if they become infected the consequences will be serious? Would you do so for a couple of weeks if a longtime neighbor or close friend asked?

If everyone would extend that kind of friendship and consideration even the new variant could be beaten down in the U.S.

Perhaps the photo is of the previous night's events. The Examiner doesn't even mention who took the photo. Serious journalistic pieces always credit the photographer, unless it's "stock," in which case they state that it's stock.

LOL Look at the photo. There are six people in it including Bowser. One guy is wearing a mask. I guess you think think they all just took a sip of their cocktail at the same time? New Olympic sport, synchronized cocktail sipping.

The photo is from the reception, not her birthday the day before. Nobody has denied the photo is not real. Stop the deflection.

You are confused. The DC mask mandate went into effect Saturday July 31. The wedding was on Saturday July 31.

It is to protect YOU not for you to police others. Wear the mask and be safe.

31 posts is a row about Covid by the OP. The residents of TV do not need a babysitter, thank you very much. Hope you stay safe in Ocala. Have a nice day.

But, whatever, let's point fingers, call names, and yell at eat other while Americans are dying.

See that’s the problem. If you look at the most recent data, and take all the emotion out of it., yes COVID cases are up, but hospitalizations are only up slightly and deaths are not up at all. Here is an example of the hysteria being generated by the CDC. There are roughly 50 million students in the US. Since COVID hit about two hundred deaths have been recorded as Covid deaths in this demographic. When the head of the CDC was asked if any of these deaths were the result of other illnesses these kids may have had at the time she could not answer. Now we want all our kids to go back to school with masks, if they go back to school at all. We are destroying a generation of kids for the sake of political correctness. Unfortunately, instead of following the science and looking at the statistics the virus has been politicized and this is resulting in people having no trust in the DCD and reluctance to get vaccinated. What a shame.

i'm agreeing with another thread. Too much on COVID, too much spamming of one coffee brand. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT IN YOUR RETIREMENTS.



what are the pro's and cons of bluetooth speakers installed in your golf cart anyway?

You'll want to check that.

According to the WaPo Covid page, in the US daily cases are back to where they were in April and hospitalizations are very close to that (though Florida's are much higher). Deaths are still down but they lag cases by two to three weeks and have been growing in the last few days.

The low death numbers look promising at the moment but it might be better to wait a week or two before getting too excited.

And this is what we are worried about, while fellow Americans are dying.

I agree with millions of unprotected virus filled infected people being allowed in the country to infect innocent citizens by current administration is criminal. 70% go to Florida.
