Can you actually be forced to wear a mask in the building indefinitely?

I spent no time thinking about it.

I let the doctor that has been caring for them since they were infants guide that decision.

....while I concentrate on what I know.

It's been a good system, one I hope my children ultimately adopt.
I am vaccinating myself but I don't know if I could have my children get vaccinated if They was young, I'm not sure I would do it

Ironically enough, this virus does not care about your principles.

....
and in the end you may actually end up sacrificing your children to a global-wide pandemic as a result of your commitment to fringe science, partisan politics and unfortunate paranoia.

I hope you get lucky and that doesn't happen.
Children are not at risk of anything except developmental disorders from masks and social distancing.

Covid is nothing for them. Literally nothing. A kid being positive for covid isn't even a reason to change my plans.

This is a fascinating post. You spend no time whatsoever considering that other people may make bad decisions regarding your children.

Ok all you official narrative authoritarians, you can take one step closer to reality. WaPo finally admitted the truth about cloth and surgical masks. It'll take another two years for them to realize N95's aren't any good at stopping airborne viruses, but, baby steps.

Here you go Bubbles:

"and some, such as the CIDRAP head Michael Osterholm, have been going public urging people to put less faith in cloth masks..."

Amazing! I knew that covid was spread through aerosols in 2020, and the CDC still hasn't figured it out. You guys better start questioning whether people at the CDC are even qualified to make the statements they do when a dumb trucker knows better than them.

There never was a legitimate debate about masks. The data was clear from long before the pandemic, it was the supposed "experts" who labored to obfuscate it. The question we must all be asking is if we can't trust the experts on a very simple matter like masks, what else can't we trust them about? And why are our elected representatives continuing to try to give them even more unchecked power?

I'm a sorter in the hub during the day in northern NJ. I find it almost impossible to be doing a physical job sweating etc. wearing a mask especially with hot weather coming. Most of the people I see just wear them around their necks but my 21 Year old sup has a hard on for me and harasses me to put it on every 10 minutes. Today the building manager threatened to fire me if I don't wear it despite the fact it almost none of his supervisors do it. He also says he expects this to be the policy until there's a vaccine for coronavirus which is likely to be never. He also says he expects this to be the policy until there's a vaccine for coronavirus which is likely to be never. Is there anything that I can do or is it really wear a mask or not work
In my building the Nassau Hub the policy is to wear a mask but most don’t.

It's truly amazing how anybody can say this when most of it originated prior to Biden being elected?

Sorry, but these are not partisan issues.
Mask "science" found a way to bow to public opinion right when Biden was experiencing a crisis of public opinion on that issue.

The timing is perfect and science always finds a way to confirm whatever Biden needs.
