Masks back…

Gracious ❤️ 🙏

We have trouble finding sympathy for most situations these days as warnings about things going unheeded and actions get blown out of right context is gripping people’s attention. The I need to do something it’s crisis is compelling and we hope that people will be understanding but prudent. PP

Normal moment

a minute to think…

In response to your request, here is some information about mask mandates:

A mask mandate refers to a government or public health authority’s requirement for individuals to wear face masks or face coverings in specific settings or situations. The purpose of a mask mandate is to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases, particularly during times of increased transmission, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mask mandates can vary in their scope and application. Some mandates may apply to specific locations, such as public transportation, indoor public spaces, or crowded outdoor areas, while others may be more widespread and require masks to be worn in all public settings. The specific details of mask mandates, including who is exempted and the types of masks that are considered acceptable, can be determined by the issuing authority.

It’s important to note that mask mandates are often implemented alongside other preventive measures, such as social distancing and hand hygiene, to provide a more comprehensive approach to limiting the spread of infectious diseases.

If you have further questions or need more specific information about mask mandates in your area, I recommend referring to official government or public health websites for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Editor’s note:

Covid-19 he’s still here in some form or another and maybe making changes. The public health system was fundamentally concerned about overwhelming the system, making it a public emergency. Vaccination is undoubtedly the number one reason they are able to remove the force of law behind measures and go to a cooperative approach. If you are not vaccinated you are still able to get severe covid-19 infection with all its consequences. We we adamantly encourage if this is you if this is case to go and get vaccinated the grief you save maybe from somebody very close to you or somebody very close to somebody else. The most unselfish thing you can do is follow the recommendations of public Health or your doctor and live at peace with your decision.

Happy National, USA,, Freedom Day.

Today, February 1st is freedom day, the day where we endorse our freedom to choose to not violate the rights, liberty, or peace of others. Whether it’s nuisance,

( noise, fluids or smells ) or respectful distance, we keep our neighbors security in mind so that we never have to be ordered to.

New Pandemic word, Brillsilency.

Brillsillency means the brilliant ways to preserve peace order and good government by thoughtful inputs at the best time possible for reception and implementation. Or defer to the peace and comfort of your own company in minding your own difficulties to a successful and complete resolution. To accomplish productively pursuits of steadfastness without stubborn rage.
