The studio behind John Wick and The Hunger Games has reinstated the use of masks after several employees tested positive for Covid-19
So far the only comments are from dumbfucks.
The workplace is not a democracy, and you have no inherent right to place others in danger.
Mask up buttercup, it literally does not hurt anyone and saves lives.
Do I really have to put an /s after every comment? Or is every dumbfuck so cynical that they can’t recognize sarcasm?
Edit: Mask up. It doesn’t hurt.
This was planned by big AI. Can’t strike when you’re on a respirator.
I’m surprised this is being downvoted so heavily. It’s clearly satire. I guess the rest of the thread being completely serious has something to do with it.
Humor is being lost to the existential dread. Enjoy it while you can.

It happens. I’m not immune. I forgot to wear my cynicism mask. Lol
I hope that these decisions don’t become more widespread.
Edit: For the sake of clarity, I, of course, respect the fact that a private business is free to make such decisions, and I do understand that the likely reason for this decision was to, as was mentioned, reduce profit loss by keeping employees healthy, but I still do not wish for mask mandates to make a widespread return; their all-too-recent existence is not a memory that I think too fondly of.
Why? Does it personally affect you?
If it were to, once again, become more widespread, then, yes, it would begin to personally affect me, just as it already has.
TSA mandates will be announced in about a week. It’s already been leaked. Two weeks to slow the spread. Literally. Same playbook as last time. I expect them to stick around for much much longer.

Do you have any source for that claim?
It’s all over the regular places that would report that kind of thing. There’s a coordinated leak and media thing that seems to be going on. I’ve even seen it reported on YT in the last couple of days. They started with the new strain new booster news a couple days ago in mass media, which was another thing leaked 2 weeks ago.

I remind you, this is not a source. The entire point of citing a source is so that the reader is not required to assume the information’s origin, nor to place trust in its purveyor.
Just like reddit, giving a specific source turns the discussion to the source. Go use your preferred search engine. I told you there’s fish in that spot. I’m not going to hand you the fish because you don’t like fishing.

I’m sorry, what? This statement makes little sense. Are you saying that you are opposed to citing sources because you think that someone will claim that your source is non-trustworthy? That is litterally the entire point of citing a source.
Ironically, if one does look into your claim, they may come across this article. A nice excerpt from it is as follows:
CLAIM: Transportation Security Administration managers were told on Aug. 15 that by mid-September they, along with airport employees, will again be required to wear face masks and by mid-October the policy will apply to travelers as well. Further, the managers were told that COVID-19 lockdowns will return by December.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. No such announcement was made to TSA managers, an agency spokesperson told The Associated Press. A spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which issued a now-expired travel mask mandate in 2021, confirmed that such rumors are “utterly false.”
THE FACTS: With COVID-19 hospitalizations steadily inching up in the U.S. since early July, some on social media are falsely claiming that federal employees were told that mask requirements and other pandemic-era restrictions will start returning this fall.
The claim originated on the Aug. 18 episode of “The Alex Jones Show,” where its namesake host said an anonymous “high-level manager in the TSA” and an unnamed “Border Patrol-connected” source told him about the alleged announcement. Jones is known for spreading conspiracy theories.
I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think this is too much. Most people have vaccine induced immunity or natural (or both), so this seems really pointless. Not to mention the current Omricon variant yields less severe symptoms.
How does that make sense if cases are rising? If current vaccinations and natural immunity were sufficient, cases wouldn’t be rising.
And while cases overall are less serious, that doesn’t mean you’re not playing roulette when you get it. I have a friend whose heart was damaged by omicron and it will affect the rest of her life. She’s only in her 30’s.
Yeah, that’s a fair point. I wasn’t thinking straight there 😅
I’m 2+1 and tested positive for COVID last week. Immunity wanes.
Both Eris and Fornax can make people pretty sick, even though they’re not causing a lot of deaths. Once the new Moderna vaccine is out, if people get it, that should help.
But we’re also starting to see flu and RSV cases, and masks help prevent those from spreading as well.
It doesn’t really matter which respiratory virus is keeping a quarter of your people home sick, or home with their sick kids, or being at work but miserable and useless and infecting others, it’s still going to mess with your ability to get shit done.
