Michigan mask mandate effectively DONE (and officially done July 1)

Unread post by bmw »

Full details here: https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/hea ... 12d76818cf

Summary:
-Effective tomorrow at 9 AM, all outdoor mask mandates are LIFTED
-Effective tomorrow at 9 AM, all indoor mask mandates are LIFTED for fully vaccinated people
-Effective July 1, all mask mandates of any kind are LIFTED

My immediate reaction is, about damn time!

As a practical matter, since I don't know how retailers could possibly distinguish vaccinated from non-vaccinated people, the mask mandate is basically done.

Most stores seem to still be requiring them anyway which is fully within their rights. You still must comply with their rules or risk being forcibly removed if needed.

No one is getting forcibly removed for not wearing a mask.

So if vaccinated people are still wearing their masks, then I guess this isn't really about "following the science," is it? The government and the media got so much of the public so much more frightened than was necessary.

I'm basically just going with the flow. I've had both shots since the beginning of March. Yesterday and today, I kept a mask in my pocket. No one at the Speedway or the DQ had one on. So I didn't either. At the Kroger and going to and from my table at the restaurant, others were wearing a mask so I did too. Out of these 4 places, only the Kroger still had a sign on the door.

Now it’s peoples choice… guess what? They are choosing to do their part and wear a mask anyways. Over time it’ll lessen. Patience isn’t your strong suit.

There is a large increase of "cases" of politician and media induced mental illness in regard to covid.

I keep a mask on me and if the majority of those in a store are wearing one then I put mine on. No big deal.

That was quick. I thought MAYBE they would hold out until the middle of the week.

Won't last long. Money is king, and as soon as they start losing customers, those policies will change in a hurry.

It’s largest competitor was allowing unmasked people in its store. That would be Loss of business to meijer. Makes sense to ditch the mask.
If you don’t have a mask covering your exhaust pipe on the car, you are not trying to stop global warming by preventing the harmful emission particles from spraying out!

Makes zero sense to do this while people are still dying.

Can't stay locked down and social distanced and masked forever. Eventually life has got to get back to normal.
