I suspect that we will see CA got it wrong again with respect to what TX and others are doing.
By the way...where is the science on double masking? Why stop at 2? I personally prefer 6. That way I can also cover the ears. Somewhere someone said the covid likes to travel through the ear canal which means not only can you get covid that way, but likely will go deaf if it happens.
By the way...this belongs in the bad news thread. It is bad news that people like this get voted into office.
California City Bans New Gas Stations in Latest Climate Change Effort | Brad Polumbo
As the debate over climate policy continues to heat up, one California city just took an unprecedented step: Banning all new gas stations. But this unprecedented intervention will inevitably backfire.

Here is an effective double masking strategy.
If two are better than one, wouldn't three or four work even better? I mean we've gone from zero to two. Based on the trend common sense would tell you as many as can get on would be best.
Happy times such as the summer --
June 20 - about 180,000 new cases a week
July 21 - about 480,000 new cases a week (the peak of that wave)
September 20 - about 360,00 new cases a week (near the trough before the big wave)

Masks were common place in Asia before this and will be after.

You know you always make powerful arguments. They eat more bugs too. I just enhanced your point.
Agreed. See how easy that is to find common ground.

Remember when razors had one blade?
In Japan though they wear them when they go out sick or to protect against allergies. They don’t wear them asymptomatically to prevent others from getting sick

Game, set, match.
if we had somehow gotten to this point without the use of gasoline-powered transportation, there is no way a gasoline industry would be permitted.
It never ceases to amaze me how much "technology" they can put into razors and toothbrushes.
BTW more is always better.
They do now. So do most people in the US. It works.
We are down to maybe 1/3 of the country that insists on their "right" to spread disease.
The majority of the country is with the program.

And there you go again. Look around. All the states experienced the latest rise starting about the same time. Strict states, less strict and not very strict.
If masks really worked the data would show it.

How does one know when they are asymptomatic?
The data does show it. It's in multiple peer reviewed papers. You just don't have the statical chops to review the data.
Yah...I’ve never thought of it until this past year, but I wonder how many asymptomatic cases of Influenza or any other virus we have each year?
Not making any type of Q or maggat conspiracy, just one of those “things that make you say, hmmm...”
If you'll recall, this was the spike that was driven by the southern states from Florida-California, excluding New Mexico. Also LA County had in place masks starting in April and never relaxed it, so mask-free reopening is bunk because we still got the summer bump.

It appears that there is a correlation between masking and variants, or, maybe it is masking policy and variants
