Sorry if this has been posted already.

Looks as though Kentucky has jumped the shark. Judges order 4 people to wear ankle monitors because they refuse to quarantine. At least one has not tested positive and refused to sign quarantine order.

Because 99.99% of people don't have anything you need protection from.

If you need the protection, then you should wear a suitable mask. All of these little cutesy fabric jobs, bandannas, and everything else people are wearing does just about nothing other than the appearance that you're doing something.

And then we have people who THINK they are protecting people with their mask, yet it's under their nose, pulling it off, loose bottom elastic, etc.

Then there's science where wearing a mask can harm you by recirculation.
Or other medical conditions where the restriction of oxygen is not doing them any favors.

Oh, and remember, the masks are one way filters!

The whole mask deal is for optics, too keep people in fear. Must keep them under control.

Yep, still waiting for my membership refund. And my patience with these people is starting to disappear...

I haven't shopped there since they announced the mandatory masks. Going to call and cancel my membership tomorrow. I spent $300 at Sam's Club today, that was money that could've gone to Costco. If I were a stockholder, I would be pretty pissed that this CEO is doing that to my investment.

If I were Sam's Club, I would offer 50% off memberships from people who are current Costco members to get them to switch over. The profits are made from membership dues, sales of products cover expenses.

^^ You realize that they are doing it to keep customers coming in the door right? If most of their customers didn't want to see them 'taking precautions, to make your shopping experience as safe as possible' they wouldn't be doing this shit. They separate customers coming and going with shopping cart baracades, mark off six foot tape for the lines, and stopped checking receipts so everyone feels warm and cozy shopping there. Think TSA security theater.

They are responding to most customers demands.

Wow. Cuomo, Murphy and Lamont are superstars... check out the control they exerted.

My barber shop is opening at midnight, but you have to bring your own mask. The announcement says buffs and bandanas won't cut it.

Bullshit.

So you think they are saving people's lives rather than an illusion of safety?

I’m saying that you saying they’re doing it in response to most “customer demands” is bullshit.

I don't watch TV much, the other day I turned on TV, every single f#$&ing commercial was about how they could do touchless pizza delivery, seals on all manner of food, dive up food services, cars delivered to your house without setting foot in showrooms, xyz company doing this or that to make your shopping experience safer. Every. Damn. Commercial.

Someone is telling them this is what the customers want.

The same 5 Karens calling repeatedly until the leadership is so tired of hearing about it that they institute a "ban" on whatever bullshit they're complaining about. Ever see a parent cave to a kid that keeps screaming until it gets what it wants? No different and it only takes a few. Think about why we had to go to Richmond earlier this year. Do you think it was because a majority of Virginian's wanted gun control or because of a vocal few Liberals supported by big Democrat donors? Those screeching harpies can cause a lot of mayhem.

To that same end, you notice how many commercials specifically try and convince people of "The new normal" we're all apparently supposed to be a part of? Those are the commercials that are really pissing me off given the obvious attempt to re-from public perception to meet an agenda. "Normal" can only change if and when we allow is to change, and nothing that's occurred associated with this stupid bug warrants a change. And I for one am not feeling very cooperative in that goal.

I think Sams is offering basically a free membership. Apparently you pay $45 to get a membership and the first $45 of your purchase is at no charge.

It's an infinite loop of fear. Everyone is feeding off of everyone else's irrational fear. Someone, or more accurately a large group of someones, needs to pull the plug on this leftist, doomsayer, technocrat created hysteria.

A friend of mine just got off of an airplane, and he said there was a large group of asians in full raincoat regalia complete with ski goggles and of course masks. What do you even call that?

If masks work, why do businesses need to be closed?

If they don't work, why are we forced to wear them?

Some of you on here should really pay attention to these questions and figure out some things for yourselves!

Please report to re-education camp 1984; you are displaying dangerous indications of thinking for yourself and using reason together with logic...

Really, why shut down anything ever and stay at home if we can all wander around and be "safe" with a simple mask?

Cuomo reverses course. Cuomo touts New York's decline in hospitalizations, effectively reverses mandate linked to nursing-home deaths

The vast majority of deaths were in nursing homes, instead of using unused Javitz center or Navy ship, he sent them back to die alone in nursing homes. Now he's trying to back track on saying it's the nursing homes job to care for them (they can't, their job is not containing viruses). If they took steps months ago, there would have been far fewer deaths. He effectively said EMTs should be performing brain surgery by sending them back.

Protecting the weakest is the way to save lives, not locking the entire populace up.

Day late, dollar short.
