News California indoor Mask Mandate is lifted

[Disney Irish]

That's my fault. I don't really follow basketball, so I don't know the team names.

I do follow mens diving, however.



Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Watch this 2 minute news clip from SoFi last night. Of the few hundred fans and celebs on this video, I can see about three masks being worn. Maybe four if you include that one usher in the background.





Nope. Nope, nope, nope. The statewide and countywide mandates have been made very clear by our leaders. And the stated and repeatedly announced rules for the SoFi Stadium are also very clear. Especially when the roof is closed and it's an Indoor Workplace, as it was at last night's game.

California State Mask Mandate Currently In Effect:
"Masks are required to be worn indoors by all employees and patrons. This is in effect until February 15, 2022.
This mask requirement applies to all workplaces, regardless of whether or not they serve the public, or are open to the public."

County of Los Angeles Mask Mandate Currently In Effect:
EVERYONE, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask:
• In all indoor public settings, venues, gatherings, and public and private businesses in Los Angeles County
• At outdoor Mega Events (events with over 5,000 attendees like concerts, sports games, and parades)

SoFi Stadium Mask Mandate Currently In Effect:

Do you maybe wanna try again? Tell us why Leo Dicaprio can be maskless in a Party Suite, 60,000 out of 80,000 fans in the stands can be maskless, but the family from Utah standing in line for Mr. Toad can't?

Well to be fair Leo has his mask on, it just pulled down in the pic.

As for Disneyland, that has been answered, that is ALL on Disney not because of a state mandate. If you have questions on why they continue to have mask mandates for their parks email TWDC or TDA.

And I've also put my personal stance on this. At this point we can probably end most of the mask mandates and let it be a personal choice if vaccinated, on either side of the equation. We're far enough along in pandemic where it'll be switching to an endemic here soon anyways, probably closer to the fall. And once it does all mandates will likely drop also.

Its funny how a simple piece of fabric, what amounts to basically a garment, has had such an issue.

No I hadn't heard that story about Toads, but its ridiculous how bad its become on both sides.

Thankfully I’ve never witnessed any mask shaming myself, pro or anti, maybe because I live in a tourist area that has a lot of Asian guests we are just used to masks because many Asian guests have worn masks for years here.

At work we’ll enforce our mask policy but I’d never allow another guest to belittle a guest for wearing, or not wearing, a mask. If a guest has a problem they need to let the business know, it’s our job to enforce our policies, not theirs. A guest taking matters into their own hands, even if they were trying to enforce the proper policy would most likely result in the removal of the instigator. In the case of someone belittling someone who’s not breaking any rules the instigator would definitely be removed.

 

[Disney Irish]

Oh yeah. I forgot how if you wear it around your neck it also stops Covid.

Heck, if he'd had a mask pulled down around his neck he may have even survived the Titanic. Live and learn.

If you want to be factual its actually on his chin not his neck, you know like if he had just pulled it down in that moment.

Either way you're judging a man based on a pic that was taken in a millisecond, as if that was what happened 100% of time. We don't know what actually happened the rest of his time at the game outside of that millisecond.

I personally had seen it in a few stores here in the Bay Area at various points in the last 2 years, it was the normal anti-mask rhetoric of "my freedom", etc. But what happened with my friend on Saturday was the worst anyone I had known had seen it at any point in the last 2 years.

Its scary what happens out there sometimes.

I'm not playing this game of "political gotcha", the moment you mention a certain political figure I'm done.

I've given my stance on current mask mandates. You can either take that or leave it.

I don’t think it’s political gotcha as much as hypocrisy gotcha, anytime people are outspoken on a subject and then get caught doing the opposite it’s going to get attention. Not unlike a preacher getting caught in an extramarital affair gets a lot more attention than some random guy down the street doing the same thing.

We all love giving our opinions but those who do it publicly, like celebrities, should be extra cautious to make sure they are doing what they preach though.

 

[Disney Irish]

Just pointing out that your man Leo didn't just happen to pull down his mask "for a millisecond" at the exact same time his photo was taken.


Face it, most of our celebs and leaders are a bunch of hypocritical losers. And none of them are afraid of Omicron, so why should I be?

And I'm fine talking about Leo, but as I said my post which you apparently missed is that the moment you start talking about a certain political figure I'm done. So if you want to talk about Leo I'm fine to continue that conversation.

As for Leo he was in that clip for all of 7-8 second. Again we don't know how long he had his mask down, was it only for that minute or so or was it for 3 hours, we don't know. That is the point, you're judging based on a few moment captured on film. One can presume whatever they want based on that. The fact he still has his mask on his chin though indicates he still pulls it up.

However with that said why is it any surprise that celebrities are hypocrites, no matter how you feel about masks. They are human just like the rest of us and are not infallible.

I had to quote it just to read it again. It has always been about the hypocrisy with me.

Had the post just stuck to Leo, which is who we were talking about, I would have agreed with you. But the moment TP stuck a gab in there for a certain political figure it made it a game of "political gotcha", whether to point about their hypocrisy or not.

 

[Disney Irish]

Well, you can ignore that part of the video if you want. But the NFL announcers really seemed to be into that.

I just don't know who Jessica Alba is, so I was happy to recognize a few of them like Magic Johnson, the Gov, Leo Dicaprio.

Its not about ignoring the video or not. The point is we can talk about celebrity hypocrisy all day if you want, its the talk about a certain political figure that is the issue. I'm trying to walk the fine line of what is allowed and not allowed here so our posts don't get deleted. Its the reason I don't mention that certain political figure anymore, because those posts get deleted. If you don't care have at it, but I won't participate.

The fact this happened in California, a state full of very vocal public figures who like to look down their noses while telling the rest of the country (flyover states) how to live, just makes it more noticeable.

As I said earlier I’ve noticed a serious lack of masks at every game I’ve watched on TV this year whether in CA, FL, here in NV, or anywhere else. CA just stands out more because of how vocal they‘ve been on the subject.

The folks in this video are all Official Good People. They are better than you. They are more enlightened than you. They wouldn't dare set foot in a WalMart or a Chik-Fil-A, and they will make fun of you for doing so at the drop of a hat. They demand that you live a better life and that you pay your fair share. But don't get near them.

At this point it feels like beating a dead horse with a stick though, nothing to gain from continuing.

Hey I understand, but as I just posted I'm trying to walk that fine line of what is allowed and not allowed so it doesn't get deleted. Any mention of a certain political figure gets deleted, even if its a thinly veiled reference. Honestly I'm looking out for both myself and TP here as I rather neither of our posts get deleted.

Any updates on the mask mandate being extended past 15 Feb? I did a quick google and nothing turned up....

There's been nothing officially released yet. Some people believe they won't say anything until it happens because they don't want people cancelling current reservations and pushing them out, thought I don't see how that makes a difference since the tickets are going to have been purchased either way.

Knott’s, SeaWorld drop mask requirements; Universal, Six Flags keep them in place

California will lift a statewide COVID-19 mandate requiring masks indoors after Tuesday, Feb. 15 as coronavirus cases related to the omicron variant continue to decline.

www.ocregister.com

This article gives an idea of what the SoCal parks are doing regarding mandates:

Fully vaccinated Knott’s visitors will no longer be required to wear masks indoors once the state mandate lifts. Face coverings will be required indoors for unvaccinated visitors.

SeaWorld San Diego will drop indoor mask requirements for vaccinated visitors on Feb. 16. Unvaccinated visitors and all SeaWorld employees regardless of vaccination status will still be required to wear masks indoors.

Six Flags Magic Mountain will continue to require face masks indoors for all visitors and employees regardless of vaccination status.

Nothing changes at Universal Studios Hollywood either with the L.A. County indoor mask mandate remaining in place.

Vaccinated Legoland visitors will be allowed indoors without a mask starting on Feb. 15. Legoland employees will continue to be required to wear masks indoors.

Disneyland has not yet announced whether indoor mask requirements will change on Feb. 16.

Disney has historically been behind the curve on announcing what they're doing with mask mandates in Disneyland.

Oddly, they allow all the other SoCal theme parks to announce their intentions, then Disneyland announces something different.

I have to think there's a giant ball of red tape in TDA that all the decision makers get stuck to on stuff like this.

I love how it says that face coverings will continue to be required indoors for Unvaccinated guests. Hysterical!

Speaking of that, the celebrities at SoFi Stadium thing does not get old. It's such a crystal clear example of today.

And anyone who watched the Super Bowl yesterday knows that almost no one in that crowd of over 100,000 had masks on, except the working-class stadium ushers or VIP Suite waiters. Mask up you lowly busboy, or else you're fired!

I chose this little 90 second YouTube compilation because it omits any of the state or local politicians that were also in attendance at the Super Bowl. These are just rich celebs who are better than you, living it up in the largest and most crowded entertainment venue in Lxs Angelxs County.




Meanwhile at Disneyland, yesterday during the Super Bowl...

I love how it says that face coverings will continue to be required indoors for Unvaccinated guests. Hysterical!

With the vaccination rates pushing 80%, seems like it was just be easier to require that at the gate.

I haven't seen or heard of any movement from Disney, toward changing the current policy.

 

[el_super]

OK guess I spoke too soon. Looks like the indoor mask restrictions for unvaccinated guests will end at Disneyland on the 17th.
