Running the air conditioning and heating less. Needing less artificial light.
Lower AC and heating costs? That's a CFO's dream on saving $$ and increasing profits.
If someone is there and can look I'd imagine that it says who the bus is operated by on the side near the front.
Yet another example of a "news" article twisting facts to create a narrative.Airlines that dropped mask requirements are now suffering staff shortages due to COVID-19
EasyJet said it had to scrap hundreds of flights due to staffers being infected with COVID-19.
If they were RCID, they'd have Yellow government plates.
What I've seen is that when people wear a mask a high percentage don't cover caughs or sneezes at all. They seem to think the mask takes care of it.I have no strong opinion about masks beyond wearing one for myself if the benefit outweighs the risk for us. We've been burned before getting sick on vacation and it sucked. I have a feeling our lucky streak might end this time but we can't stop living life. I did secretly like that masks force people to cover their mouths to cough or sneeze lol. Uncovered sneezes during long indoor lines are fun

Everyone saw this coming. With most of these lawsuits the mandate will probably be lifted by the time there’s a decision. I understand they have to fight it though.Suit seeks to overturn renewed Philadelphia mask mandate
Philadelphia businesses and residents are seeking to overturn Philadelphia's renewed indoor mask mandate through the courts.
I think China is just doing as they have done before...trying to keep it to close to zero by any means necessary. I don't know how much immunity they have really built up by doing this for so long...outside of vaccines...
From what I've read it's because of the Omicron variant and how transmissible it is. They also have a relatively low vaccination rate in their most vulnerable age group and many were vaccinated with the Sinovac vaccine, which isn't as effective against Omicron as other vaccines.
Is China fighting the same variant as we are, or is there a new, more dangerous variant on its way to the US?
Same omicron variants. Some worry that they will spark another bad one. Not all agree.
Agreed.
This... they tried so hard to do covid zero and their most at risk population is not as trusting of western medicine. So not as vaccinated and not using as effective vaccines too.

This has to do with population density in major cities.There is some reporting to suggest that a "typical" Omicron boom/bust wave could cause a million or more deaths in China:
Will Omicron finally overpower China’s COVID defences?
The country needs to control the virus until it has boosted vaccination rates in elderly people and reinforced the health-care system.
They have the ability to do whatever they want, so they do. Making people leave their pets to be disposed of, forcibly removing people from apartments so they can put all COVID positive people in one building, all kinds of craziness.
And I care for selfish reasons.
