high school graduations will happen this year in the traditional form but
all outdoors. The CDC is expected to announce new mask guidance tomorrow

Thanks for that Henry.

That outdoor mask mandate business slays me.  Estimate pls what percentage
of proles complied with that?  I wasn't aware until a few days ago that
California had an outdoor mask mandate.  I never wore one, never had anyone
comment at the time.

Anyone with any common sense realized from the start that outdoor masks are
pointless.  I saw plenty of people driving alone in a car with a mask.  That
is just silly and possibly dangerous, if the mask traps too much exhaled
CO2.  I saw plenty of people exercising alone outdoors with a mask.  After a
while I began to suspect it was a symbol of alliance rather than an actual
device for stopping contagion.
