Clearly, the people at the Emmys were not breaking the law. That doesn't mean it makes any sense.
Pete, why do people in restaurants, and kid sin schools (vaccinated or not, negative test or not) have to wear masks, but people at the Emmys don't? What's the logic behind that law? Does the virus differentiate between vaccinated restaurant waiters and vaccinated TV producers? Is the virus deterred by having a Screen Actors Guild card?
Or is it because Hollywood is made up of very rich and politically well-connected folks?
In the summer of 2020, I couldn't go to a catholic mass. But I would be allowed to go to a BLM rally, stand shoulder to shoulder with maskless people screaming for dead cops. That was the law.

That would be a question for the LA county board of health
In the summer of 2020, I couldn't go to a catholic mass. You could outdoors or on Zoom, my wife has since the beginning of the pandemic till lately. But the UCC doesn't require you to go to church. But I would be allowed to go to a BLM rally, stand shoulder to shoulder with maskless people screaming for dead cops. That was the law.

Poor victim, probably as worried about that thin blue line as the guys in the Capitol on Jan 6th.

OK. So any direct question which you can't answer honestly without making democrats look foolish, you punt on.
In addition to being the only person here to be banned from starting threads, and the only person here I've seen go after children, you're also a coward.
TDF got it right. You couldn't bring yourself to try to respond.
When your beliefs are so flimsy that they require you to hide under your bed in the face of such a simple question, what does that say about your beliefs? Nothing good.
Quite the resume you've accumulated here, yessir

You are the toughest guy behind a keyboard, aren't you?
My beliefs are that you are responsible for yourself and regardless of what some agency says, you need to do what is best for you and not hurt others.
You are a poor little insecure boy, if your self-worth is determined by someone else's answer on the internet.

no, and neither did you as you share the same cowardice.
if i ask the logic behind it, you can’t answer by saying “it’s the law”, There are laws that are devoid of logic. because not that long ago it was also in keeping with the law when a bus driver told Rosa Parks to get her black azz to the back of the bus. Back then, if i asked you why that was OK, I presume
you would have just said “because it’s the law”, especially because that law was also codified by the party you have declared yourself a concubine to.

This isn't rocket science Jim, the CT departments of education and health reviewed the CDC guidance and determined largely because of Delta and the rapidly raising infections among the young that masks should be worn in schools regardless of vaccination status. The Gov signed the order based on their feedback. There isn't any more to it than that, no grand conspiracy to strip kids of their liberties.

i understand the logic behind wanted kids to wear masks.
But what data can you point me to, which says that those entertainers in California, are meangfully lower risk
than kids who are similarly vaccinated and who similarly have a negative test.
i know, you’re not this stupid. you’re dancing around the only thing that matters.
By what logic do we give more freedoms to entertainers in California than to people
who work in another industry in california, or to children?
my kids are required to socially distance, and to wear masks. those entertainers are not.
Why? if there’s data to suggest that the virus differentiates between actors and everyone else, I’ll happily concede the point.

Many/most kids in schools aren't vaccinated, aren't getting tested every other day and are in school every day. LA's economy is largely built on entertainment, they were working...
This could be your best false equivalence to date.

for the tenth time, i’m talking about kids who are vaccinated, and who have a recent negative test, yet still need to be masked, and who need to socially distance.
