Pelosi calls McCarthy ‘a moron’ for his mask mandate criticism
CNN —
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy a “moron” after being asked by a reporter about his criticism of the Capitol physician’s mask mandate in the House, another sign of the souring relationship between the two House party leaders.
“He’s such a moron,” Pelosi, a California Democrat, said while getting into her SUV outside the Capitol, when asked about the House minority leader.
Her insult came in response to McCarthy’s criticism in a tweet of new mask mandates in which he said, “Make no mistake — The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state.”
Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill quickly followed up in a tweet, “Unfortunately, we can’t verify this audio because of poor quality, but I can confirm that the Speaker believes that saying a mask requirement is ‘not a decision based on science’ is moronic.”
The Capitol attending physician sent a memo Tuesday with guidance that both vaccinated and unvaccinated lawmakers, staff and other visitors to the Capitol wear masks indoors. The memo also specified the guidance is mandatory in the House side of the Capitol.
“For all House Office Buildings, the Hall of the House, and House Committee Meetings, wearing of a well-fitted, medical grade, filtration face mask is required when an individual is in an interior space and other individuals are present,” the memo said. “To be clear, for meetings in an enclosed US House of Representatives controlled space, masks are REQUIRED.”
Far right openly revolt over mask
Some Republicans – particularly those of the far right and those aligned with former President Donald Trump – have begun to criticize Pelosi, blaming her for the mandate, and are refusing to wear masks on the floor. Their revolt against House rules is the latest example of politicization of health officials’ recommendations related to the coronavirus.
Members found not wearing a mask are subject to a $500 fine, per House rules. The House’s mandate follows the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new recommendation Tuesday that all Americans should mask up indoors, regardless of vaccination status, in areas with “high” or “substantial” Covid-19 transmission.
On Wednesday, GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado threw a mask back at a floor staffer when she was offered one while trying to walk onto the floor maskless, according to a witness account relayed to CNN.
Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, a Republican who has refused to disclose whether he’s been vaccinated against Covid-19 for a CNN survey published last week, called the House mask rules “patently absurd.”
GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Andy Biggs of Arizona were also spotted on the House floor without a mask on Wednesday morning.
Trump consistently undermined masking guidelines through out his presidency, and on Tuesday continued to inflame outrage over mask usage in a statement that said “We won’t mask our children” and “Don’t surrender to COVID. Don’t go back!”
Relationship on the rocks
While Pelosi and McCarthy have never been close, their relationship recently has completely deteriorated amid the fallout from the House select committee to investigate the January 6 Capitol attack.
When CNN asked Pelosi on Tuesday to weigh in on McCarthy saying he didn’t watch the first hearing for the select committee on Tuesday, Pelosi responded: “Anytime you mention his name, you’re not getting an answer from me. Don’t waste my time.”

There seems to have been a recent breakout at a local music venue near me:
www.ksbw.com
I followed the story a bit on IG and talked to some of my friends in the industry. Apparently at least 3 fully vaccinated (double jabbed) band members came down with covid at the beginning of the tour and gave it to some staff and concert goers who were also vaccinated. One friend of mine did a show with them just prior to this show, and he didn't get covid despite being unvaxxed. Go figure.

The owner of the venue has instituted changes for all future indoor concert dates.

Any end up in hospital? Not sure if you are following the science but it is now known that the vaccinated an get the virus but that the immune system is primed to fight the virus and people generally do not end up in hospital. I am sure it was mentioned here once or twice before.There seems to have been a recent breakout at a local music venue near me:

Republican governors revolt against CDC mask guidance
“The CDC’s new guidance suggesting that vaccinated people wear masks indoors flies in the face of the public health goals that should guide the agency’s decision making,” Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) said in a statement. “The State of Nebraska will not be adopting their mask guidance.”
“Public health officials in Arizona and across the country have made it clear that the best protection against COVID-19 is the vaccine. Today’s announcement by the CDC will unfortunately only diminish confidence in the vaccine and create more challenges for public health officials — people who have worked tirelessly to increase vaccination rates,” Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) said in a statement.
Newly revised guidance from the Atlanta-based agency recommends that some fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors if they live in areas where the virus is spreading rapidly.
In comments Wednesday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky acknowledged that Americans are “tired and frustrated” by the pandemic. But the surging delta variant, which is far more transmissible than earlier strains and now makes up the vast majority of new cases diagnosed in the United States, has changed the agency’s best understanding of the science of the virus.
About 46 percent of counties in the U.S. — including much of the South, the Mountain West and the Pacific Coast — are classified as areas with high levels of community transmission. Every county in Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas falls into the category of highest concern, along with all but a few counties in states like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Missouri.
Most of Nevada, Utah and Wyoming are areas of high concern. So are parts of California, much of Indiana and Kentucky, and eastern swaths of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Governors of some of the states at the epicenter of the delta wave said they had no intention of bringing back mask mandates.
“Gov. Abbott has been clear that the time for government mandating of masks is over — now is the time for personal responsibility,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) office said in a statement Tuesday. “Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a mask, or have their children wear masks.”

It's funny, just how many articles and comments have you seen which clearly reflect the fact that....many of those against vaccines literally have no idea how they work. So outspoken, so boisterous, so confident, so passionate, but just no clue about any if it. To be fair, that's also pretty much the typical american in a nutshell, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.

Not that I've heard about specifically yet. In our county we currently have just under 200 active covid cases with 5 hospitalizations, however the data doesn't reveal vaccination status for those hospitalized.

Nova Scotia reported no new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday.
The active caseload in the province is nine, according to a news release.
No one is currently in hospital with COVID-19.
Labs in the province processed 2,704 COVID-19 tests on Tuesday.
We have 84.4 with a single shot and 66.8% with a second shot, and we've had supply issues, but are still going strong on vaccinations.

Here's what our stats look like right now, and this also seems to throw cold water on the idea of anti-vaxx being a right-wing thing, since Santa Cruz is long known for being one of the most liberal counties in the state, if not the country:

That's not true in reality; it's just a tactic used to demonize those on the left who are anti-vax:
