(John Solomon) Oregon is considering indefinitely mandating masks and social distancing in all businesses, cutting an opposite path from other states that are easing pandemic rules as vaccinations grow.
by John Solomon, April 17th, 2021
The liberal state would keep the rules in force until they are “no longer necessary to address the effects of the pandemic in the workplace,” according to the proposal.
Michael Wood, administrator of the state’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health, told The Associated Press the move is necessary to address a technicality in state law that requires a “permanent” rule to keep current restrictions from expiring.
Wood’s effort has generated significant backlash, including a petition with 60,000 signatures.
“When will masks be unnecessary? What scientific studies do these mandates rely on, particularly now that the vaccine is days away from being available to everyone?” Republican state Sen. Kim Thatcher asked. “Businesses have had to play ‘mask cop’ for the better part of a year now. They deserve some certainty.”

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
