Multiple counties in California have started recommending masks indoors,
amid a four-fold spike in some areas.
Health officials in three Bay Area counties are urging residents to wear >well-fitting masks, such as N-95s or K-95s, in public indoor spaces like >restaurants and grocery stores.
The health department in Contra Costa county, just outside of San
Francisco, said the recommendation comes as cases quadrupled from May 9
to July 9.
However, rates have plateaued since then, according to wastewater data,
and hospitalizations and deaths have remained at historic lows.
The amount of positive Covid tests in California have increased by one >percent in the past week. In some areas, cases quadrupled earlier in the >summer

Nearby San Francisco and Marin counties have also recommended masking in >public areas amid a steady rise in cases.
Dr Ori Tzvieli, Contra Costa County health officer, said: 'Face masks
are an effective tool to reduce the spread of the virus, particularly
for those who are at risk for serious illness when there is evidence of >elevated COVID-19 activity in the community.'
'This is one of those times. Our health system is not seriously impacted
by COVID currently, and our goal is to keep it that way.'
Most health agencies in the Bay Area lifted their mask mandates by
February 2022.
The new recommendation is not required and is up to personal preference.
Evidence about whether masks actually prevented infections during the
Covid pandemic are mixed.
A gold standard analysis of 78 studies and 1million people back in 2023
found face coverings made 'little to no difference' to Covid infection
or death rates.

Contra Costa county only requires health care workers to mask
seasonally, from November 1 to April 30, to reduce the spread of Covid, >influenza, and RSV.
Will you mask up again?
Yes
No
Only in crowds
As of July 29, the latest data available, 13 percent of nearly 9,000
tests in the area came back positive, a one percent increase from the
week before.
Dr Sofe' Mekuria, Contra Costa County deputy health officer, told local
news station KRON4 that the area is mainly seeing cases of the 'FLiRT' >strains, a variation of Omicron responsible for most infections across
the US.
Meanwhile, deaths in California have neared historic lows, with just
four deaths reported the week of July 29, half that from this time last
year.
Nationwide, 304 deaths from Covid were reported to the CDC during the
same week, a 46 percent drop from this time last year. In early 2021,
during peak pandemic, over 26,000 deaths were reported to the CDC.
Dr Mekuria noted that while hospitalizations and deaths have remained
steady, vaccination rates in the area are declining.
'We do anticipate a new COVID vax that will have newer strains of COVID
that should be coming out this summer or early fall. Potentially as soon
as this September,' she said.
The recommendations come after recent research has suggested that masks
may no longer be as effective as they were earlier in the pandemic.
Researchers at the University of East Anglia, for example, found in a
May study that masks' protective effect seemed to disappear in February
2022, around the same time that California lifted its mandates.
The team believed this was due to the Omicron variant, which later
mutated into FLiRT, being too infectious for masks to prevent it.
Contra Costa residents told KRON4 that despite the recommendations, few >people were actually wearing masks.
'I do sometimes see people wearing masks. It's few and far between.
Usually older people,' resident Connie Koplan said.

Shame on andrew, look at his red face.
He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
'14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'
Psalms
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: >open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Proverbs
13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of >the wicked is in need.
Joel
2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
Psalms
107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Acts
14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by >giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with food and gladness."
someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:

Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:
John wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an ongoing >> status. He includes himself in that status.
1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, >> and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is >> not in us.

In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).
Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
"convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?

for those who are at risk for serious illness when there is evidence of >>>> elevated COVID-19 activity in the community.'
'This is one of those times. Our health system is not seriously impacted >>>> by COVID currently, and our goal is to keep it that way.'
Most health agencies in the Bay Area lifted their mask mandates by
February 2022.
The new recommendation is not required and is up to personal preference. >>>>
Evidence about whether masks actually prevented infections during the
Covid pandemic are mixed.
A gold standard analysis of 78 studies and 1million people back in 2023 >>>> found face coverings made 'little to no difference' to Covid infection >>>> or death rates.
Deaths and hospitalizations in California continue declining, according >>>> to wastewater data

Contra Costa county only requires health care workers to mask
seasonally, from November 1 to April 30, to reduce the spread of Covid, >>>> influenza, and RSV.
Will you mask up again?
Yes
No
Only in crowds
As of July 29, the latest data available, 13 percent of nearly 9,000
tests in the area came back positive, a one percent increase from the
week before.
Dr Sofe' Mekuria, Contra Costa County deputy health officer, told local >>>> news station KRON4 that the area is mainly seeing cases of the 'FLiRT' >>>> strains, a variation of Omicron responsible for most infections across >>>> the US.
Meanwhile, deaths in California have neared historic lows, with just
four deaths reported the week of July 29, half that from this time last >>>> year.
Nationwide, 304 deaths from Covid were reported to the CDC during the
same week, a 46 percent drop from this time last year. In early 2021,
during peak pandemic, over 26,000 deaths were reported to the CDC.
Dr Mekuria noted that while hospitalizations and deaths have remained
steady, vaccination rates in the area are declining.
'We do anticipate a new COVID vax that will have newer strains of COVID >>>> that should be coming out this summer or early fall. Potentially as soon >>>> as this September,' she said.
The recommendations come after recent research has suggested that masks >>>> may no longer be as effective as they were earlier in the pandemic.
Researchers at the University of East Anglia, for example, found in a
May study that masks' protective effect seemed to disappear in February >>>> 2022, around the same time that California lifted its mandates.
The team believed this was due to the Omicron variant, which later
mutated into FLiRT, being too infectious for masks to prevent it.
Contra Costa residents told KRON4 that despite the recommendations, few >>>> people were actually wearing masks.
'I do sometimes see people wearing masks. It's few and far between.
Usually older people,' resident Connie Koplan said.
In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).
Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
"convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and
self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry (
https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ >>> ) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
I am wonderfully hungry!
While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no
COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)
Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy
Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to
always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways
including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with
all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in
the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
Laus DEO !
