WVU Health Sciences • Wear A Mask 😷
@WVUHealth
Gov. Jim Justice just announced that masks must be worn indoors at all times whenever outside the home, effective 12 a.m. Saturday.

Masks help stop the block of the larger respiratory droplets that COVID-19 spreads in.

Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Stay apart.

1. Been doing it since July and people have pretty much accepted. I do not even see people with it

below the nose anymore.

Still going up, not nearly like the rest of the nation.

5. We've had that order in VA since very early. Still see some penis-noses.

6. ;), lol.

8. Almost everyone I see here wears them, too

We have to wear them the entire time at work, too, unless you have an office with a door and ceiling ie no cubicles. I am very lucky I do, but I am rarely in it.

2. I was going to say something about Sen Manchin, but I'll just say I'm grateful

that this Republican Governor is doing the right thing in THIS particular instance. So, maybe Manchin will feel it "safe" to go along in this case?

3. Sheesh - I sure would hope so.

7. Manchin has already been telling people to wear masks for months

The Republican Governor didn't have much choice at this point .

9. Good to hear. Now, if Manchin would come back to the DEM side on so many other issues.

including those which are demonstrably hurting the people he represents.

[JI7]

11. He is already on the dem side who is from West Virginia

13. I know better from a lifetime of friends, colleagues and their families

as to what has and is hurting WVA and a lot of it is unwillingness to pursue change among both sides of the aisle.

Manchin knows better too. He CAN push the envelope and still remain in office if he were willing to do so. I hope he can find the courage to do so.

12. Your choices are: Manchin; someone just like Manchin; or a Republican.

Manchin is as good as it's going to get. Better to have him caucus with the Democrats and vote with us 30% of the time than to have an actual Republican who would increase the advantage of the GOP and who'd vote with us ZERO percent of the time.

Count your blessings.

14. He has more latitude than he has been willing to pursue.

[NurseJackie]

15. Count your blessings.

10. Amazing how red state governors are now pro-mask

post-election. Republican governors literally lied about basic health guidelines and got people sick and killed because those governors wanted to help Trump get re-elected.

16. The timing IS interesting

We'll see what happens in a couple of months when the Biden administration takes charge the way the Trump administration should have taken charge eight months ago.

17. Does that apply to people driving inside their car?
