So Covid Masks at work are now 'Voluntary'.

And it's on a 'take my word for it' policy. Just a I've been vaccinated kinda sign off form you gotta fill out. No proof needs to be presented. Great, just great. This is California with a huge Corporation Nationwide. Can't imagine what the policy is in other states. Stupid. I'm vaccinated and still wear a mask at work since I keep up day to day with the Delta variant and others now going around. A piece of cloth to wear around you mouth and nose while working ... no biggie, like I put on socks every morning on my feet.

Got my Nephew a job there ... who refuses to get vaccinated like his mom (sis) and pop (Trumpers). Haven't talked to those two in a year and a half because of #45. Anyway ... My neph says to me 'he's read too much about the vaccine to not want to get it' .... I told him he is reading the 'wrong stuff' and won't argue with him. He wrote songs growing up about progressive stuff ... 'No Blood For Oil' comes to mind in the Bush years ... on and on ... and he loved my mom and dad (his grandparents WHO BELIEVED IN SCIENCE) to death (WHO VOTED DEMOCRATIC THEIR WHOLE LIVES AND WERE PROGRESSIVE TO THE BONE).

So ... My favorite, most close to immediate relative, who I helped bring up, taught him music, about life friendship on and on etc ... that I looked to as my own son ... is now gone. And it really sucks.

He expressed surprise that people took it that way - but most of the country did (including a significant portion of DU).
