Hollywood studio Lionsgate brings back mask mandate amid Covid spike

How does that make sense if cases are rising? If current vaccinations and natural immunity were sufficient, cases wouldn’t be rising.

And while cases overall are less serious, that doesn’t mean you’re not playing roulette when you get it. I have a friend whose heart was damaged by omicron and it will affect the rest of her life. She’s only in her 30’s.

A lot of employees out sick = less work being done

Less severe symptoms doesn't mean they are still showing up to work.

I'm 2+1 and tested positive for COVID last week. Immunity wanes.

Both Eris and Fornax can make people pretty sick, even though they're not causing a lot of deaths. Once the new Moderna vaccine is out, if people get it, that should help.

But we're also starting to see flu and RSV cases, and masks help prevent those from spreading as well.

It doesn't really matter which respiratory virus is keeping a quarter of your people home sick, or home with their sick kids, or being at work but miserable and useless and infecting others, it's still going to mess with your ability to get shit done.
