Now if only employers would say that.

Well change jobs then if you can. Most employers allow an exemption. Did you ever get wheeze as a child playing sports at school? Well then you are asthmatic and can claim exemption. Get anxiety attacks? You are neurodiverse or depressed or aomething. There are loopholes if you look hard for them

What I love is how the surgical masks all have a "this mask won't protect you from COVID" statement on the box so they can't be sued. The same reason all the stores are wanting you to wear masks: so they can't get sued. We should just call them lawsuit masks at this point.

That's exactly what they are...

I don't like them, but I don't mind them because businesses don't want to have bad optics (bad for business) and they don't want sued..

Or perhaps businesses are worried about losing the business of those who won't patronize them if they don't feel safe in their establishments? Loss of revenue is a bigger risk than potential law suits in this instance.

I wear one... I don't know if it does anything good or bad.. but.. I can now do things that I couldn't do before.. due to the optics... To me.. that's what it is..... Optics. Oh, and legal fine print which basically runs the world.

They can't claim any more without specific-use FDA certification for that particular manufacturer--which FDA won't approve for surgical masks (not even for those being used in hospitals).

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. -- Matthew 24

Many people aren't familiar with the use of the subjunctive mood in English, but that sentence says deception of the truly elect ("very" means "truly") is not possible. The elect will not be deceived.

This does not say, "Those who know koine Greek will not be deceived." It does not say, "Those who follow the right teaches will not be deceived." It says that the elect will not be deceived.

That includes the guy who just got saved last night and the woman who just got saved that morning. Nobody in whom the Holy Spirit abides will be deceived because the Holy Spirit will inform them of the danger in the critical moment.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" -- Genesis 3

Satan is more clever than any human being. Nobody in his own human understanding can outwit Satan or see through his devices. Everything you've heard identifying the "mark of the beast" is wrong. Even if someone had somehow figured it out, Satan would simply change the plan--who thinks he's not clever enough to change his own tactics?

The only Person on earth who can catch Satan by surprise is the Holy Spirit. The only Person on earth who can make Satan say, "I didn't see that coming" is the Holy Spirit. We only know his schemes when we are listening to the Holy Spirit.
