SENATE BILL: Mask Mandate Act (Passed)

[Pericles]

Can we please have some more urgency on this? If people need my help then PM me and I'll see what I can do.

[Pericles]

Ok I've discussed this with the Attorney General and I think the bill as it stands is the best approach to take.

[Pericles]

Are there any specific health recommendations irl on masks in cars, either from the US or other countries? It does seem sensible to me, as it's the same logic as public transport and we want to prevent spread between households.

[Pericles]

Aye

Re: Cars it also makes sense to me. The aim is to limit transmission between people and masks in cars are a good way.

In theory masks even at home would be even more effective but that is impossible to control or enforce obviously

It's probably unrealistic to try and prevent spread within a household. If it gets really bad maybe we could have some non-binding recommendations in that area, I think Deborah Birx said something about that. However what we should focus on now that cases and deaths are low is limiting spread between households, so our suppression strategy can succeed.
