As summer draws to a close and a new variant of Covid circulates, health experts are urging the public to reinitiate safety measures, beginning with the use of masks.
Concerns arise over a potential surge in Covid cases following the Labor Day weekend, a time of heightened social gatherings featuring parties, parades, and festivities.
Patrick Gallahue from the New York City Department of Health, in an exclusive statement to Daily Express US, emphasized, “With the rise in cases, the importance of precautions escalates, particularly for our most at-risk New Yorkers – the elderly, disabled individuals, and those with underlying health conditions.”
He added, “Remaining updated with Covid vaccinations and employing proven preventive measures such as wearing masks, undergoing testing, and staying home while unwell, continue to serve as our primary defenses against Covid and other respiratory viruses.”
CDC representative Scott Pauley communicated to Daily Express US that the CDC advises all individuals to ensure their vaccination status is current before embarking on travels.
Pauley stated, “In crowded or inadequately ventilated indoor settings, including public transportation and transport hubs, anyone is free to opt for mask usage at any given time.”
Anticipating Labor Day weekend, experts anticipate a potential upsurge in Covid cases as people congregate on beaches to commemorate the conclusion of summer alongside friends and family.

We need every excuse to allow full-blown mail in ballots and ballot harvesting, so that the Dems can cheat once again. That’s all this “surge” is about…
I just contracted Covid Friday. I’m sitting here moaning in pain and discomfort. And my mother had Covid a week or two ago. So there is definitely a slight uprise in Covid.
Masks are not a proven preventive measure. It’s like trying to stop a flood with a chain link fence.
Don’t comply!
Health officials as usual are late to the party. My whole extended family has covid right now from different sources. We are way OOT (this is only our first & second times getting it) so once it gets here it’s out of control in NYC. Schools just started, it’s labor day weekend, the tests aren’t as effective on the new strain, and I suspect there is some asymptomatic transmission. If you are vulnerable wear a mask, ask others to mask around you (especially your medical care providers), and stay home if you can.
Symptoms to look for are stomach issues, high fever, & dry cough. The symptoms are not all at the same time. If you are vulnerable and experiencing these symptoms ask your doctor about paxlovid. (This is not an ad and I am not a doctor.)
Stay well! ❤️
My wife got Covid last week. Big deal, she was weak and she couldn’t smell. Almost all better today. What a joke. If you know what to take and what not to take (mask??!). You’d think we got smarter by now.
They totally mistreated and killed people in 2020, 2021, with the way they handled Covid.
Masks have NEVER been proven efficient not even scientifically.
A bunch of bull. This means one thing and one thing only: The stinkin politicians are up to something
Be aware. Do NOT comply. They’re such liars and control freaks. Remember how NOT ONE OF THEM wore masks and had parties and appeared in public.
Sorry “Health Department”, we’re not stupid, leave us alone
Please feel free not to post!
The headline “not again”Doesn’t seem to be appropriate to me. Unless you’re quoting from big doctors please don’t put in your own opinions that can dissuade people from listening to Heath professionals.
“Don’t Comply”
Shomer Shabbat: There is nothing to “comply” with. Public health professionals are recommending that if you are elderly or immune compromised, or if you will be in close proximity to a family member in that demographic, wearing a mask is a common sense idea. There is NO REQUIREMENT to do so. This is a common sense precaution and doesn’t provide 100% protection but does materially reduce risk.
If you don’t really care about family and friends at risk, than clearly its within your discretion to not wear a mask since I’m sure they will be mochel you if you inadvertently infect them .
SACT5: Don’t mask up. Masks never helped anything, and they might even cause cancer.
As the saying goes “Fool Me Once, Shame on You; Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me…”
” Masks never helped anything, and they might even cause cancer…”
SACT5: So do windmills (according to Trump) and taking seriously the rants of mindless yidden on social media.
Wow!
Some of these guys are still so backwards…..
In 2023, some ppl still fall same stupidity.
Some of the posters here STILL actually think this stuff is real
They think everything causes cancer…
Here’s how I view masks, they obviously aren’t 100% effective, and it depends on the type of mask, if it’s worn properly, etc. but they still help.
Think of it like sunscreen. If you use spf 45 and sit in the sun for 2 hours you’ll likely prevent sunburn. If you use spf 15 and sit in the sun all day you’ll likely still get sunburned.
Masks are like sunscreen they help prevent covid a little and are better than nothing. No one out and about in society right now has a chance of avoiding infection but hopefully it will be mild.
My suggestion is for immunocompromised people who aren’t able to avoid places like public transit, the grocery store, or the doctors office to put on a mask in those places. Let’s say it decreases your risk of catching covid by 10% that’s better than nothing.
I wear a mask around my elderly parents indoors when there is a spike in cases bc they are immunocompromised. I don’t sit around my house in one or wear one in public anymore.
The politicians aren’t making this up. They monitor wastewater to track covid cases and the increase shown in the data mirrors what I’m seeing among people I know.
People are so gullible. At least now I know who the brainwashed sheep are, they are the ones still wearing masks in 2023.
At least I have something to laugh about as I drive by these brain dead people driving alone still wearing masks. The science is in (it’s been in since 2020 but we weren’t allowed to believe it or share it) -masks don’t work. Stop falling for this nonsense
shtus, masks are very efficient. and there is no proof that they give cancer. the regular masks that you wear don’t protect you they protect other people. the only mask that protects you is a kn-95 or n-95
