Lionsgate Rolls Out New Mask Mandate…

Let the games begin!

Don’t tell me you thought that we were over this whole charade… we’ve got big things coming up, you know!

That only means one thing: it’s time to start stirring the pot…

From the Daily Wire:

Lionsgate film studio announced it would reinstate mask mandates in parts of its Santa Monica, California offices.

The response manager for Lionsgate/Starz, Sommer McElroy, said in a written statement that the masking policy would be “effective immediately” and will continue “until further notice.” Deadline reported that almost half of the company’s employees work at their flagship office at 2700 Colorado Avenue. The policy will be effective on the 3rd and 5th floors of the five-story building, according to an email cited by the outlet.

“Employees must wear a medical grade face covering (surgical mask, KN95 or N95) when indoors except when alone in an office with the door closed, actively eating, actively drinking at their desk or workstation, or if they are the only individual present in a large open workspace,” McElroy said, per Fox News.

Lionsgate will also have a “building entry policy” which requires employees “to perform a daily self-screening prior to coming to the office each day.” Workers must also notify the company of any “new or worsening symptoms” or if they “traveled internationally in the last 10 days.” 

The company will perform contact tracing and notify “all individuals who have been in close contact with employees who have tested positive for COVID-19,” the statement continued. She said these mandates come as several employees tested positive for COVID.

The decision to reinstate mask mandates at Lionsgate comes as speculation that similar policies would be returning nationwide as variant EG.5 becomes more prevalent in the United States.

A study from 2021 conducted by the University of Louisville using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that “80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic,” but while “mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima).”

It’s fine, guys… Covid only lives on the 3rd and 5th floors.

I feel like that might have cut into the credibility just a smidge.

People with backbones have to remember they’ve got ’em this time. If my school decides to start enforcing jib jabs and face diapers, then I’m making like Jimmy Hoffa…

I’ll either find some work to do, or I’ll find myself a nice, comfy, conservative online learning format. Either way, you can bet you’re a$$ I won’t be continuing with that bullsh*t… No, thank you. I got my fill the first time around.

The only thing that seems to be plentiful these days is a distraction. The ol’ bait and switch. There’s shady stuff happening, but they figure if they can pull an N-95 over your eyes, maybe you won’t notice.

Your energy and attention are powerful commodities. Be careful where you spend them…
