COMPLY with all this or you will be expelled. If you pop positive, they immediately report you (by name) to the State of NY Health Dept (HIPA, anyone?) My child is a Senior so we are stuck in the Lunacy Loop up there for 5 more months in the land of Academia Idiots. NYC has mandatory mask and vax orders for businesses and restaurants. Michigan still has Lock Down orders in effect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the 'Rona is not a threat...but so is the Flu, many thousands die from it each year, but the Flu Shot is still voluntary, isn't it?
Meanwhile, in Texas, life goes on. Get the vax if you want to. Wear a mask if you want to. Freedom to choose. Businesses are open and PROHIBITED from mandating masks...but you can wear one if you so desire.
