    That's what ketchup is for...

    Back to the Wuhan coronavirus: How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?

    Apparently the CDC is messing up again- conflating viral and anti-body test reporting, which give very different meanings.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic.

    That might work at a place where decisions are actually made, Costco is just minions administering policies from a far away
    Corporate behemoth. As idiotic as these policies are, it is their store their rules. I hope some of these stores with the mask policy get sued by folks that believe they got sick from wearing a mask as is quite possible...

    I don't think the "Covidiot" in the video is the employee...but there is one.

    The first thing that comes to mind is that this guy isn't just shopping at a store - he's shopping at a store where he has paid for a membership!

    He has a contract with them to be able to pay for goods and services and he paid money for it.

    I doubt the contract has a "plague" clause in it, which means that Costco is violating their contract by denying him the right to shop there.

    Just a thought.

    Regards,

    Try again, freedom fighter. :):

    Costco reserves the right to refuse membership to any applicant and membership may be terminated at Costco's discretion and without cause.

    You're right, except that he is already a member and remains a member. That employee did not terminate his membership that I saw, and I doubt the would have the authority to do so.

    What if a brand new store opened up and for some strange reason they said everybody has to wear safety glasses or some kind of safety glasses or eye protection, to shop there?
    (I mean just any old glasses - I don't want to get into two pages of defining "safety".)

    Would some people think that is violating their constitutional rights?

    Is it violating constitutional rights? No.

    Is it necessary? That decides whether it's a reasonable policy. If it's an unreasonable policy, I'll shop elsewhere and direct the family to follow.
    The theater of requiring a mask that can not stop virus sized particles is the equivalent of requiring people change their forum avatar to have a transparent flag over it after a disaster.
