NYC Health Officials Urge Residents To Mask Up Amid “Tridemic”
By Tyler Durden
A ‘tridemic‘ of flu, RSV, and Covid-19 cases have led New York City health officials to ‘strongly’ recommend that people wear ‘a high-quality mask, such as a KN95 or KF94, or an N95 respirator’ indoors and in crowded outdoor settings.
On Friday, the city’s health commissioner, Dr. Ashwin Vasan, recommended that New Yorkers get vaccinated and boosted, and wear a mask whenever ‘inside stores, lobbies, hallways, elevators, public transportation, schools, child care facilities and other shared spaces.”

Masks will remain voluntary except in health care facilities such as nursing homes, where mask mandates are still enforced.
Of course, there’s plenty of evidence masks provide minimal, if zero benefit.
