Gavin Newsom has imposed a statewide mask order, Californians are not required to wear masks at all times; they can remove them when at home, when alone in a room outside their home, when outdoors and more than 6 feet from others, and when eating or drinking. You cannot, under any circumstances, take it off. Europe tried a scalpel on the second wave. There are a few exceptions, such as for those who are hearing-impaired and rely on lip-reading, or those who have physical or mental health conditions that would be exacerbated by wearing a cloth face mask. Every loss matters, even as numbness sets in.
Silicon valley is exempted from having to wear masks.
