USFK Drops on Base Mask Requirement

There are still a few areas where masks are required like the CDC and medical facilities, but for most areas on post masks are not required as of this week:

The U.S. military in South Korea dropped its mask mandate Monday on its installations as cases of COVID-19 continue to decline throughout the country.

Masks are no longer required on any U.S. installation or facility, although individual commanders may mandate them in high-traffic indoor areas, such as gyms, commissaries, libraries and similar facilities, according to an announcement by U.S. Forces Korea on its website.

USFK personnel are advised to consult their garrisons for exceptions to the updated policy.

Anyone affiliated with the U.S. military must still wear a mask while outside U.S. installations. South Korea requires people to wear face masks while outdoors and indoors in public.

Defense Department schools on U.S. bases in South Korea are also doing away with the mask requirement starting Wednesday, although students may choose to wear masks at school or on school buses, according to memos from individual school principals.

Let me get this straight in case I missed something.

USFK is dropping mask requirements while cases are at almost record high after two years of constant scolding?

Is this because we have known for two years that masks do nothing, and even if they did, nobody knows how to properly wear them so they do nothing… but it doesn’t matter because everyone is vaccinated, although with a vaccine that doesn’t work except some vague promise that it reduces the risk of hospitalization and death… but it doesn’t matter because the military demographic is the most unlikely to die of covid but the most likely to die from the vaccine…

…so basically, two years and billions of dollars later, we are back where we started with absolutely nothing to show for it except social wreckage and stupid looks.

Do all of you accept this as normal behavior?

Are these clowns all fùcking stupid?

…but they get an A for consistency… kinda feels like the war in Afghanistan if the enemy had spike proteins instead of goats on their dìcks.
