LA County Department of Public Health Defends the Emmys' Maskless Event
They believe that there are exceptions on certain occasions.
Have you ever noticed that in the past year and a half, our politicians have set rules for us to follow while the covid pandemic was going on. They forced us to shut down our businesses, social distance, mask up, and follow other protocols. But have you ever noticed that some of these politicians don’t even follow their own guidelines? For example, last year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was caught having her hair done (while businesses were closed in San Francisco) and not wearing a mask in a hair salon. She preaches to the country telling to them to mask up and follow social distancing guidelines, but yet she doesn’t practice what she preaches. Now, I bring this up because last night (or on Sunday), the Emmy’s were on and it looks like that all or most actors/actresses were not following LA County health orders.
LA County Department of Public Health requires everyone to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination (with exceptions of course). They even require masks at big outdoor events such as concerts and sports games. The Emmys were held in Los Angeles. Why weren’t they following LA health protocols?
As soon as the Emmys were catching heat for that, the LA Department of Health came to their defense and stated they were not in violation of the mask mandate because there are exceptions for film, TV, and music productions.
Hmm… Rules for thee but not for me right? Why is that wealthy people or people of elite status are always exempt from covid protocols? If you have read the book, “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell, you would understand the concept of this book (which by the way, I’m reading that book right now and I’m halfway done with it). I bring this book up because Orwell warned us about how there are people (elitists and politicians specifically) who have more rights and privileges than the rest of society. For example, at the end of chapter 3, when the pigs were caught having the milk and apples to themselves, they manipulated the animals by using fear tactics into justifying them reserving the milk and apples to themselves. Now with the Emmys situation, the LA Department of Health tried (and failed) to justify the Emmys’ maskless event by stating how they are exempt and how they exceeded health protocols since they fall under the tv and film productions exception. In their letter, the LA County used words such as “exceptions” and “exceeded” to attempt to manipulate us into understanding and agreeing with why they exempted the Emmys from the basic protocols.
Unfortunately for them, nearly no one was buying that. People have suffered for a year and a half from the pandemic. Not from covid necessarily, but not being able to operate their businesses, to enjoy outdoor festivities, to being mandated to mask up and social distance, and to live life like the way it was before March 2020. When will society realize that we are not equal to politicians and the elites like Hollywood? They set rules for us, but they have different rules for themselves. We are truly living in an Animal Farm society, and it’s time for that to stop.
