Earlier this month, I asked about new guidance where fully vaccinated people were not required to wear masks indoors. Just as I had serious doubts about that rule, now a new “recommendation” was announced recently by “Bay Area health officials” that
everyone consider wearing face coverings whenever they enter indoor public spaces, regardless of their vaccination status. This extra precaution is not a requirement, but a healthy choice.
If I thought unvaccinated people were not wearing masks then, I’m even more sure that people I encounter indoors not wearing masks are not vaccinated. How does this “recommendation” help at all? I’m genuinely confused by this. Either have a rule that masks are required indoors, or don’t have any rule at all. Am I off base here?

From an email:
Andrew Curley is our new Executive Chef. Pre-pandemic, he spent 2 years running the kitchen of a San Francisco Michelin 3-star restaurant. We could say more, but once you try his food, you’ll know.
Though he left the SF haute cuisine scene behind to join Bierhaus in the burbs, his talent shines on our new menu which includes schnitzel (better than ever), house made spaetzle with whipped ricotta, wood-fired half chicken, farro salad (chef’s kiss), seasonal pierogi, whole Mt Lassen trout with beurre blanc.
