Another Face Mask Hypocrisy Situation

 

Back in 2020 Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey signed a face mask executive order.  It required 

"...individuals to wear face coverings in outdoor public spaces when it is not practicable to socially distance and keep a six-foot distance from others, excluding immediate family members, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners, except where doing so would inhibit that individual’s health, where the individual is under two years of age, or in situations where individuals cannot feasibly wear a face covering, such as when eating or drinking at outdoor dining areas."

 


The rules for indoor public spaces were even more strict.

The image shows Murphy addressing an event which was hosted by a teacher's association (Essex County Education Association). Other images from that event show people taking group pictures and almost nobody wearing a face mask.

I'm not sure if this event is considered indoors or outdoors or if the people sitting at tables had completed eating and drinking but soon after these images appeared at the teacher's union tweeter feed, they were deleted (not soon enough because the images were grabbed). 

The fact that the images were deleted seems to me to indicate that the Association boss(es) realize that this is hypocrisy.
