HSBC Brings Back Masks and Daily Covid Tests for Employees Amidst “Surge in U.S. Covid Infections”
Banking corporation HSBC has reintroduced daily testing and masks in its New York office after a rise in reported U.S. Covid infections, in an ominous sign that many people have no intention of leaving the ’emergency’ Covid measures behind. Here’s the Telegraph:
Major companies are eyeing new measures to stop the spread of the virus at workplaces. At the end of last month, an average of 110,000 Covid cases had been reported each day in the U.S., according to a New York Times database, while hospitalisations were up 29% to around 26,100 per day.
As a result of the rising cases, sources said HSBC has now asked its New York-based staff to put their masks back on and conduct daily tests, a decision which one source said coincided with a visit from senior management last week.
A HSBC insider said the bank “adjusted precautions on the back of an increase in Covid cases” and the guidance “remains in place as numbers are still high”.
Fresh concerns about rising cases come at an awkward time for Wall Street bank bosses, who have been urging people to get back to work for months as figures show that just 40% of office staff in the city have returned.
The Telegraph feverishly reports the news under the heading “HSBC brings back masks and daily testing as U.S. cases soar“.
Soar, really? Here are the latest U.S. infection data.
No soaring there. The latest ripple looks already to be petering out. Why do newspapers, even now, spread unnecessary alarm about Covid?
What about New York? The same picture – nothing of consequence, just a ripple of summer sniffles.
If these are the conditions under which employers are going to resort to making serious impositions on personal liberty – requiring prolonged wearing of unhygienic face coverings and medical interventions in the form of diagnostic tests – then it’s hard to see how the world will ever move on from the Covid hysteria.

They never give up, do they?
Not when there’s money to be made out of the poor.
then it’s hard to see how the world will ever move on from the Covid hysteria.
Or, indeed, any other hysteria. Perhaps the Bank could offer all its employees parasols because of the danger from sunburn in summer…?
What about if the wind blows on them?
Climate crisis!
BTW HSBC is somehow managing to encourage it’s staff to buy Teslas using the tax dodge called salary sacrifice.
I notice there’s already noise about rolling power cuts this autumn and winter, I would imagine the ‘noise’ will increase over the next few months so they are seen as an inevitability by October. It will be interesting to see if the sale of EVs increase next year….. Bring it on
Well at least you can use you EV as a battery to power a house.
I’d by a “hybrid” you can use it to power things from recycled plant food (oil).
They would take them off the employees when it rained though.
A Fact Check would be produced to inform everyone it wasn’t raining.

FFS. Not going to attract much of an audience after the covid fiasco. Even the faithful are beginning to smell the coffee.
He does love them, doesn’t he. Perhaps we could have an introductory session in which Mein Herren Whitty, Fergusohn and the rest of the pack tell us how they couldn’t have possibly contributed to this in any way.
I didn’t think that the Union flags on London streets were especially like any in Germany in the Thirties and war years, but, looking at this Great Dictator with his half-salute and rabid look, a couple of those old German flags really deserve to replace the Union ones behind him.
I did think it looked more “Springtime for Boris” than proper Natsoc.
Ze Germans had Hugo Boss, Britain’s Great Pisstaker has Carrie.

Cost of living crisis that Johnson created.
I, for one, will most certainly not be watching. What would be the point?
Is he doing this because he seems to be mired in the manure, facing a likely leadership challenge or vote of no confidence (bring that on and soon!) and thinks it somehow makes him look Presidential or Churchillian or something like that?
one slight problem is if his lordship is ousted, you can see a chain of consequences leading to a far left starmer government, imagine them with the harms bill as well as the crime and sentencing bill and anything else they would like to pass.
im sure millions will tune in to see what a bellend, I mean great prime minster Johnson is
Nothing to do with ‘vaccinations’ at all………
Hopefully!
Here we go again!
That “vaccine” stuff seems to be doing a magnificent job of nothing.
I would wager that few if any of the unjabbed are getting ill or going to hospital.
The reason I would ve willing to make a heavy bet on it is that, were it the case, they would be making a huge deal out of it.
Does a back injury from too much sex count as “ill”?
I swear it has rotted a few brains … although many who took the jab were quite doolally before.
I read somewhere when this all started that they wanted 10 years of hysteria and disruption to make people so dispirited they would accept their ‘new normal’ as a kind of ‘getting back to normal’, they think it’s that easy.
Not in my backyard
Are they going to daily test for moneypox too. 😉
Moneypox? Is that a new disease that infects our dosh and renders it worthless?
No change there then.
😀 😀

Professor E. Alphandery justifies the presence of graphene in Covid “vaccines”
There is this research done with an electron microscope which also finds carbon/oxygen materials in the vaxes (most probably graphene)

This time from Daniel Nagase, who worked with the Canadian doctor who exposed the high death rates in newborns in a maternity hospital. This doctor was interneded in a mental health facility. Nagase is his friend.

Thanks so much for including the transcript. I’d skimmed through the Nagase interview already, but it’s worth me taking a more another look at it, i think. He’s done some really good work on other aspects of the vax/Covid hoax, such as the skyrocketing miscarriages in parts of Canada.
The creator of the original PCR test didn’t bother applying for a patent because allegedly he felt that the test was useless, however the link below does show interest from elsewhere

I don’t know whether another test has been created since 2020
Let’s not get too carried away. This is the wokest bank in the wokest city on Earth. You won’t find a more hysterical combination. Those offices are likely staffed with some of the most insane, neurotic and stupid people on the planet.
Yep – sounds just like the UK parliament!
The DT is a real rag these days. I paid for a subscription with the sole purpose of using the comments section to contradict all their never-ending, hysterical, emotion-driven propaganda; whether it be Covey or the war, they have absolutely lost their heads. Anyway, can’t do that now as their Thought Police banned me. Again. Like women though, it seems that we can’t live with them, can’t live…. nope, just can’t live with them.
Daily new “cases” of SARSCoV2 infection and daily deaths “with” Covid-19 are both falling in the USA. “Cases” did increase a bit earlier this month, but they’ve been falling for about a week.

Yawn. Just tell them you’re exempt from wearing a mask and can’t be tested for covid.

New York is a basket case of covid hysteria.
I was there a couple weeks ago, and my anecdotal sense is that’s not the case as much as I would have expected. For context, I live in a city in Texas, so I’ve grown used to essentially zero requirements for mask wearing (outside the federal mandate for mass transit and airports, which was only recently struck down by a judge in mid-April 2022). My sense of New York: Zero required mask-wearing among patrons by private businesses. Also happily don’t recall any business (restaurants, bars, stores) where staff were all wearing masks. Very strong majority were not, and any doing so didn’t appear to be forced Marks still required on mass transit (by local New York authorities, since the federal mandate isn’t in effect). Compliance on the subway was high (over 50%) but far from universal. Didn’t see any attempts to enforce mask-wearing. Some voluntary mask-wearing by people either in businesses or even on sidewalks, but really not that much. Strong majority of people not wearing marks. Did not get asked to show proof of vaccination anywhere. Above observations are from time spent primarily in various neighborhoods of Brooklyn (also a little bit in Manhattan), so can’t simply be chalked… Read more »
My two children, 9 and 11, visited the local charity run swimming pool. A lovely old Victorian bath house, a really beautiful example.
The family fun hour rules meant they were told they would be asked to leave if they continued to dive, stand up on the big inflatable mats or wear swimming masks.
The “lifeguard” in question would rather the doors were locked and that no-one would ever again have fun in or around water.
STAY SAFE!
I am amazed the kids weren’t asked to wear lifejackets to keep everyone else safe from drowning, including the lifeguard (who did not look very fit, it must be said).
What, no masks allowed??!!
JP Sears must have met that lifeguard!
Why Life Jackets Should Be Mandatory! – YouTube
There is a human schism on the way and between neurotic, paranoid, statist covidians, and normal people who take things in their stride, and crucially want to be left alone.
Yep, it’s Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens all over again. (Or should that be Sheeperthals?)
‘an ominous sign that many people have no intention of leaving the ’emergency’ Covid measures’
More like an ominous sign there’s a mid-term election in November and the Dems need a crisis and those postal ballots to cheat again.
Oh dear
The Together Coalition has declared Sunday ‘Thank You Day’
Chaired by The Archbishop of Canterbury and supported by Gary Lineker and the usual suspects I guess it will be another day of clapping the NHS
Personally I would much prefer a ‘Leave me alone and get the fuck out of my life day’ but don’t think it’s going to happen
Anyway they are advertising for a new Chief Executive if anyone is interested (They have declined to disclose the salary)
About – Together
Not long before I found this on their happy clappy website
‘Busy Bodies R Us’ would be a more appropriate title
‘There were legitimate fears this pandemic might provide the perfect conditions for conspiracy theories to flourish. So it is worth noting that efforts to spread misinformation largely lost this battle with the fast-expanding, pro-vaccine social norm. Two-thirds of people wanted the vaccine before Christmas, but that has risen sharply.’
Not to be confused with … https://togetherdeclaration.org/
which campaigns against the clampdown on our rights and freedoms.
I wonder if the Together Coalition has registered all related domains. Perish the thought that the Together Declaration might grab one of them …
Thank you for pointing out the difference John – when I saw Cecil’s post I panicked a little and was worried that togetherdeclaration.org had gone totally rogue!! phew!
Ditto!
ill start clapping for the NHS when they start doing their job
The Big Three. Zero Covid, Zero Carbon, Zero Risk. All unobtainable (and arguably undesirable.) All attractive to numpties with no real marketable skills who can potificate and write articles for alarmist MSM.
Not LionPox now!
Oops soar, not roar … but I’ll leave it’s bound to be next.
HSBC at the heart of the Great Coronaswindle so shouldn’t come as a surprise..
I thought everyone was working from home these days??
Why does every man and his dog (and every woman and her cat) still continue to vent their spleens on the bollocks content of the mainstream papers? Newsflash: You don’t have to watch / read this claptrap if you don’t want to! Divert your attention away if you so wish. Ever since the start of this 2-year global circus act, we have had the choice not to be brainwashed, to continue to read and watch the things we normally would, and to not listen to or watch the over-spun, politicized and sensationalized content of the airwaves / papers / social media etc. But people still are reacting as if they are forced to watch or in some other way take in state-approved content and propaganda, as if we were all the equivalent of Ewan McGregor’s character in A Clockwork Orange when his eyelids are clamped open and forced to watch disturbing footage intended to cure him of his ills. The internet is still rife with what they love to call “misinformation”. You really don’t have to dig that far to find sites such as this one and many others advocating alternative viewpoints. Nobody needs to complain about the Telegraph reporting… Read more »
Midterms. The Democrats are looking at a disaster. So they are whipping up the fear as much as possible to try to get as many postal votes as possible. Its of course pure ‘conspiracy theory’ that postal votes are manipulated.
But surely as an infinitely boosted population they are all safe?
It’s New York. Nothing more needs saying. HSBC = HERE SAD B*STARDS COMPLY
The ‘takedown’ of the US and its Constitution under the regime fronted by Biden continues apace – even Fauci is astonishingly still in Office spreading the fear.
Given all the fronts currently in conflict in the sad country, it is difficult to see how this can ever be resolved in anything but chaos, total fragmentation, secession and disaster.
I will wage a $1000 that this outbreak is largely amongst the mostly Vaccinated but hey Shhhh…….
