Claim: “Governor of Maine orders restaurant staff to wear COVID visors like dog cones” (Sherri Tenpenny, Paul Joseph Watson, 2020-08-18)
Evidence (2020-08-18): Restaurant staff in Maine are not required to wear dog cone-style visors as part of COVID-19 precautionary measures. The updated prevention checklists issued by Maine Governor Janet Mills’ administration only require staff who have opted to use face shields instead of face masks to wear them upside down. A photo of a restaurant staff member appearing to wear a dog cone-style face visor at work is altered.
Claim: “Governor of Maine orders restaurant staff to wear COVID visors like dog cones” (Sherri Tenpenny, Paul Joseph Watson, 2020-08-18)
Evidence (2020-09-17): A false claim that restaurant staff in Maine are required to wear dog cone-like face shields to protect against COVID-19 in compliance with orders from Governor Janet Mills is circulating on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This claim can be traced back to an 18 August 2020 tweet by anti-vaccination activist Sherri Tenpenny, which was later promoted by the website Summit News. NewsGuard, which evaluates the trustworthiness of news sources, has reported that Summit News, which was launched by an editor of the conspiracy theory website Infowars, "severely violates basic journalistic standards." Nevertheless, the Summit News article has received more than 19,000 interactions on Facebook to date, according to social media analytics tool CrowdTangle. The claim is inaccurate, as the Governor’s requirements are for face shields, not dog cone-style face visors. The official COVID19 Prevention Checklist Industry Guidance on the website of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, which was updated on 14 August 2020, states: [...] Only staff who have opted to use face shields instead of face masks are required to wear them upside down. Face shields are not analogous to dog cones, therefore, the claim that a dog cone-style face visor is required for all restaurant staff in Maine is demonstrably false.

Evidence (2020-08-24): It said "like a dog cone." Right in the title. [...] Maine Governor Janet Mills has apparently issued an executive order requiring front of house restaurant staff to wear Covid visors like dog cones. Here is a link to a picture of what that apparently looks like. [...] Fancy? It's a face shield turned upside down. What's more plausible, that, or the fake news story that servers will have to wear dog cones?

Evidence (2020-06-15): "Maine people and businesses have worked hard to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and the stabilization of cases and hospitalizations in York, Cumberland, and Androscoggin Counties help demonstrate that," Mills said. "But this pandemic is not over. As we reopen restaurants for indoor dining and other businesses in these areas, we remain vigilant. Businesses must strictly adhere to health and safety protocols and all people should wear face coverings, stay six feet apart whenever possible, and frequently wash their hands. If we continue to protect ourselves and one another by taking these steps, we can reopen our economy in a safe way and limit the spread of this dangerous virus." [...] "We’ll continue to monitor the data closely," Maine CDC Director Dr. Nirav D. Shah said. "Maine people have limited potential spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 by being responsible in physical distancing, wearing face coverings, and handwashing since March, and we trust that high level of responsibility will continue as restaurants throughout the state reopen."

Evidence (2020-03-18): Under authority granted to her in a civil state of emergency, Governor Janet Mills today issued an Executive Order mandating that all restaurants and bars statewide close to dine-in customers effective today, March 18, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. for a period of 14 days until midnight, March 31, 2020. Take-out, delivery, and drive-through options can continue. In her order, the Governor also prohibited all gatherings of more than 10 people until further notice, mandating the latest U.S. CDC’s guidance on gatherings. In addition, Governor Mills strongly urged non-essential public-facing businesses, such as gyms, hair salons, theatres, casinos, shopping malls, to close their doors for the next two weeks to minimize public gatherings. These new actions come as Governor Mills seeks to significantly strengthen social distancing measures in Maine. Social distancing is considered one of the most effective methods to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. "I do not take these steps lightly. Maine’s small businesses and their workers are the backbone of our economy, and I understand that these actions will not only impact them, they will also disrupt the lives of Maine people," said Governor Janet Mills. "However, COVID-19 continues to spread across Maine and more aggressive action is required to mitigate that spread and to protect the health and welfare of Maine people. My Administration is committed to working with businesses whose operations are affected by COVID-19. I continue to strongly urge all Maine people to take seriously the threat of this virus and to practice social distancing. We all have a responsibility to do our part."

Evidence (2022-01-03): FEINBERG: The petition comes as the Portland City Council is set to consider new COVID-19 restrictions on Monday night. That includes reinstituting a mask mandate, which had been in place across the state through May. Certain businesses requiring vaccines would be exempted. Cities including Boston and Chicago have added their own vaccine requirements amidst the surge of the omicron variant, but other restaurant owners have already pushed back on the Portland petition, saying businesses should be able to decide on their own if they want to require vaccines. Greg Dugal with the trade group HospitalityMaine says he's still waiting for more details on the plan before weighing in.
Claim: “Governor of Maine orders restaurant staff to wear COVID visors like dog cones” (Sherri Tenpenny, Paul Joseph Watson, 2020-08-18)
Evidence (2020-12-11): With widespread community transmission and increased COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Maine, Governor Janet Mills today signed an Executive Order (PDF) that simplifies and strengthens the enforcement of the State’s face covering requirement. Moving forward, owners and operators of all indoor public spaces – regardless of the type of entity or size – must not allow those who refuse to wear a face covering to enter or remain in their venue. Previous Executive Orders had required enforcement in some but not all public settings. [...] "Wearing a face covering is a simple step you can take to reduce the spread of COVID-19. In a public setting, wearing a face covering not only makes good sense, but is required and enforceable through licensing actions, by law enforcement, and by the Attorney General," said Aaron Frey, Attorney General of Maine. "The Governor’s executive order makes clear that all operators of indoor public spaces must comply with and enforce the requirement."

Evidence (2020-03-12): Last week, Governor Mills convened a Coronavirus Response Team, led by Maine CDC Director Dr. Nirav Shah and comprised of key individuals in her Administration, to coordinate State government’s response across departments and local agencies and health authorities to the threat of COVID-19. The response team builds on the work that has already been done by the Maine CDC to prepare for potential cases of COVID-19.
Claim: “Governor of Maine orders restaurant staff to wear COVID visors like dog cones” (Sherri Tenpenny, Paul Joseph Watson, 2020-08-18)
Evidence (2020-07-08): Governor Janet Mills today issued an Executive Order requiring large retail businesses, restaurants, outdoor bars, tasting rooms, and lodging establishments in Maine’s more populous cities and coastal counties to enforce the State’s face covering requirement. The new Executive Order strengthens the enforcement component of the Governor’s face covering requirement. The Executive Order comes as Maine continues to reopen its economy and welcome visitors from other states. Scientific evidence demonstrates that wearing a face covering can significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19, helping protect the health and safety of Maine people. "It is important that we wear face coverings as people begin to interact more and more,"said Governor Mills. "Doing so can slow the spread of COVID-19, protect the health and safety of those around us, support businesses and allow us to safely reopen our economy. I know it may be inconvenient for some, but I also believe that Maine people care about each other, and this simple gesture is a small price to pay for knowing you could save someone’s life."

Evidence (2021-05-24): On March 5, 2021, Governor Mills issued an Order modifying Maine’s COVID-19 gathering and travel restrictions. Gathering limits and customer capacity limits have been modified as follows: [...] Governor Mills also expanded her Order requiring certain businesses to enforce the state’s face covering requirement. The rationale behind the expansion was to make clear that places, such as private schools and local government buildings, must join restaurants, lodging, and retail establishments in having their employees and clients’ wear face coverings. [...] On July 1, Stage 3 of Maine’s reopening plan goes into effect. Spas, amusement and water parks, bowling alleys, and performing arts venues are permitted to reopen. Businesses are limited to no more than 50 people allowed in enclosed spaces, and all businesses must comply with the COVID prevention checklists located here. In addition, Governor Mills announced that visitors from Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey are exempt from the 14-day quarantine or negative test requirement effective Friday, July 3. Governor Mills also announced a plan to issue an Executive Order that will require large retail stores, lodging establishments, restaurants, outdoor bars, and tasting rooms in the coastal counties and highly populated cities to enforce the state wide face covering requirement.

Evidence (2020-08-19): The Governor of Maine has ordered restaurant staff to wear anti-COVID visors upside down so they resemble dog cones in order to direct breath upwards.

Accordingly this bridge appears to be the Raiwind Flyover in Lahore, Panjab, Pakistan, which was constructed in 2017. At the same time, there has been a wide discussion about this and there are reports that the government has made this construction in such a complex shape according to certain conventions.

Evidence (2021-10-20): - Mobilize resources toward high-priority areas. Using the assessment, mobilize U.S. public and private sector resources into those key infrastructure types and geographic areas, in close coordination with U.S. partners and allies. Public funds should be used as a force-multiplier, crowding in rather than crowding out private investment. Without alternatives for meeting pressing infrastructure needs, countries face the difficult and often politically impossible choice between a lower-quality project or nothing at all. It is in the U.S. interest to work with partners and allies to make the effort to provide such an alternative both for the immediate commercial benefits it will provide and for the long-term economic and security benefits that will come from the kind of global economy that high-quality infrastructure will produce (i.e., a better market for U.S. goods and services and a more stable, developed, and peaceful world that does not threaten U.S. security or prosperity).
Claim: Former and Current Prez are using the same set of prez advisors !! (Social Media Users, 2024-10-02)
Evidence (2024-10-02): The social media posts suggesting that the same advisors serve both Ranil Wickremesinghe and Anura Kumara Dissanayake are misleading. The individuals appearing in the photos represent the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and were involved in presenting the "Vision 2030" document to both leaders. They did not serve as permanent or official presidential advisors. The current president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, has appointed only two advisors so far. One of them is the Mr Hulangamuwa, who is seen in both photographs as he was serving as the Chamber`s chairman.
Claim: Former and Current Prez are using the same set of prez advisors !! (Social Media Users, 2024-10-02)
Evidence (2023-07-07): What I discovered, during hundreds of hours of discussions with business leaders, is that CEOs reach out to individuals from a startlingly wide range of backgrounds and professions. The advisors they find, however—whether they are a church minister, Lazard Freres partner, or Wall Street lawyer—all share the same special qualities. As Paul Baszucki, CEO of Norstan put it, "In the end it’s not the category but the qualities of the particular person." Here are four of the most important characteristics to look for: [...] How little things have changed. Sixty years ago, Wendell Wilkie asked President Franklin Roosevelt why he relied so much on Harry Hopkins, his most trusted advisor. Roosevelt replied, ""Someday you may well be sitting here where I am now as president of the United States. And when you are, you’ll be looking at that door over there and knowing that practically everybody who walks through it wants something out of you. You’ll learn what a lonely job this is and discover the need for somebody like Harry Hopkins who asks for nothing except to serve you." [...] Other CEOs used similar language to describe their most valued advisors: "He gives me a global view"; "She provides additional perspective and helps me to reconceptualize the problem"; "He brings big picture thinking to the discussion."; and, "They help me consistently focus on the important, strategic issues."
Claim: Former and Current Prez are using the same set of prez advisors !! (Social Media Users, 2024-10-02)
Evidence (2022-03-26): Does it really matter whether former political advisors get elected to public office? Former advisors are likely to have more skills than other newly elected legislators, allowing them to hit the ground running when it comes to performing the duties of their office. In this sense, a voter might see electing a former advisor as the smart choice, since they are likely to be more effective than candidates without political experience. Are former advisors likely to use these skills and networks to further their constituents’ interests, however? Indeed, we have good reason to think that former political advisers bring more than their expertise in the process of politics, but may even approach their responsibilities differently in the first instance. A central question each representative must confront is to whom they should be responsive. One difference between former advisors and those with other types of pre-legislative experience might be their views on the nature of mass-elite linkages in representative style ( [...] The phenomenon of former advisors becoming elected officials also informs the personalization of politics. Personalization refers to a "

Evidence (2024-10-06): Most recent vice presidents have been viewed as important presidential advisors. Walter Mondale, unlike his immediate predecessors, did not want specific responsibilities to be delegated to him. Mondale believed, as he wrote President-elect Jimmy Carter a memo following the 1976 election, that his most important role would be as a "general adviser" to the president.[38][69] Al Gore was an important adviser to President Bill Clinton on matters of foreign policy and the environment. Dick Cheney was widely regarded as one of President George W. Bush's closest confidants. Joe Biden asked President Barack Obama to let him always be the "last person in the room" when a big decision was made; later, as president himself, Biden adopted this model with his own vice president, Kamala Harris.[70][71]
