The notoriously far-left city of San Francisco has reversed its own ban on plastic bags in response to the spread of the coronavirus, now prohibiting the use of reusable bags as a sanitary measure, according to Politico.The push to ban plastic bags, which leftists have claimed, without evidence, are more likely to cause pollution, had been achieved in many liberal cities, from San Francisco to New York. However, with the fear of spreading the contagious coronavirus, the same bags being used multiple times are more likely to help spread the disease than single-use plastic bags.The move is the latest action taken by San Francisco and the California state government

Unfortunately - - it's impossible to embarrass leftists.
They have no souls - - no consciences.

Salmonella sacks, er sorry, reusable bags, were always a bad idea.
Watched a lady throw used diapers out of her sacks and then go shopping -- and loading her groceries in the sacks.
And putting the damn bags on the conveyor with everyone's groceries.

Nancy Pelosi shuts down shadow corporation manufacturing denim grocery bags. Film at 11.
11 Pelosi corporation discovers that plastic is a more viable SAFER material for grocery bags than denim.
Are considering the limited use of plastic for the manufacture of trousers but can't get that worn look.
Pelosi comments, "and people think I'm crazy ??"

The notion that those reusable canvas sacks harbor germs and bacteria has been an open secret for quite awhile now. It's why i decided a few years ago to not participate in their use.

Couldn't have seen that coming. The Commicrats are always forcing us to improve our lives.

It's kind of funny, but give the devil his due. The Bay Area counties were ahead of the curve with their shelter-in-place order. I live in San Mateo, and the order seemed excessive to me at the time, but now it seems like a good call. And reversing its pious ban on plastic at least shows that SF can adapt to a new situation.

My EX mayor , RINO - NJ , has a commentary piece in the local left wing rag bemoaning our towns return to single use bags due to the virus. He and the town council forced the ban on us. He and they were voted out.

But SF is located in California, which has banned single-use plastic bags state-wide. So isn't this just posturing with no actual effect unless the state also lifts its ban?

Do the dems manufacture and sell the single use bags now?

The ecofascists will get the plastic bags banned here again as soon as the Wuhan Flu has gone.

I recycle my plastic bags all the time. I have two cats and I use my plastic bags for poop bags. I use them to line trash bags in the bathroom, I use them for padding if I mail something. I recycle them a lot.

Charleston, SC leftist Mayor Tecklenburg, are you paying attention? He banned single use plastic bags in the city about 2 weeks before this whole pandemic started.
I’ve never had one of those reusable bags - it was a no-brainer that they obviously become germ holders. But also, if you wash them regularly, aren’t you polluting the environment with laundry soap and using energy to run the washing machine? How does that help the environment?

It's good to see at least one of the left's incessant stupid virtue-signalling policies get reversed. But they'll never admit their stupidity verbally. In fact, they'll blithely virtue-signal their reversal. And already have.
Looking forward to other coming reversals as a result of this epidemic soon:
- Open borders
- Mass transit
- High density urban living
- Dependence on China for all pharmaceutical and key technology manufacturing
Would LOVE to hear Biden's/Democrats defense of those positions in the coming election season.

Forgot to add - anyone who thinks plastic straws and grocery bags are killing the oceans should go spend a couple of days at the hospital. I was just in one for a couple of days with my daughter who gave birth to a son during all of this chaos. Practically everything used in hospitals is plastic, single use and disposable.

Great point #9! The state has legally banned plastic bags. Does this mean that San Francisco is now a PBS (Plastic Bag Sanctuary) city?

Perhaps they could issue some to the homeless so they could poop in them and help keep the streets clean..

It really is astounding how consistently wrong the Left is about everything.
I've seen cult leaders with better track records.

Since we are now revisiting "non-reusable" grocery bags we should also revisit Paul Shanklin's masterpiece of humour, "In A Yugo."

Here's a silly idea. Stuff your plastic grocery bags into another bag. One holds 30 or so.. Use them as trash bags so you don't have to buy new trash bags. When you go for groceries stick 5 or 6 in your back pocket. Go through the self check and re-use your plastic bags. Am I a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon ? My guess would be rocket surgeon.

LMAO #21 is an official rocket surgeon. Good thinking. The only problem I can see with your proposal is the homeless folk won't do it. We are going to have designated liberal caretakers to follow them around and pick up after them, sorta like dog owners..

I have refused to use the reusable bags. I have always called them the "e coli" bags.

Plastic grocery bags have a multitude of uses that have been well covered here. Paper bags are just as useful. As much as I hate how overpackaged our food supply is I trust the food inside is clean. Not so much the outside though. You never know how touched or coughed on that stuff is.
