What Texas did was about the most common sense move there is. We're not policing you, but you have feel like you need to wear a mask, go for it.
Difference is that masks, in the Covid context, are to protect others. When everyone is wearing masks, COVID transmission goes down. Fewer people get sick, fewer people are hospitalized, fewer people die. Wearing a mask is a little inconvenient, but it saves lives, saves the state money, and allows businesses to open without threat of another outbreak that might shut them down. That is common sense.Quote:

He had finally arrived and now hurrying to chip in to perform the morning tasks, we bumped into each other in a building. I was surprised to see him, to see anyone actually, and before I could even react, say a word, he is screaming at me "Where's your mask!? Put on a mask!" as he backed away.
As all was calm again, my mask on, I confronted him, "You little bastard," I began, "you're always late to work, I am always left to do your part, and when I am by myself, especially outside in the open air, no, I do not wear a mask." I lectured him on responsibility, as in being to work on time, but he just brushed it off as that being some "boomer thingy."
And this...
two of the most RIDICULOUSLY scared people I personally know, the MOST stringent mask-wearers, social-distancers...I mean militantly! Big time democraps too, even had a Biden-Harris sign in their front yard! Egad! Well, they both just recovered from a bout with the China Virus. Both in their 50's. Neither have gotten the vaccine since heretofore they have not been in a priority group, but also because "it is a Trump drug" and they don't trust it, but now that Biden has been prez for awhile then maybe the vaccine produced recently is good. :rolleyes: But, still, they are afraid to go to a place with all those other people to get vaccinated. She called me yesterday, as I have been an advisor for their nursery business (green plants, not kids) and said they had both fully recovered from the virus episode. It's amazing that two people like those, who have been the very epitome of caution all this time, got the virus, while the party animals down the street never did, or if they did, never knew it.
Mask wearing only protects you so much when others aren’t also wearing masks.
Btw, vaccine hesitancy is higher with Republicans than Dems.
In an average of Axios/Ipsos polls taken in January and February, 74% of Democrats said they'd either been vaccinated, or were extremely or very likely to get vaccinated as soon it's available to them. Just 51% of Republicans said the same thing. Independents were in the middle of these two groups at 61%.
When Gallup asked respondents whether they would agree to get vaccinated if the vaccine were available to them right now, the partisan gap stood at 40 points (91% for Democrats and 51% for Republicans) in their most recent poll.
Btw, part II, Texas’s rescission of the mask mandate also comes at a time when Texas’s vaccination rate is bottom 5 in the country and the state still hasn’t progressed beyond groups 1a and 1b. One of the few states where teachers still can’t get vaccinated.
Tennessee NEVER had a statewide mask mandate. You don't want to come here.Quote:

He still says we need to wear masks. He has said that since we had evidence of substantial community spread, that it is spread mostly through the air, and that people that are a/pre-symptomatic are spreaders.Quote:

Don’t know why the Republican Party is deciding to double down on being the “party of dumb.” It isn’t a winning formula for them.
You should be happy that the epic over reaction is winding down, but it hurts when you people lose control right? Just remember that because of the China Virus you people were able to steal an election and begin your crusade to kill jobs and open the borders

As an individual you can make choices. Like load up on PPEs and stay away from public places if you deem them too risky. Stop being a frickin' helpless baby.
The mask mandate is to protect others from the one wearing the mask. It is like laws that keep you from firing off your gun randomly in the city. That law isn’t to protect you - it is to protect others from you.Quote:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says President Joe Biden is “recklessly releasing” illegal aliens into the state of Texas after they have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus.
A report by NBC News this week confirmed that Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is releasing border crossers into the U.S. interior who then are testing positive for the coronavirus. Even after border crossers test positive, they are not required to quarantine.
Abbott, in a statement on Wednesday evening, wrote that the Biden administration “must immediately end” the Catch and Release policy.
“The Biden Administration is recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have COVID into Texas communities,” Abbott wrote in a post. “The Biden Admin. must IMMEDIATELY end this callous act that exposes Texans & Americans to COVID.”

In Brownsville, Texas, DHS is sending border crossers into the community where local health officials then must test them. Regardless of a negative or positive test result, the border crossers are allowed to continue traveling into the U.S. interior — many heading to Maryland, New Jersey, and North Carolina.
Since Brownsville officials started testing released border crossers, about 6.3 percent or nearly 110 have tested positive for the coronavirus and are sent on their way.
Similarly, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) called Biden’s Catch and Release policy an “anti-America First and anti-science” iniative.
“Illegal aliens with COVID-19 are being caught and then released into the United States,” Brooks wrote in a post. “This is anti-America First and anti-Science. Socialist Dems have built a wall around the Capitol to protect themselves, but won’t protect you!”

As Breitbart News noted, millions of Americans remain under business restrictions, mask mandates, and quarantine requirements due to the coronavirus crisis, even as coronavirus-positive border crossers are not held to any requirements except public mask mandates where they are enforced.
Biden’s Catch and Release policy has proven unpopular with Americans. In a Harvard/Harris poll conducted last month of nearly 1,800 registered voters, 67 percent said border crossers should be returned to Mexico — as they were under the Remain in Mexico policy that Biden ended — while just 33 percent said they should be released into the U.S. interior.

That is not an accurate assertion. Everyone "cared" about the China virus, but to varying degrees, and there were also a variety of opinions on how best to address it. We often resort to absolutes when we are trying to make a point, and you did so here.Quote:

Dr Scott Atlas gave a speech at Hillsdale. That guy got less wrong than Fauci got right. And he was crucified for it. Even the CDC said in a recent article that masks were had less than a 2% effectiveness. Stated that mask contribution to prevention of spread, infection, and death was not statistically significant. Then later in the article, they said masks had a statistically significant impact. They contradicted themselves after they gave stats that killed their argument.
What recent article? Post it, please.Quote:

That's not what they said. They said you don't have to wear a mask in interactions with families who are at low risk for severe reactions to the virus. They still recommend wearing a mask in public settings and at small gatherings where more than 2 households are present. They still advise against large gatherings.Quote:
