It just seems like Republicans are having an extra hard time understanding how this disease is spread and how it is contained. Understandable if they are watching FoxNews.
And what stops individuals from wearing masks and/or taking precautions? Nada. And BULLSHIT on the notion a governor can undermine local ordinances. DOUBLE BULLSHIT!!! A city, a county, can pass laws that pertain to their jurisdictions as long as they do not violate the state or US Constitution. Period.
That brown ooze flowing from your ears Goosey is getting on your shoes now...
Local ordinance would have violated the Governor’s executive order.Quote:

The problem is that masks aren’t about mitigating personal risk. They are about protecting the community. Many people won’t make this simple sacrifice for others. Mask adoption has also been undermined by right wing politicization of masks. That should have never happened. Would have gone along way to help if Trump would wear one and not criticize Biden for doing so.
According to you, in Texas, everyone isn't doing it because it violates the governor's executive order.Quote:

Considering the supposed positives of wearing them, they should be free. Too much money to be made I reckon.Quote:

The local Walmart, Walgreens, and other stores are selling them like a 10-pack or something for very little, $2 maybe. And they have pallets of 'em!Quote:

Louisianians who don't want to go backwards need to pay attention to Texas. If you want the economy to recover, adhere to mitigation protocols. A lot of getting COVID to own the libs going on in Texas.Quote:
