Why are you folks interpreting public spaces as excluding outdoor public spaces?


Have you read the actual order?


Show me then.
Every person in Texas shall wear a face covering over the nose and mouth when inside a commercial entity or other building or space open to the public, or when in an outdoor public space, wherever it is not feasible to maintain six feet of social distancing from another person not in the same household,"


Thanks.


Duuuuuuuude, that's exactly what I highlighted


Yes, you did. I missed it.. Thsnks

So the only thing that really changed today is that cities and counties can no longer wave the mask requirement from last week. Nothing changed other than that if I am correct.

Instead of fineing businesses individuals can now be fined. Also this overrides counties that didnt enact Karen ordinances because their mayors / city counsel knew better.

Does that EO have any power? What's the legality behind the order?

OK. Missed that part.



We are doing everything we can to keep our business going and our youth baseball league playing. Nothing he said today is going to stop either one of those things.

Not that I am cool with it, but at least we are selling and playing.

People who don't think this will slow the economy are absolute idiots. I know I will go out less. Let's wait and see what July numbers look like. Guaranteed they will be lower than June.

This. There is absolutely no joy in going anywhere anymore. Eating out isn't pleasant because it's so sterile and regimented. I can't even walk around the damn Target without this stupid mask on. This all sucks.

I want to know what the end goal is. We were told we need to "flatten the curve" and allow the hospitals to prepare. They are prepared. What are we doing now? I could possibly buy into these ridiculously arbitrary mandates if I knew what we were working towards.

Non political question ahead:

I'm getting conflicting info. Are gatherings of over 10 permissable as of July 4th , or are they not? I don't see anything in the order that stops this but some people are saying its the case.

What are your thoughts on wearing a seat belt?


One is a law that went through a process, one is an illegal abuse of power. How hard is that to understand?

Have fun being a hermit for the foreseeable future. I get the frustration but are you not planning on eating anytime in the future...or do you live in an unaffected county?

Am I reading that correctly that people exercising indoors will now need to wear masks? Specifically singling out "outdoors" makes it look like you have to wear them inside gyms now, which would be different than the county orders.

This is some bull sh*t. My little brother is supposed to get married Sunday in Dallas, and there's no doubt that tyrant Jenkins will endorse the 10 or less mandate.



Invite him to the wedding.


Just read the EO. Have the wedding in a pool. Good to go.
Hand out beers to all of the guests since masks are not required if you are eating or drinking.

I am wearing a mission gaiter when I work out. Can't do the cardio as good as used to but figure I am building up my stamina (like training in mountains).

It is thin enough to breathe and stays cooler than all others.

Still isn't fun, but no big deal.

So masks are not required for church service? Where is the logic in that? I'm against forcing masks anywhere, but what makes COVID any different being inside of a church vs any other indoor establishment?

Mainly trying to have controlled spread as opposed to a raging inferno. Death rates are a lot lower but hospitalization rates are still high enough to warrant mitigation. Need to buck these trends. Can't just keep going up without some problems eventually.


Bexar county has a nearly identical trend line for COVID hospitalizations. We can't just look at this data and do nothing.

If you don't like EO-GA-29, go to gov.texas.gov and click contact at the top, and share your opinion. If enough people who don't like this share their opinions, then at least he'll know.

Of course, nothing to keep supporters of his hideous EO to do the same thing.
Again, let your voices be heard. And yes, I unabashedly quoted my own post in response to myself.

Maybe they shouldn't have shut down Texas before we saw those trends. Now people are over it.

What does this mean for my kids day camp and away camp in two weeks? My daughter is 11. Will she have to wear a mask at summer camp? That is ridiculous.
