Shocking that so many here don't want to comply with a simple action that will help others. Selfless service, huh.
Masks are ineffective, social distancing is a crock....none of this is beneficial in the least and is totally illegal and unsupported by laws.


Masks are certainly effective. You are misinformed.


That's simply not the case.


Sigh. I work with a number of public health offices and they absolutely stand by the studies. The evidence is there that it limits transmission. This is especially important when you have such a high number of asymptomatic cases. The idea isn't to protect the wearer.

You can't say it doesn't work just because you don't like the idea. You're just wrong.


That's great that they work. Don't force it on me. How about we give people the data and let hem decide. We don't wear masks every year to stop the flu. Death count is going down since most people getting it now are young. It is amazing how willing people are to give up their freedoms.

Doesn't address gatherings of 10 or less.

Is there a list of rules? Outdoors? Exercise? I'm playing golf sunday, I better not have to wear a f***ing mask.
Here's the actual EO - addresses a bunch of the complaints voiced so far...

There is such an absence of reasoning in this forum. You've already defined your good guys and your bad guys and you immediately jump to defend your heroes regardless of if it makes sense. If someone from the "opposing teams" make a claim, it's immediately invalid. There's no room for discussion or education in this environment.

Science doesn't mean anything to you. Statistics don't mean anything to you. That is, unless they support your "team."

It's possible that not everyone is out to get you. It's also possible that you're wrong from time to time. That's not an assault on your manhood. It's an opportunity to learn and grow.

I HATE our two party system and the way politics play out in America. It breeds this kind of mindset. It's not Us vs. Them. We're all in this together. If we work together, in this at least, it will help us get back to normal quicker.

Karen, where were you during the protest? And keep you psychosis out of my personal life and liberty.
Thomas Jefferson: "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."

The worst year of flu with no shutdowns was something like 50-60k deaths. With our shutdowns over 100k have died.

I believe you go to jail. With no pants.

And fine up to $2k.

College was fun.
Put a mask on the face and the male genital/balls. Problem solved.

Even accepted medical terms are banned here?

Nothing about this has been proven. Not one damn bit. He has just lost the governorship of Texas today. Shame on him. Shame on him for buying into the fear mongering and bull*****
Nothing about HCQ was proved one bit, though that didn't stop Trump from saying everyone should take it, using the reasoning, what harm could it do.


HCQ works, it's been proven over and over and over again. The only substantial data that said this wasn't the case was compiled by a pornstar.


I can't believe people still argue this.

You know why the death count is so low now? Redemisvir and a very cheap oral steroid that reduces the cytokines storm.

The death count was huge when doctors were throwing crap against a wall with HCQ

Countless AMERICAN studies say it doesn't work.

And yet you still cling to it bc trump can never be wrong.

Well trump says to wear a mask now so get it on!!!!


HCQ works, it's been proven. Just because Orange Man touted it early makes you want to puke doesn't make it not so.

What's with your obsession with telling people to wear masks? You seem troubled.


Then why the sudden drop in deaths? It's not HCQ. Nearly every study done in the US and the world showed it was ineffective. It's clear everything changed with the steroid and redemisvir.

So tell me why the death count was so high when we only used HCQ early on?

I just think it's a small sacrifice and the people whining don't know real struggle if this sends them through the roof.

Suck it up. Do your part. Wear a mask.


You realize those studies were faked?

And you literally just spouted off the socialist mantra. "Do your part".

How about leave me the **** alone?


The 7-10 studies were faked? American, French, German and China all faked studies for what?

Do you realize how crazy you sound?

They've had all the evidence provided to them.

They just think they're so macho and manly that they're above it.

So wear some boxers, or a speedo for all I care, I'm sure its been done. The point is there's a difference between a private company mandating a dress code on their property and the government enforcing one everywhere. This whole thing is a **** test by the government to see what the people are willing to comply with. Its pretty hilarious that people think the government actually cares about people dying. They care about control above all.

I wear a mask in businesses these days because all the stores require it - thanks to Dora (and now wheels).

When outside on my own I don't. Walking my dogs, running, at a gas station, walking in a parking lot, playing golf, on a boat, etc. If I were on vacation at the beach (which I have no plans for) I would not wear a mask and I don't think this EO would imply that I should.

I don't see this EO changing any of that. If it does I'll ignore it, but it does not seem to.

At my place of business I guess this might be applicable but it will be ignored by everyone in my office. We are small private company.

Still think it is a terrible overreach, ill conceived and directly contradicts what the Gov said he did not have the power to do not long ago.

Edit - looking forward to voting in the next primary against wheels.

Do you work for the state of Texas? Do you live in the state of Texas? No? Then you take care of your wonderful state and quit worrying about us. If you want, you can try to come and arrest us. Please do.

Yes, it is a test. Every time some event happens the government rushes in with new infringements on our rights to "save us". And I'm not in a safe space bubble nor am I spooked. You aren't projecting are you?
