And NO, the Utah governor was smart enough to say mask mandates should be handled at a local level, which took all the heat off of himself... not that he really cares as he is retiring after his current term.

When this whole thing started, Utah County tried ordering a mask mandate and the Governor threatened to sue them over it. I'm sure the same could be done here, but it won't. It's pretty amazing. People wonder why so many folks got all upset about their "freedumbs" being taken away. This is why. Once they get a taste of it, they won't let go.Quote:

But, like Ice said, he's a lame duck at this point, so he has no political power or backlash to worry about.
You are correct. I couldn't remember all of the details, but I remembered there was a bit of a problem in Utah county early on with regards to this. My comments regarding the relinquishing of authority stands though. They won't easily let that go, if they ever do.

Hate that term too.Quote:

Looks like the people of Maine have one of these for their governor. I don't like other people's spit either, but this is just off the hook. It's not like they're blowing candles off your food.
Yeah...let's elect Biden...we'll all have to spend the next 6 months or more with these stupid things around our necks, huh? He declared tonight that he's going to vanquish the virus "once and for all"...why would you not expect something like this to be on the menu? WTF?

You don’t say. So, when being around someone infected for extended periods of time, it doesn’t matter whether all parties are wearing masks or not, transmission still occurs. How could that be? :ne_nau:
