Connecticut puts some teeth in mask mandate, will start issuing $100 fines

That was in September, but CT still has a higher than average death rate. They had a surge after the mask fine order too.
in fact, you'd see no positive effects from the mandate

https://www.worldometers.info/corona...a/connecticut/

CT peaked at 1,100 (April), fell to 100 (August), was at 185 when the penalty announced, and was 3,000 5 days ago.

As of May 31, 3,900 deaths. Mid-August, 1 death/day. Since Sept 15, 2,240 deaths, currently ~30.

I'm pretty sure CT would be D, and given that and their spring, pretty mask compliant. I could be wrong.

No, it's not time to mask up. It's time to give the middle finger to masks. They do nothing besides prove you are a sheep.

unless you wear your mask 24x7, it will be the same. The only places that are fine are TWN and NZ. They locked themselves out since the last march. mask is not be-all and end-all.

for whatever reason, he issued a separate one today for airplanes and public transportation. Not sue why he didn't just include it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...19d_story.html

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...-mask-wearing/

that's yesterday's EO.

note it includes Federal lands. That's a lot of open space to wear masks. it does define "Federal lands" as "lands under executive branch control" if that matters.

That's not true. They do provide some benefit. They're just not the end-all-be-all, not even in conjunction with all the other "social distance" measures.

And that’s the problem. It’s not about being a sheep. It’s about honoring and respecting your neighbors and your community.

Not so in my life, only time I see a mask is from the grocery delivery person.

There was never 90% mask compliance. Just so you know. I don't believe masks are the end-all be-all either. But they sure help. If only we could get people to wear them. Otherwise, we get to live with Covid for a while longer.
