Sorry you have so little faith in your government to think that there is some power trip happening rather than looking out for your best interests.

Cases rise shortly after holidays thanks to large family gatherings.

Is the above statement fact? Is it “so they say”

If power over people is their end game like some think here why hasn’t Sweden been blown to bits because clearly they ignored the memo.
OK Doug.

If the state you are in has a mask mandate like ours then it is not out of line to have a sign on the door saying you need a mask to enter or that a manager or employee of the store say something to someone that is not wearing one...unless of course you have a medical condition that dictates you can not wear one.Personally I think it's easier to wear the mask,get your few things and leave in peace.
If having that kind of confrontation is something that makes you feel good.... then by all means.....do it.
We have no mask mandates. Everything is open and public venues are opening back up. I find it easier not to walk around with a useless mask that fogs up my glasses because some non-medical "expert" tells me I have to or I'm an asshole. I'm not going to do it. **** them. I'd say the same thing to you in the same situation

The flaw in this thinking is that one person, only has to encounter one other person for it to spread. It doesn't require 10 people or 20 in a room. That being said, why is a group of 9 allowed, but not 10? 9 people are sacrificial, but not 10? What would the impact of 10 people being infected vs only 9 be? What is the impact of being in a bar until 10:30 vs 10:00? How does that possibly help? Nurses are exposed daily to more than 10 people and after 10:00. There is ZERO logic that can be applied to this. It is 100% arbitrary and like I have said before, the covid boat has 50 holes in it, and plugging one or two does NOT keep the boat from sinking.

It is a power trip and the lack of logic applied to mandates CLEARLY exposes that fact...FACT. Watch how quickly we get back to business opening when the mission is a successful economy for Joebama.

9 or 10. 10:00 or 10:30. The logic is to encourage people to stay home if they can.

It is failing. People know they have to leave at 10:00 and are simply compressing the time, not the activities or the intake.

10 minutes to 10 in a restaurant and people are ordering maragritas like they are at a Mecum auction. "Gimme 3 gimme 3 gimme 4, now 4, need 4 need 4 need 4, hey now we gotta 5 , 5 ,5 gotta 5..."

Well there are thousands, if not millions, of idiots out there so be prepared to stay masked up and stay home while the economy continues to falter for the foreseeable future.

We’re not masking up or staying home and the economy is recovering pretty well - and the rate of new COVID cases and deaths, as well as hospital capacity - is way better than states that are masked up and locked down. Go figure.

All we hear in Houston is doom and gloom. If I believed all the stories, Houston would look like an episode of the Walking Dead.

We have two Demmunists running the city so there is no light at the end of the tunnel until the governor sets them straight. As red as he claims to be, he has definitely been dipping his big cup in the Kool-Aid barrel.

If you claim to be either of those, please get me a 70" TV. I'll pay shipping costs.
