    They don't have to, they just force them with laws.

    I suppose it would be OK if he berated a handful of overweight 16 year olds telling them how ridiculous it is to be fat because technically, "he is right".

    Remember: Infection rates in California (mask mandate) and Florida (no mask mandate) have been exactly the same.

    What does this tell you?

    This is real world CDC data. Not some study that is engineered for political reasons.

    A great man liberating the working class, while leftists are creating a divide, treating service workers like servants.

    Well, if the Ag Commissioner didn't promote the use of hydroxychloroquine like the quack did... maybe he would have been a safer pick for Surgeon General...

    I'm against mask mandates, but that was some BS from DeSantis. The point of not having mask mandates is to give each person the freedom to do what they want to do. Telling people not to wear masks is hypocritical.

    It tells me you have no clue on how highly populated areas in a condensed spaces would spread a virus quicker.

    More than 94 percent of Californians live in urban areas which cover just 5.1 percent of the state. If Trump's bootlicker DeSantis had been governor of California many many more would have died there.

    Yes of course Conservatives who have long argued that private businesses should be able to do what they think is best are now the friends of the working man?

    I suppose now DeSantis will be fore an increase in the minimum wage, more health and safety regulations and health insurance..

    It tells me you're mistakenly thinking masking = compliance. In high-density areas like SF, where I live, high rates of masking have definitely helped blunt infection and hospitalization #s, in every wave (give or take omicron, when bars and restaurants were back open.) Meanwhile LA, San Diego, and the central valley have always struggled by comparison with mask wearing, and they have higher COVID #s per capita too. You can say it's coincidental but most of the science shows good masks worn properly make a big difference for airborne disease. That's why people working in hospitals wear them -- not because they are brainwashed and dumb.

    I'm all for opposing mandates at this stage for all ages and definitely for kids. But joining your voice to irresponsible ones (like deSatans, who wouldn't know science if you held it two inches from his weasel eyes) about whether or not masks work makes no sense.

    It's not me mistakenly thinking that, it's those who enacted the mask mandates. Why is there low compliance? Because people realize it's theater.

    Definitely? Can you show data to prove your opinion?

    Those are just your opinions, not "science". Only FFP2/FFP3 masks even have some effect.



    Even in hospitals, they normally just wear surgical masks, not FFP2/FFP3. They also wear scrubs. It's tradition. But yes, big difference between a doctor wearing a medical mask properly, and forcing that on toddlers 8 hours a day.
