Still no national mask mandate even though masking saves lives.

Still no national mask mandate despite the fact that all evidence supports the theory that masking saves lives.




Joe Biden will institute a national mask mandate on his first week. Trump has the blood of hundreds of thousands of needless deaths on his hands.

We are better off getting Biden in office and he will do the right and smart things that are needed.

In the beginning of this pandemic, I stayed home. All. The. Time.

But now Colorado has a mask mandate, and now I shop. I went to Target over the weekend and everybody in the store was wearing a mask. At the start of the mandate there were numerous people who refused, but now there seems to be fairly good compliance. Along with social distancing, I feel safe shopping.

For the last month, I have not come across anyone that doesn’t wear one there. The place is very busy now.

That said, had trump, the minute the science was in always worn one and encouraged his followers to wear one I doubt I would still be furloughed with no paycheck.
