My state mandated masks in public so I wear one even though I (and the WHO) don't think it makes a big difference.  What really bothers me is the inconsistency in policy and enforcement.  In his daily updates I've seen my governor wear a mask, but only lately and only around his neck.  This is in a press conference setting where there are other people, and a sign language translator standing near him.



Although he also set a 10 person max for gatherings, about the protesters he said “I hear you,” and that he pledges to stand with them.  No mention of the 10 people rule or mask enforcement for them.

Regardless of the effectiveness of the masks and max people rules, I think the selective enforcement and lack of example turn it in to a farce.

Dude, our governor doesn't believe in covering his face unless it's with black paint. People might not recognize him when he takes selfies with his adoring public... at the beach... which he closed... two days before giving the mask order.  ;/

Bless his heart, he's just a victim of the disease that afflicts so many politicians.  The irony virus must infect them as soon as they're sworn in, and they don't even know the laws and orders they make apply to themselves.

One good thing about forcing people to wear masks is that many are finding out how bad their breath stinks.
