Oh no, you're not letting Texas off that easily.

At least Abbot finally reinstated gathering rules and made masks mandatory in Texas. Just, you know, way too fucking late.
I saw someone describe Abbot as "the kind of guy who drinks a diet coke after ordering 3 large pizzas and thinks thats healthy."
He kind of already has. Of course he also thinks they make him look like the Lone Ranger so even when he does wear one (if he wears one & isn't just lying about that as well) he's still getting it wrong.
POTUS saying he accepts masks is the only reason this is happening now. A lot of these Republicans do things on his whims because they know he sets the tone of their voters now. They make masks mandatory while POTUS says they are worthless? He just hurt his election chances in two years. These idiots won't carry out any actual needed safeguards until POTUS gives the okay sign.
Today, the Atlantic Canadian provinces - New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island - opened their borders to each other, created the "Atlantic Bubble." And this is the line-up at the NS/NB border.
EDIT: Correction, Newfoundland is within this bubble, as well.

This is so damn stupid.
Sometimes I really hate this place (country, county, city, state, planet - take your pick). Our local market is NOT enforcing the governor's mandatory statewide order to wear masks in public places. Their workers only wear masks if they're on the floor - if they're in the back rooms they take them off. How do we know? Because every time someone gets called up they have to pause at the door and mask up. Their vendors aren't wearing masks on the sales floor - these are the guys who work for Lays, Franz, etc.; so not their employees, but the vendors are working on their site, so it's their responsibility. They're not doing anything to turn away or even mention mask usage to people who aren't wearing them. They've disconnected their Contact Us form on their website, so it just bounces you back repeatedly, and the reporting line for OSHA only applies to employees. So... we can't report stores for violating mask orders.
And I still really, really don't get all this bullshit whining about wearing a mask. I've been wearing one every time I leave the house for the last two months, and I have no more problem wearing a mask than I do wearing my glasses. Anti-maskers are just bitches, if you ask me.

Sadly, it's not the worst Florida has to offer:
So far.
... "roll over and play dead"?
The EU has shown that it's perfectly possible to suppress the virus while maintaining some semblance of social and economical activity, while not being a complete dictatorship.
The virus isn't completely gone and we'll be dealing with it for months to come, but so far we're facing 1/10rh the deaths you guys are.
