I live in Texas (DFW), so many people do not wear masks. They don't want to be told to wear one. I've heard reasons such as: that the virus is fake, that wearing a mask is fear, masks harm and don't help, etc.
So many have been going out shopping, to bars and restaurants this past month, no mask, not social distancing. Those that have not have been staying at home and wearing a mask if they do need to get out. Local restaurants just started shutting down this week because employees are testing positive. Hearing hospitals are filling up all over.
Disappointing that defiance of wearing a mask is a political statement. Such ignorance, imho.
Gov Abbot wanted to be one of the first to re-open the state, before seeing the recommended 14 days of decline.
