The length of the mask mandate is inversely proportional to the IQ of the issuer. (For congress-critters, that means that the more stupid - and therefore leftist - you are, the longer you will want the mandate to be active.)
Give it two weeks and they will step in line. They just have to appear to be different. And for what it’s worth, almost nobody up here seems to be wearing masks and those who are trying to keep up are finding people are either not coming into their businesses or are ignoring the signs (which generally say something mealy-mouthed like, we know you don’t have to wear a mask, but we would like it if you did).
Slowly but surely sanity will return at least for the majority, I am sure there is a small fanatical group who love masks and everything they suggest (which is shut up and obey the government).
