No mask mandate! Years of medical practice and evidence have been thrown out the window for the sake of political tyranny. Previous pandemics with higher morbidity and mortality rates came and went without this draconian measure. A virus with a recovery rate of 99.7% does not require forced mask-wearing. The health care system is not overwhelmed with COVID 19 illness. In fact, health care workers have been laid off or forced to take time off (sometimes unpaid) because of the lack of patients.
