The county I live in just passed mandatory mask wearing in public. From what I’ve understood the meeting with the council members and the public was quite contentious, with almost everybody in attendance being against it yet the council voted for unanimously.
There are a lot of common sense exceptions to it like when your social distancing outside and exercising etc.
I guess several of the council members were vehemently opposed to it but when they took the misdemeanor off the table and just made it civil fines they all got on board
I actually applaud it even though it really isn’t going to change much because it seems to me that just about everybody is already wearing masks all the time anyway.
The positive rate in this county is very very high and growing even though the total number of cases is fairly minuscule.
