And masks are only required for employers.

That's why your cases are low, and ours are rising.

Mask slacker covidiots were pretty vile. Even before he announced a mask mandate, they were making an awful racket and threatening to storm the statehouse during the daily press conference. They threatened Dr. Acton believably enough that she was provided with state protection (and ultimately resigned - although she did not expressly state that was the reason). Within a day of announcing the mask requirement, DeWine withdrew it. Ostensibly because the parent of a child with autism explained why their chid couldn't wear a mask. But he also implicitly acknowledged that it would be unenforceable because of the same covidiots threatening to storm the statehouse.

Ohio. Hmm . . . do you think reopening was a bit rushed? [View all] Ms. Toad Jun 2020 OP

Just a bit. LisaL Jun 2020 #1

None of those places are open here in NY (except outdoor seating at some restaurants) Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #2

Outdoor seating at restaurants was permitted May 15. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #5

You can require masks and make exceptions for children with autism, or whoever gets a doctor's note. LisaL Jun 2020 #6

Correct. That's why I phrased it the way I did. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #8

I agree, the exception for one child does not constitute a mandate. Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #10

People with autism grow up - and some are not diagnosed until late in life. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #16

Good grief! I really don't understand these mask rebels. Do they really believe they're immune?? Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #9

I don't understand them either. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #11

You're very right, wearing shirts and shoes doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #15

I try to avoid saying that mask wearing is a political issue - it isn't. It's a public health issue Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #17

I sure agree, it's hardly political and has been said many times, it isn't political anywhere else Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #20

DeWine was actually good (much to my surprise) Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #4

Like I said before, bottom line is, he is still a Republican. LisaL Jun 2020 #7

I was SHOCKED by his proactive response early... Buckeye_Democrat Jun 2020 #30

Maybe just a tad bit. A smidge, LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #12

Yeah. Waiting another day or two would have been great. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #13
