20. We are definitely wearing masks in Texas.

Oct 2020

Under the governor's executive order customers are required to wear masks when going to a business. The last time I went grocery shopping I would say that 90% of the people were wearing masks and the percentage is even higher at Walmart.

Within the past week the number of people that are infected and hospitalized has increased after several weeks of decline. I think that a Biden visit to San Antonio or one of the Rio Grande Valley cities would have the most impact to get Hispanic voters to go vote.
