Something tells me that my comment on this thread might not go over too well:
“Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo to issue mandatory mask order”

My comment: “Sounds reasonable, about the only way to slow the spread.”
Mandatory mask orders were common in the 1918 pandemic.
Also common were ‘anti mask leagues’ and ‘anti mask committees’.
During the first wave at least.
During the second wave they largely STFU and wore masks.
