"... what raised your question?"
A change in some, not all, of the grocery stores in the surrounding towns, requiring customers to wear a mask.
It appears that towns run by DemocRAT mayors issued an Executive Order requiring customers wear mask within their city limits,
but Republican mayors did NOT issue such an order.
Down on the coast, the Dem Mayors didn’t do that either...at least not all of them or Ocean Springs would be doing it...I imagine Moss Point may be under their mayor’s thumb - ‘cultural’ population was causing lots of problems early on and I just stopped paying attention.
