but Austin and Travis County refused to comply, saying they were doing so at the guidance of their health authority, Dr. Mark Escott.

Really...Is he supposed to be like Fauci or something?

Are there some people in Austin who do not like mask mandate?

Questions for liberal politicians in Austin...When could people stop wearing masks? They probably are not sure when...

It shouldn’t amaze me anymore but it still does. How easily Democrats can tow the line. They need no instruction. They need no encouragement. They need no marching orders.

It’s instinctive

They need nothing but to worship at the liberal/progressive altar, that is all.

Define "mask".

If there is no standard specification or fit, there can be no claim of effectivity in preventing transmission.

In fact the CDC has claimed for years that only properly fitted N95 masks were of any use in protecting against the common flu.

The law is mute.

"Are there some people in Austin who do not like mask mandate? "

Hell yes there are. I'm one of them. This escott clown along with the mayor (Cabo Steve) have thoroughly enjoyed themselves over the past year, keeping the fear ginned up amongst the Karen crowd over the kung flu.

This goes out to the Texans.Stop telling us how great Texas is.Your state gave us Sheila Jackson Lee and cuck boy Beto O’Rourke. Texas has county judges who fancy themselves as dictators who can do as they please.And who can forget RINO GHWB giving in state tuition to illegal alien invaders.Texas might have been a great state at one time but it’s going the way of New Mexico,Arizona and California

It is a fact, Austin is full of idiot ComDem Leftist.

Your criticism of Texas in general is way off base.

Do you live in Texas?

Have you ever been to Texas?

When could people stop wearing masks?

The day after Affirmative Action is ended, because it is not needed any more.

Which is the day after the California High Speed Train takes its first passengers from here to there and back again.

Which will be the week after Joe Biden declares victory in both the War On Drugs and The War On Poverty.

Texas isn’t immune to the scourge of big blue cities in an otherwise red state. Eventually demographics brought to us by the cheap labor express and dimorat/RINO amnesty is going to bring on one party rule.

I went to this town some months back, and it is about as extreme far left as you can get:

There seemed like a sign every 30 feet.

I was the only one without a mask. If they were going to force me, I was going to force them to arrest me.

I fear the rot is in every state. Even in Oklahoma where every county voted for President Trump, we have crazies. Most are on OK and Tulsa counties. obama never won a county in OK in either one of his runs for President. They are inside the wire, as the saying goes.
