A major reason for moving the bulk of the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Jacksonville, Florida, was the north Florida city's intent to make the renomination spectacle for President Trump mask-free.
Until Monday, when, according to Politico, Republican Mayor Lenny Curry was finalizing a citywide mask order amid a spike in COVID-19 cases across Florida. That new rule would extend to indoor events as well. The GOP convention is slated to be hosted at Jacksonville's Veterans Memorial Arena on Aug. 25-27.
The GOP initially had planned to host its gathering in Charlotte but ultimately moved its location to Florida after a spat between Trump and the governor over whether city and state government, with a Democratic governor of North Carolina and a Democratic mayor of Charlotte, would allow such a large, indoor gathering in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Wearing masks, which virtually every public health expert agrees is a way to cut down the transmission of the coronavirus, has been a sore spot for Trump, who is often seen in public not wearing one.
The Trump campaign has repeatedly mocked presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for wearing a mask. In May, the campaign released several Facebook ads chiding Biden for his face covering. That same month, Biden called Trump an " absolute fool" for failing to abide by government guidelines encouraging mask use.

These masks that people are wearing are honestly just gross and disgusting. Most use the masks multiple times, which I can understand, but yuck. Every single thing you touch, ends up on your mask when readjusting, or removing. I’m pretty sure they end up in between uses on the car seat, the bath counter, the bottom of a purse. Again, yuck.
We need to remind these karens that we are very grossed out by their disgusting masks.
You know how to get over stage fright you are supposed to invision the audience in their underwear? Well, the same goes for these harpies. Instead of being in their underwear, invision them wearing said underwear over their face. It is probably just as sanitary.
It’s just a review of other studies.
The RINO mayor of Jacksonville, Lenny Curry (AKA Lenny Coward) implemented this stupid effective at 5:00PM today. The Mayor is so cowardly he decided to take day off for “personal” commitments and let his minions announce it on the virtual COVID-19 brief broadcast on the local stations. To the vast credit of the local TV & radio stations, the repeated asked the minions what the enforcement policy would be and not one of them could answer the question. Not one.
To the additional credit of the local stations the noon-time news anchors, they ALL reported that there were no answers to their questions about enforcement.
Numerous questions about the impact on the RNC convention, the minions all pretty much shrugged their shoulders and said “we’ll see.”
Why implement this crap now? Why was the Mayor afraid to do it himself? He could have delayed the announcement until tomorrow if he was going to be absent today. I am just so sick and tired of this crap.
However, I am confident that the mortality number will continue to decline some as the actual deaths are adjusted downward to better match the actual cause.
It has nothing to do with how you look. It has to do with ignoring the reality that masks are useless against a virus. Check out the science. Are you a fearbro?
I thought it was how you identify sheep.
Someone here said that.
Liberal snake
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
You re using the WHO as scientific evidence haha they’re the ones that helped us get covid-19 and you’re using the World Health Organization as your evidence dumb totally dumb
Masks are a useless lie
No
Uh... another totally useless so-called scientific evidence the number of covid-19 deaths and covid-19 per million are you freaking kidding me...............????
Statistics on covid-19 are totally useless because hospitals record covid-19 for somebody with a sprained toe because they make more money if it’s a covid-19 you’ve got to be kidding you pick the lousiest dumbest science so-called so-called science evidence
Ahh answer to enforcement.... are you ready are you really really ready okay here it is here’s the enforcement....
a warning that’s it
It is a shame that so many governors seem to believe that a high number of cases/deaths hurts Trump. This is more important to them than helping the American people through a serious health crisis.
It is true that you get more of what you subsidize and less of what you tax. Covid deaths are subsidized in hospitals so they have a monetary incentive to count any possible deaths as Covid. I doubt that this is happening any where else in the world.
You can't get into a hospital if you have C19 unless it's an emergency.
Duh!!!!!
The patient goes in for something else a surgery or some emergency room issue or some other hospitalization and then he also gets a covid-19 diagnosis whether he was tested or not....it’s about the money...dying of dementia...the diagnosis is covid
Speaking of Florida...
By the time the convention hits the mask DEMAND will be over!!
Move it again.
