At least that way they won’t be suggestible to “Mask Mouth.”

Back in the 60’s Cook county Illinois had a sheriff by the same last name who was also Republican and would issue similar orders
I would think that for certain jobs like police work, a mask could, even if only in a small way, debilitate the officers ability to physically do his job, making heaving breathing while running difficult, potentially obscuring vision in a physical altercation, etc.
Yeah, never mind about the rest of the work force who’s safety demands good clear communication...
What a joke.
Yay! Maybe the tide is turning. This mask stuff is so stupid.
However, there’s another county in Florida where they hired special mask police to detain and fine people not wearing masks OUTDOORS. DeSantis needs to put a stop to this.
The mask police are basically a replacement for speed traps, that is, revenue for cities collected from innocent, harmless citizens on the basis of arbitrary or even falsified violations of local ordinances.
Safety for them, not for you!
That’s my sheriff! Some background info...the City of Ocala, FL (same county as this sheriff, Marion) city council voted last week to enact a mandatory mask order, if unable to socially distance, to be enforced by BUSINESSES (including Churches)! The ordinance was useless as it was to be enforced by the businesses with penalties as follows 1) a stern talking to, 2)verbal warning, 3) written warning and 4) $25 fine. Needless to say it was met with much disdain by the community. The police chief (city, not the county sheriff who’s mentioned in this article) said they will not respond to “no mask” calls and the Mayor vetoed the city ordinance based on the community outcry but the city council is holding an emergency meeting this week to possibly override the veto.
Masks are completely worthless for viral containment. There are many NIH studies done over several decades that all make this perfectly clear.
An epidemiologist on the Ingraham Angle about 6 weeks ago was asked about cloth masks and viruses. His answer was unique. He said, wearing a cloth mask to prevent viral infections is like putting a canopy of chainlink fencing over your property to keep mosquitos out.
Two days ago my wife of 59 years next month called as she was leaving an appt to come home, to see if we needed anything from a store near her.
She had her mask, on and at first, I didn’t recognize her voice.
Later she challenged me on that reality, and I told her to call one or both of our adult sons on her phone to see if they recognized her.
Neither 50 something son recognized her at first.
She is from the midwest and has zero accent. Our sons are in their mid fifties, and they know their Mother’s voice.
If her mask interfered with her voice on a phone that much, what the hell else is it doing?
