Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Indiana’s mask mandate will end April 6, a decision that comes after mounting pressure from within his own Republican party.

Holcomb will join the leaders of six other states who have lifted mask mandates, a move that goes against the advice of the Centers for Disease Control, which still recommends masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Alabama and Utah are set to lift their mask mandates in April as well.

Masks still will be recommended, the governor said in his news address on Tuesday.

Face coverings will remain mandatory in all state buildings and all vaccination and COVID-19 testing sites. K-12 schools will also still be expected to follow the current mask requirements already in place.

We have mask mandates lifted in Texas, but most stores in Dallas still require. How will this ever end? Too bad they can’t make it illegal to require a mask. Stores should give customers a choice. The maskers can double up if they are so scared.

Many dentists had observed an increase in problems such as cavities and gingivitis attributed to mask wearing.

Order rescinded “under pressure from Party”.

So, not really science, after all. Hmmm...

The science wasn’t there for masking in the first place.

Two Public Health Districts in Idaho killed their mask mandates this week: the Panhandle Health District (North Idaho, five counties) and the Southwest District Health (six counties).

“I urge we rescind this silly mask mandate and let our people get back to normal lives,” Panhandle Health District board member Allen Banks said in his motion.

Yay for Banks!

Exactly. They won't, though...which shows you who is really in charge.

Unfortunately our POS Governor who resembles a mannequin (Evers in WI) still has the mask mandate.

We have a wear a mask at work, including when we are on the phone and even in the breakroom. It is the most ridiculous policy ever implemented.

Pushing back against the tyrants can work ::

Three Idaho churchgoers who were arrested last fall for not wearing masks at an outdoor service are suing city authorities for violating their constitutional rights.

It doesn’t stop the businesses from requiring masks so it has feel good written all over it does not change facts on the ground very much. It will impact government buildings owned by the state but not federal or local governments.
