If these masks are the magic cure all. Why did they empty the prisons afraid the poor prisoners would get covid instead of just handing out the magic masks to the prison population?
Their releases have resulted in crime waves and murders as could have been predicted.
It has become clear that officials in our government have treated the covid pandemic as an opportunity to institute martial law without actually declaring it and doing things that would normally require legal due process by shortcutting the process and stomping on our civil liberties. No one has asked if the governors are allowed to do what they are doing.
There is a provision in most local governments for a temporary creating and implementation of restrictions but not a permanent restriction instituted by decree. No one seems to be willing to question the legal aspects of what is happening.
Also, the governors are selective about these rules by picking and choosing which group or activity is worthy of freedom and which is not.
