MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) With the rising number of coronavirus cases across Alabama every day, Gov. Kay Ivey has put into effect a statewide face mask requirement.
During a press conference Wednesday, Ivey said that between June 29 and July 13, the total number of COVID-19 cases statewide rose by 50% and that in the first nine days of July, the state averaged 1,000 new cases per day.
As of Wednesday, there have been 58,225 COVID-19 cases reported across Alabama since late March.
Despite our best efforts, we are seeing increased cases every day are still occurring and were almost to the point where our hospital ICUs are overwhelmed, Ivey said.
As part of the order, which will run from 5 p.m. Thursday to 5 p.m. July 31, Alabamians will be required to wear a mask or other facial covering when in public and in close contact with other people, as described in the order.

I hear you - he probably got tired of it also.
It’s not the same.
‘And its pretty clear the masses will continue their metamorphosis into herds of bleating sheep - so little hope of mass disobedience.’
I try very hard not to hate people; but...
Utah governor just did the same thing, dammit.
They are all panicking.
And quite coinky dinkally, conjunctivitis (pink eye) can be covid related.
we are going to have to start throwing the Republicans out of office that are falling for this crap.
I’ve just about had it with the Governor of Texas.
I saw a quote somewhere that stated “ a virus so deadly that you have to get a test to see if you have it”
And replace with Democrats? Shoot self in foot often?
no, I was referring to primarying them
They say biden ahead in polls.
They say c19 is spiking again.
They are full of excremental lies.. we know it and they know it. They have an agenda...and it isnt for anyone’s good.
I dont believe them... and i will never believe them again.
They would walk over their mother to take conservatism out. They dont know we are the only thing between them and utter destruction. If it didnt hurt us also, we could let them find out.
They keep digging their swamp hole deeper... nov will come for us...and we will survive again.
They may show up as ‘dead’ again after their absentee ballot is received.
They are lying. I repaired medical equipment for years. The ICU’S are always full.
Her nickname in Alabama is Mee-Maw.
Yep. I have a pack of masks from several years ago that were for residential use, to block paint fumes, sawdust, all that. I could slap one on and go anywhere, and they aren’t worth a warm bucket of spit.

This is why I call them Simon Sez masks. “Simon Sez, wear your mask for the next two weeks!” “Simon Sez, self-isolate for the next three weeks!” I still think it’s part of a larger social engineering experiment, to see just how much guff the public will take, and the demographic breakdown of those who won’t comply. There isn’t any one puppeteer, they’re working in concert. I don’t think this is ‘The Big One’, nationally or globally speaking. It’s like the old fire drills in grade school, seeing how quickly and efficiently the kids line up single file and march. They’re establishing an operational baseline for when they actually light the fire.
Probably for some people. For others it's not a big deal.
There are numerous studies showing they do work. Also most studies do not include masking the positives only the negatives. When you mask both positive and negative there will be a better effect.

Oh I agree! I call it ‘to see how much the people will tolerate’... and so far.. since WWII.. they tolerate it all pretty silently... as long as the comfort is there and the job is also... (we do work hard)... we tolerate much.
I have also said.. there has been no walking thru Europe in the cold and mud.. no living in a cold dark fox hole... not knowing how family is, for mail is not getting to you... and dead soldiers all around with no time nor place to bury the dead... that is part of WWII. and the ones who do not know what discomfort is... will sit and watch tv and get used to a socialistic living and loss of the very freedoms that give us what we are today.. hey, it isn’t worth the hassle... let someone else stop those pesky democrats. .. yeah they lie.. so does everyone else...
And that is how it goes.. not with me, but with too many. I have grandkids... i’d walk over hot coals to give them a good life... and I don’t tolerate any of this well...
You get it. They want you to live in a gilded cage, and they want to be the fist in a velvet glove keeping you there.
