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 we’re 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 lived in Chambers County for a while. During that time I went to a party in Montgomery with my parents. A lady, apparently a mental health professional) inquired where I lived. When I replied, she asked if I knew that there were more mental cases (or similar terminology) in Chambers County per capita than any other Alabama county. I replied that I didn’t know it, but certainly believed it. :)
After living here for 21 years, I don’t doubt it. I’ll give my wife a pass on that - she’s an Atlanta transplant. LOL
The senile granny got rolled.
“Ivey is a waste of space. She sounds like a real dummy.”
Yeah, Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies had more common sense.
“Poison” Ivey.
My previous comment was made using the word as an adjective, not a verb, of course.
Word.
