Today, in a very blue college town in a deep blue state, I was lectured for not wearing a mask, OUTDOORS. Because “science”. Well, my science says being about 20’ apart with a 25 mph wind blowing between us, a mask isn’t necessary. Might have have been Knob.

This what happens when idiots empower even bigger idiots with unchecked "authority."

I knew someone could come up with much more appropriate comparisons. Well done. 🙂

Gov. Tate Reeves announced Mississippi will also rescind a mask mandate that required them only in certain counties—the state already dropped a statewide mask order in September—and will lift all business restrictions except in schools and a 50% capacity limit for indoor arenas.

I'm based there and will be there next week and beyond. Can't wait to not have to worry about remembering to take my mask when I leave my room!
