Texas governor orders all Texans to wear masks

VT: Abbott didn’t get the message about “stamping out the embers” or how it was “going to go away on its own,” Trump’s new and old solution, denialism.

Yes, go ahead, truck Fump, right in his tailgate.

Guardian: Texas governor Greg Abbott today issued an executive order requiring all Texans to wear face masks at public gatherings. Here’s the announcement from Abbott’s office:

AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott today issued an Executive Order requiring all Texans to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with few exceptions. The Governor also issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges the ability to impose restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over 10 people, and making it mandatory that, with certain exceptions, people cannot be in groups larger than ten and must maintain six feet of social distancing from others.

“Wearing a face covering in public is proven to be one of the most effective ways we have to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Abbott. “We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another—and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces. Likewise, large gatherings are a clear contributor to the rise in COVID-19 cases. Restricting the size of groups gatherings will strengthen Texas’ ability to corral this virus and keep Texans safe. We all have a responsibility to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe. If Texans commit to wearing face coverings in public spaces and follow the best health and safety practices, we can both slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep Texas open for business. I urge all Texans to wear a face covering in public, not just for their own health, but for the health of their families, friends, and for all our fellow Texans.”



Here’s the executive order.

As the Dallas Morning News notes, the move is a reversal from earlier this year when Abbott blocked local lawmakers from requiring people to wear masks.

  1. That governor was terrified to do that presser. But at least he did it. That is the only good thing that can be said. The guy is not qualified to be a governor of any state.

  2. …the only thing masks are gonna do is maybe help some people lose weight by keeping them from constantly shoveling food into their mouths….psyops…it is all psyops…if wearing a mask could protect me from the reality of the economic disaster that is coming down the pike, i might wear one…show us this virus, and i don’t mean a computer generated image…tell people just how big a virus is….speaking of food, was I?…oh yeah, last time I checked 40 million americans are on food stamps…maybe those food stamps are feeding like three people each…that is like 120 million people everyday, almost the population of Russia everyday…40 million americans out of work as the government borrows more and more, backed by the good faith of the american people, to be paid off by their labor and taxes….yeah right, better raise the minimum wage to 100 bucks an hour….hey i got an idea…just wear a mask and everything will be just fine….

    • Those of us with fixed incomes and managed funds are doing fine…as long as we don’t ask how others are doing.
      Or are ‘conservatives’
      Which means we don’t care.
