It is unfortunate that the state is choosing to pursue this. They should let it go (allow the mask mandates) until the surge in cases and hospitalizations is over. Sure, it's not what the governor wants, but he's likely to be worse off in the end.

The farther this is pursued, the harder the federal government is going to push. This is now likely to go to the US Supreme court to decide something that should have been obvious in the first place. Not only that, but the fed govt is now looking for other ways to override the governor including a lawsuit based on discrimination against disabled students. It is a foolish lawsuit that will likely set a precedent for the future and it could have been avoided.

The anti-mask-mandate side has won the latest point but the match is not over yet. When it is, the anti-mask-mandate side may find it has lost more than just mask mandate.

But of course, it may go the other way too. We'll see.

They are NOT banning masks, just the mandate to wear one. Leave it up to the parents and teachers, but NOT the federal government. They hose up everything they get involved in.

Mask mandates TOTALLY ignore the science, but no ones really that into science now that the boogie man is gone...

And some believe 5G technology is causing Covid infections, Covid 19 vaccine magnetizes your body and the Government injects a tracking mechanism into the human body.

Yup this is all true, and it happens because everyone keeps buying microwave ovens that have cameras in them to spy on you for China.

One more political statement and this thread too will be closed.

No, No, No! It's that the Vaccine improves your 5G reception!

And I've personally seen people stuck to their refrigerators!

SCIENCE!

I don't know about microwave ovens, but I certainly don't trust that Alexa b@tch!

Sadly, children are now being infected at higher rates and dieing unnecessary.

There is no perfect solution but the data is quite clear masks reduce the risk of an infected person transmitting the disease.

Especially important for Delta.

Show us the data on masks, I'd prefer RCT studies (Randomized Control Trial)

I'd prefer a nice fat peanutbutter and strawberry preserves sandwich on wheat bread. But, because I am sensitive to the fact that peanut allergies are apparently a "thing" these days, I, a human being who actually cares about humanity, will make sure that if I consume this thing in public, no one within spitting distance of me is allergic. And if they are, *I* will move a few feet away so as to not cause them undue stress.

Because if a minor inconvenience to me might prevent harm to someone else, I'll comply.

Google is your friend and will return many entries including these three:
Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers

An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19

Effectiveness of Mask Wearing to Control Community Spread of SARS-CoV-2

Though I have no doubt they will not be sufficient to change your opinion.

I was surprised to find no articles reporting that masks do not help. None said masks were 100% effective but I did not notice any that said masks were 10)% ineffective.
