We did things a little different in Houston Texas. We didn’t mandate the public wear a mask because they couldn’t enforce it which is very pragmatic. What they did was mandate that all business’s require their patrons to wear a mask to enter and do business if customers didn’t have a mask the business would be fined $1k per person per day.

I went back home to Lafayette La. for Christmas and I saw more people wearing nothing standing 1’ from each other that I have seen in an entire year in Houston.

I put on a disposable mask because it’s a requirement, no other reason.

The point of the comparison is that we wear our masks in public and there is no less of an infection rate.

I like the screen door analogy, I generally use “it’s like trying to stop 5,000 golf balls with a set of football goal posts.
