In inverse proportion to the numbers of Covid cases that continue to decrease, the number, the intensity of, and the repercussions for non-compliance of mask mandates are increasing. The rhetoric associated with bucking those mandates are off the charts. Even vaccinations are declared an invalid reason to not wear masks. You see, masks are now […]
