  1. Why can’t people decide for themselves about masks?
    Are we really living in such a nanny state?

    Concerning RFRA; boy has it really changed everyone’s lives, what a burden.

    1. Because individuals often do not think or act with other people’s well being in mind. We live in a society that depends on cooperation and mutual understanding of threats. Some people refuse to acknowledge any threat during this pandemic. Yes, others have overexaggerated the threat as well. But cases are rising again because so many refuse to take the simplest steps to protect themselves and those around them It’s that easy. Where a mask in public. Social distance as much as possible. Live your life.

      RFRA isn’t a burden because it was changed to be constitutional. The original version was not constitutional because it discriminated against protected classes of people. Or did you forget that part?

    1. IBJ regularly uses AP articles. What additional information should they have added to appease your needs?

    2. Hey Joseph – why should I subscribe to the IBJ? To read their lazy re-posts? Does not surfing other sites “appease” your needs?

    3. Can’t tell you what you should do, Tim. You’re the one who made the comment. It’s pretty standard practice for newspapers to use AP articles though. Maybe you weren’t aware of that fact.

  2. How is this a news story? Of course it’s going to be extended. For all the Libs posting their idiocy, can you explain the recent increase in positive cases with a mask order in place now for a couple months?

    1. A Republican governor (far from a “Lib”) implemented the mask requirement and will presumably extend it so maybe you should be careful using the word “idiocy”: You look rather idiotic.

      I’m curious what you think is causing the recent increase in positive cases and why you think eliminating the mask requirement will improve the positivity rate.

    2. Mike, the idiocy I am referring to are the comments about: Trump being divisive, R’s only doing the right thing in a crisis, and my favorite, somehow referencing RAFA in a conversation about masks. I am fine with the mask mandate, and am certain it will be extended, which I said it shouldn’t be a story. I would love to know why positivity rates are up and why testing is down by about 5000 a day. Back to the idiocy, I am downtown while typing and have lost count of the number of people walking in the open air by themselves, wearing a mask.

  3. The one thing that Trump has successfully accomplished is further dividing the public along partisan lines. Public health and safety should not be a political issue, yet some of you are making it one. As Joseph said, wear a mask and social distance and we can actually conquer this together.

  4. It has nothing to do with Trump. Yes, he acted like an idiot with his case, but I find it amazing how this has been partisan from day one. Hard core Libs want to hide in the basement and hardcore R’s are saying to go full send as normal. Opinions moderate as you slide to the middle. Masks and distancing help mitigate and buy time but are not going to “conquer” covid. It will be conquered by modern medicine and probably mitigation of the virus itself.

    1. How do you explain Taiwan, South Korea, and China? They have virtually no new cases. No vaccine, just old school collectivism.
