I don't want to get into a debate about the efficacy of masks but the reason our Governor has mandated them statewide is we are seeing numbers going up, up all over the state.

Doing it county by county would be really pointless, much like how I feel about doing it state by state.

@QueenDanceALot, I couldn't agree more. It's a fact that we are a mobile society. Maybe a little tweaking here and there, but otherwise, I wish we had a rational and science-based national approach. After all, isn't it obvious by now that Covid ignores human boundaries?

People here are pretty much not listening. They are not going to let anyone tell them what to do. They have freedom. If you don't like it stay home. People do not care about anyone but themselves.

@SunSprite N.J. Gov executive order on mask wearing became effective yesterday.

I think the Gov was by all the folks who flock to the shore communities which are along the coast of NJ were like "business as usual" - NO masks & NO social distancing.

Indoor dining is still outlawed. Not happening until the "knuckleheads do the right thing." <---NJ Gov quote.

My town had the law since March. So we were ahead of the game.

Two questions for you:

1. Are you allergic to cats?

2. What's your guestroom situation?

Well, now all businesses can tell them that they can't enter their place of business without a mask by order of the Governor.

So I guess if they don't like THAT, THEY can stay home.

Or risk a fine.

And if a business ignores the mandate they can get shut down.

My Governor (KY) just announced mandatory mask wearing everywhere in public (unless you are outside and able to maintain proper distance) as of 5 p.m. tomorrow.

I am curious if those in other states who have already had this mandate for awhile had noticed an increase in mask wearing in their area since the mandate went into effect.

I am in VA and absolutely. My family and I even talked about how masks are now so the norm that we may even continue after this is all over in our winter cold/flu season next year.

Young and old, everyone has a mask on and so do businesses. I can't think of anyone who doesn't. I jog in the a.m. and do not wear a mask, but I also never see anyone, and if so, we cross the street to avoid each other. Which does bring up, this goes hand in hand with social distancing too.

We also notice the rare person without one, they stand out now.

@Mominohio I am also in OH (Cinci) and yes we are the RED county. I don't go anywhere except hair salon and will go to doctor Wed. But I find it gratifying to see people wearing masks to protect others. I don't like the fabric over my mouth and nose but I'm willing to do it for everyone's health. If we don't take this seriously we will all be sorry later. Stay safe everyone.
