Just because the state government no longer has a mandate does not mean that most businesses are following suit. Surely some of you heard about the woman who was arrested in a B of A in League City TX for not wearing a mask and causing a commotion about it. This happened well after Abbot lifted the state mandate. P.S. If you are wondering about the legality of the arrest. The bank asked her to leave their property and she refused so she was arrested for trespassing.

Ah, good old trespassing and jaywalking. Get's every time.

You literally said "Sure there are some rednecks, sociopaths and other dimwits not wearing masks, but also a lot of educated types who are."

I did not personally mention you as being part of any of those groups. If you choose to include yourself in one of those groups, that is your choice, not mine.

Re Cboi Sandlin "Okay, so tell me, if masks work at all, then when the mask mandate here in Texas was lifted, you would have expected the COVID cases to skyrocket, but that didn't happen, the cases are actually going down."

The trouble with this statement is that you are assuming that all Texans quit wearing masks, which of course is not true. Most Texans who care about keeping those around them safe are still wearing masks. I used to live in Texas and still have lots of family and friends there who tell me what is going on.
Sure there are some rednecks, sociopaths and other dimwits not wearing masks, but also a lot of educated types who are.

The idea that flu cases are low because they have been rediagnosed as coronavirus is completely disingenuous, and easily refuted by looking at countries where there have been low cases of Covid-19. It’s an easy trap to fall into, and I can understand why people do, but it’s false. The reason flu cases are down is because people are wearing masks and social distancing, etc. It is not because flu is being mis-diagnosed as COVID-19. If you don’t believe me, then look at NZ which has had the one of the best responses to COVID-19, one of the lowest death rates from it - AND hardly any flu cases compared to a normal year. In the UK, I have seen people make the same assumption (misdiagnosis), because the UK has a huge amount of COVID-19 cases, but very few flu cases. It is easy to see, therefore, why some people assume this is because flu cases are being misdiagnosed as COVID-19. BUT If that were the case, then you would not expect to see the same extreme decrease in flu cases in NZ, where they aren’t likely to be misdiagnosed as COVID-19, simply because there’s not much of it in NZ. Basically, you can take any country in the world, and regardless of whether they have a lot or only very few COVID-19 cases, there is a notable reduction in flu cases. Also, before anyone wants to call me out, my own medical credentials (or lack thereof) are irrelevant, and I’m not the one in the hospitals that has to determine whether a patient is suffering from flu or COVID-19. And I’m quite happy to believe that the doctors know what they are diagnosing. Basically, in countries with both large amounts of COVID-19, and in countries with low amounts of COVID-19, there has been the same reduction in flu cases. This simply wouldn’t happen if flu were being misdiagnosed as COVID-19 on a grand scale. You’re free to call BS if you like. I’m not trying to change your mind - just stating reported facts. What you choose to do with them is up to you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because they have all been rediagnosed as covid. Flus, colds and covid are all coranaviruses. The PCR test which is being used to test doesn't work. Dr Kary Mullis, inventor of the PCR test has stated publicly numerous times that the PCR test was not designed to diagnose infectious diseases. How they are diagnosing COVID is by simply extracting RNA fragments and then using a computer program to fill in the remaining info. There are hundreds of scientists who have called this all out as a scam in how it's being sold to the public. After taking in hundreds of hours of lectures, debates, discussions and whistleblower testimonies, i have to say that the lack of consensus amongst scientists should cause one to question the official narrative at the very least. For many who haven't learned the intricacies of biology and the money-driven madness of consensus science and what gets funded, you will not understand why many of us are distrustful of the establishment which has a history of fraud.
