California orders people to wear masks in most indoor spaces

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. -- California on Thursday started requiring people throughout the state to wear masks in most indoor settings and outdoors when distancing isn't possible as the coronavirus continues to spread.

Until now, the Democratic governor had allowed local governments decide whether to mandate masks, an issue that has become politically fraught as some Americans resist orders to wear them. Newsom said he issued the order because too many people are going out in public without face coverings as businesses, restaurants and other sectors of the economy reopen.

Dr. Clayton Chau, Orange County's interim health officer, said the county is still reviewing the state's order, which would supersede his own. Chau last week changed Orange County's rules to recommend instead of require masks, and said he hasn't seen any data since that would make him question that decision.

Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said it's an issue of individual responsibility, not law enforcement. The order also applies to workplaces where people interact with the public, prepare or package food and share common spaces like hallways and elevators. Office workers must wear masks if they can't physically distance.

If masks work, why did businesses need to be closed? If they don’t work, why wear them?

An order isn't going to get those narcissists to do anything. California is screwed.
