Several governors who refused to impose a statewide mask mandate at the start of the coronavirus pandemic are now reversing course as cases around the country surge past 11,000,000.

, requiring that anyone over the age of 2 wear a face covering when inside of a public indoor space and when they are within six feet of someone who is not a member of their household.

“The pandemic in Iowa is the worst it has ever been,” she said. “No one wants to do this. I don’t want to do this.”, which went into effect on Tuesday, also limits social gatherings to no more than 15 people indoors and 30 outdoors. It also restricts the operating hours that bars and restaurants can open for in-person dining.

“If Iowans don’t buy into this, we lose,” the governor said. “Businesses will close once again, more schools will be forced to go online, and our health care system will fail.”Reynolds, a Republican, had previously dismissed statewide mask mandates as a"feel good" measure, telling WHO-AM radio during a July 15 interview that there was no way to enforce such an order.

The document, which was not publicized, recommended that those states impose more stringent protective measures and ask residents to wear a mask at all times.

People who have the virus still don't believe, this is not a hoax.

The United States and the world need: a great president who can fight for American citizens, faith and justice. (Those hypocrites will accept God's great punishment.) May God greatly bless the wisdom of American citizens! Bless America! 🙏🙏

Please get off of your high horse and just show some news from a variety of MDs and not your talk show people

11,000,000 that's a damn lie

They should pay for their crimes

Or because Trump’s leaving and Republicans can’t pressure them anymore.

Question. WHERE DID THIS SURGE COME FROM! It's bad enough thatThe MandatesTheGovernment IssuedDOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS GOT EVEN WORSEbecause ofTrump trying to turn the U.S. into a slaughterhouse for predators who feed on human flesh,duh!Yeah.. about that..

Why does South Korea, with a population of 50 Million, have 500 deaths. We have 330 million citizens and 250,000 deaths. Trumps administration did not have a solid coordinated plan or work fast enough. But what did you expect from a reality star POTUS TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Trump's silence killed 250,000 Americans. Mass Murderer!!

Gov dougducey AZ claims mandates don't help. Was his recent vacation a free stay at a Trump Resort?

Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Stay in your bubble. Socially distance. Get tested if you suspect covid. If you have symptoms but not severe quarantine. At this point the vaccine will not end covid. It may be here to stay. Covid_19 No corner has been turned.

If walking around the public naked can get you arrested, than those who are not wearing mask should be punished more severely. At least when you're naked, you're not physically hurting the people around you.

How many more citizens have to get sick and possibly die because of this deadly virus which nobody doing anything to stop it while hospitals are being overwhelmed doctors and nurses are exhausted

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE charges seem appropriate.

DAH!!

These officials need to be removed from office. White supremacy is endangering public health without swift and corrective consequences. The result being eugenics by disenfranchisement. accountability WhiteSupremacy justice AOC ColorOfChange WNYC nytimes SenKamalaHarris

.......

Bloody on their hands.

Too little too late. The breakout is ALIVE!

All Govenor’s should follow the example that Vermont’s Governor has set. He truly cares about the people in his State.

To bad they did not listen to science earlier.....250,000 American would not have had to say goodbye to grandparents, moms, dads, sons, daughters and friends.

Mask are the reason do the math

Governors enacting more restrictive mask mandates on the same day that a Dutch controlled study of mask efficacy was released indicating that masks make no difference in the transmission of COVID-19.

Not Abbott though.

That's GOOD. I hope others do too.

What's that sound? The slamming of a barn door as all the horses have cantered off into the sunset.

Better late than never!

Week governors. Masks do nothing. What has this country came to? I will not be a sheep 🐑

'As that the new sorts of viruses against the humans which has lengthy lifespan; amphibious, air-floater, winter(y), summer(y), it is equipped with its source; a miracle from Allah to live in all (seasonal) climates in order to be a worldwide chastisement'

I'd say better late than never, but that would be horrendously shitty considering how many families have experienced an unnecessary loss due to a complete failure of leadership from the top down.
