Gov. Laura Kelly issued a face mask mandate in early July, and the counties that upheld the order saw a decline in cases, while the counties that opted out saw cases rise, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Friday.

And now the coronavirus situation in Kansas is providing further proof.

As of mid-August, 24 of Kansas’s 105 counties had abided by the state mandate or adopted their own mask mandate, and 81 counties had opted out, as Kansas law allows. At that time, the number of new daily cases per capita – calculated as a 7-day rolling average – had decreased an average of 6% among counties with a mask mandate and increased by 100% in counties without a mandate.

At the time of the governor's executive order, the only other state mandates issued were focused on mitigation strategies for schools. It's important to note that six mandated and 13 nonmandated counties were metropolitan areas, and 13 mandated counties and seven nonmandated counties had implemented at least one other public health mitigation strategy, such as limits of restaurants occupancy.

– It's about time that America starts holding globalist establishment puppet politicians and the corrupt manipulative media accountable.

We finally had a president that was doing something about our traitorous trade and immigration policies – But the corrupt manipulative media, establishment puppet politicians and their masters have been fighting the American People tooth and nail every step of the way.

It’s not rocket science – The sudden economic downturn this year was obviously caused by the Corona Virus and anyone with half a brain isn't buying that other nonsense – We were finally going in the right direction before China released COVID-19.

– China released COVID-19 just in time to lock down our entire country and completely change our election procedures, which removed any real verification of our voting process.

One thing that became obvious during and after the last two presidential elections, is that puppet politicians, the corrupt manipulative media and their globalist masters just consider the American people to be collateral damage in their game of globalization and cheap wages.

2 + 2 do indeed equal 4!! Shock & awe!
