Plus, pediatric hospitalizations are on the rise and Tennessee says it will recommend that vaccinated people be denied treatment with monoclonal antibodies.SALT LAKE CITY -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Wednesday that masks will be required inside temples to limit the spread of COVID-19.

We're all going to die

lol finally My in-laws (Mormons & Trumpers) will stop making fun of my husband (former Mormon) for wearing a mask

Wearing the mask helps us protect ourselves and others, it will be a greater good for humanity and will result in a greater benefit for all. We have to be responsible and do good, for the love of God!
