Ridiculous, unless your face is coming within a foot of another person’s face there is no statistical need for a face mask

Political BS. The Democrats and MSM are using this virus to create fear so people will use mail in ballots They want to steal the election Democrats Corruption THEDEEPSTATE democracy

Ummm no

Pretty o

The photo that accompanies this post isn't the least bit representative of the order.

It may be too late. I hope not

Face Coverings = (I won’t blow my-used-breath to you) It doesn’t mean anything else, including if I am Republicans or Democrats or if I luv Trump or Biden or if I am sick 😷 or not.

Why do they wait for people to die ? this should have been done months ago if they had listened to experts. If this was mandated nationwide just a few months ago (or even now) thousands of people would be alive today. Zero vision

Wow, even this degenerative conservative is listening to science.

What a nasty of a governor!

ah, eventually the plan to kill off all the peasants explodes -- so what happened here, did the horror of realdonaldtrump's lunatic 'leadership' finally get to be too much? even for the staunchest supporters like Abbot, and you, ? FoxNews

But what about 'muh rightz'? 😏🤣😂

So Texas has finally figured out that swagger and posturing are ineffective methods of dealing with COVID.

Hi dougducey you’re next? Az is waiting.

Panic button officially hit!

When the going gets tough, these Republican politicians always revert to liberal orthodoxy... because it's easy... spineless... but easy.

Republican governors are going to have a hard time getting compliance now that they spent so much time encouraging people to defy science & reason.

The only problem is... ...the coronavirus is ≈ 0.1 microns in diameter, but the perforations in a typical N 95 mask are 200 to 1000 TIMES LARGER. This means, by analogy, wearing a mask is like putting up a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes.

If Texas is doing it, then things must be starting to get really bad in the South.

BustilloM Might wanna check that fella for a serious case of whiplash.

President Death.

Abbott belongs in jail for criminal negligence.

Some Republicans can still come around to basic science & common sense after all.

Tyranny for 'your safety'.

Gee, I wonder why🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Good
