IL is following the pseudo science where by viruses are only present when you walk in a restaurant. I personally do not believe we are dealing with a virus. I believe we are being told that to enforce the mRNA shots. All the Governors promoting this fake science, ignoring antigens, masking risks, etc should be put on Federal Lock Up!

North Carolina has mask mandates in a few counties. Guilford County, which has been run by lunatics for years, is on its third mask mandate. Even when they are not under a mandate, there is no shortage of people going about with masks on, but you never see them in surrounding counties where normal people live.

In Guilford County the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners ordered masking in "Unincorporated" parts of the county, because that was all he could do without an actual vote. later, the Commissioners imposed masking throughout the county (Again) in a vote that went along party lines.

I wouldn't trust this map. Maryland for example doesnt technically have a statewide mandate buuuut all state employees are required and many counties require it, so doubt this is a useful tool for anything beyond hopium addiction.

So, like the map portrays, you’re saying that Maryland doesn’t have a statewide mandate?

I'm saying reality is more complex and the map is misleading.

It’s showing the states with Mandates. It is not a map about employer requirements. No one cares about that it’s out of our control. People can choose to work somewhere else. Mandates are an over reach of power in Democratic states which proves this is a political exhibit!

I am merely pointing out that the map isn't cause for electoral hopes, that merely showing govt mandate doesn't tell the whole story.

According to our governor, Illinois is following "the science."

I'm sorry for the kids having to wear masks! I just saw this in my Virginia paper today: "Group of 13 Chesapeake parents sue Youngkin over scrapping of statewide school mask mandates." Youngkin is Virginia's first Republican governor in a long while.

We went a few weeks ago to a hospital in New York for a consultation. Very strict about masks in the hospital. Very few wearing masks in Manhattan outside.

Now, don't tell me you've never heard of Political Science. They teach it in all the universities.

The top map has actually been the Dem electoral starting point forever. Those states are a lock and everything else is in contention. Unless the redistricting efforts under way get better fast for the GOP, the Dems are going to fare pretty well despite being solidly behind in control of the state houses. Last I heard was a few weeks ago, but at that point it looked like the Dems were only going to lose two seats. This is because they played smash-mouth in CA and their other strongholds. The GOP makes nice. The Dems make hay.

In the past few days, DeSantis has submitted his own redistricting map to the FL legislature, MO has gotten the message their make nice map doesn't work for voters. Shaping up, I think, but wouldn't if The People didn't step up & say what they wanted.
