And just in time for me, with plumbers invading my apartment to repair a leaking pipe that's under the foundation around the restroom.

The owner of that company acted like he didn't want to wear a mask when he came inside last week to diagnose it.

lack of leadership in the early stages of the outbreak? Why was he more interested in scoring points with voters than taking responsibility for fighting a public health emergency?

All these other Johnny Come Lately Republican governors are going to follow him, especially now that they see the spate of horrendous polls showing how weak Trump has become. Will they offer a fake apology to the families of all those people who died because listened to their misleading rightwing political propaganda instead of the scientists and medical professionals?

Everything Republicans touch dies. It's a fact!

... among other proactive measures.

He even announced a mask mandate long ago, then backed down because Republicans in Ohio were so outraged by it.

So he's been mostly spineless after getting flack from those idiots. He should've stopped trying to appease them long ago. Many of them are already declaring him a RINO.

Was in store today in Pennsylvania and we have mandatory mask in place. In store I saw a guy I knew from my active drinking days he was shopping . I went to front desk I told the managers. They just asked if I wanted check out and pay there.

Then rescinded it, he gave in to the nut jobs and crazies. So we see where that went ...

Now if only every mask wearer gets that it has to cover your nose, too.

going to get real bad. Trump all of a sudden says wear a
mask and now Republican governors are mandating it. They are desperate to get it under control before the election.
