Mask-wearing is required in all businesses and whenever leaving home, health officials emphasized. Consistent mask-wearing is critical to preventing the spread of covid-19.
Covid won’t disappear…but the manufactured panic will. The real leaders of this nation, the media (mainstream and social) no longer have to propagate this to hurt Trump…they won. If that’s what it takes to stop the pain…then I’m happy with the result.
I thought it would disappear on election day. Hahaha another stupid Republican theory debunked.
