Texan here. Had a lefty coworker today start a meeting saying she "is back in the land of idiots". I asked her what she meant by that. She said our "stupid Governor Abbott ended the mask mandate and now all the cases of COVID are going to increase." I simply told her I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. She continued to REEEEE about it though.
Indeed the salt mines are flowing heavy today!
Looks like the mask mandate would still continue.
The legislation would also bar Cuomo from creating new emergency directives without a sign off from legislative leaders and relevant committee chairs and would only allow the extension of existing directives if they are directly tied to managing the pandemic.
The deal would allow some of the existing directives to continue, such as the statewide mask order.
It's sad it comes to this. I feel bad for these kids.
