Alabama just announced a mask mandate. Good.

It expires at the end of the month. Bad.

No idea how "mask" autocorrected to badly.

Staff. A little help on the title.

As a new resident of the state, I'm curious how many will actually follow it. We're in Jefferson county which already has a mandate and I've seen masks on most people, although they have also been wearing them incorrectly.

I agree...it will be interesting to watch.

The church of the highlands rolled back their opening after have RSVP, masked, socially distant services for 2 or 3 weeks. They have gone remote again for at least the remainder of the month. So that was good to see.

Please explain why this is bad.

Even if they got 100% compliance from day 1, 2 weeks isnt long enough to have any positive or negative impacts to even even begin to show in the data.

Please explain why it isn't. It's a pointless "mandate" given the moronically short timeframe.

I thought a 2 week change was enough to "flatten the curve"

Perhaps the dynamics of coronavirus transmission are more complex than wear a mask/don't wear a mask and a nuanced approach including reevaluating the situation is warranted.

Yep, seems like the exact same scenario as what Bama is doing. The mask mandate was added to the stay at home initiative which was then extended. I have to imagine Bama will do the same thing.

Why? Gives a clock. These mandates and closings need a system of checks and balances or they will become a new normal. That cannot happen. For something that is not proven yet to work, a limit is a refreshing thing to see. And they could always extend it.

I am getting the feeling a lot of you are totally fine with all of this lasting indefinitely. It cannot ultimately. Its not human or how we evolved. For a worse virus, perhaps. But we have to have an understanding that eventually, IF there isn't an answer such as a vaccine or effective treatments, we will have to throw away the masks, open it all back up and be able to gather and perform all business as if there is not a virus.

So, what is "enough time" than? This is the issue. There must be limits.
