I take care of my 90 yr old mom, so yes I wear a mask. Abbott is just doing what he thinks is right. Nothing more nothing less.
I also have a 90 year old mother in a nursing home and wear a mask when I see her.
Both 90 year olds are vulnerable.
That is NOT what Abbott is doing.
He has used authoritarian powers to tell EVERYBODY to wear a mask, whether 20 or 90, whether healthy or unhealthy.
Never in the history of the world has there been a disease treated by isolating healthy people. One isolates the sick or the vulnerable.
Abbott has stepped too far in his quest for power or his ignorance of this virus.
A governor always has emergency powers, and he executed it.
Since over a month has gone by, his authority has evaporated under the Constitution and he needs legislative authority to continue the charade that a mask is good for Texas and Texans.
I also blame the legislature for not passing a law to support this after 30 days.
