Well, I think it was because they saw crowds of people in Louisville on TV,
often doing dumb things, that were only wearing masks if they were trying to
hide their identity... but most were not... and that put them off of it.

Most of the people I knew who got real sick, if I was around them enough to
notice, did not take the masking too seriously or let their guard down
after a while.  OTOH, I wore mine when I was supposed to and if I got sick I
never knew it.

Maybe I am just lucky, though.

I honestly think he is an attention hound.  Someone would question or make
fun of something he said and, instead of sticking to his guns, he'd say
something to bait them... like the "maybe you should wear two masks"
statements.

To my knowledge, our state health spokesperson, who was almost always on TV
during the governor's updates, always stuck to his message.  Unlike Fauci,
that made him seem much more trustworthy.

I know too many who got real sick and too many who died to believe that.
Most of them either got sick pre-vax, or didn't get vaxxed, so it wasn't
the vax that killed them.

Are they state controlled in Michigan?  In Kentucky, you have to have a
license but they are not state owned or run, but I know they are in other
states (IIRC, Ohio).  Kentucky would have taken a big hit on incoming taxes
generated by the liquor industry, though.

Our WalMart kept doing it, through at least that whole first Summer, so maybe
it was a company (or local store) policy.

Oh it didn't make sense to me but, to an elitists whose never participated
in such activities, it might.

I think Cuomo got me-too'ed so that they could get him out of the way
before he got in trouble for the COVID-related shennanigans.
