It's not (just) about stupidity and ignorance, it's the power

no, dear; no it isn’t
Although there’s plenty of the first two oozing from the Governor’s Mansion. Oregon Governor reimposes an outdoor mask mandate on her subjects.
I’ve posted so many links to these studies that I’m sick of doing so, but I’ll repeat: there are NO cases of outdoor transmission of the Chinese virus; not in Australia, as that country’s health authority has admitted (while maintaining a mandate of its own), and not anywhere else in the world, as even the NYT has reported. For that matter, the Governor’s claim that “it’s been proven that masks are effective in stopping the disease” is also a boldfaced lie. Which she certainly knows, but who cares, if the plebes will swallow it?
In Australia they’re sending soldiers door to door and flying drones overhead to catch citizens breaking prison and standing in their backyards. Hell, they’re even shooting pets, all in the name of pursuing the impossible goal of “eliminating” COVID. That won’t happen — it can’t — but so long as it remains elusive, governments will have an excuse to maintain and expand their power. Oregon is not alone in this, merely the vanguard.
