Bowser is a Democrat. Can we stop politicizing this now? Just because Trump has chosen to troll the re-open issue doesn't automatically mean that local Dems are going to be against it. Things just aren't happening that way, it's a delusion, it's very much Trump derangement syndrome, to think that who is for and who is against splits along political lines.

I am thinking most businesses' legal advisors will say these are the rules they should follow?

The CDC issued new guidelines on Wednesday detailing how office buildings can reopen following months of social distancing amid the novel coronavirus outbreak. https://t.co/ucOaIzjUzc

How much of a gambler are you, that is THE question:

Harry Sentoso went back to work at Amazon on March 29.

Two weeks later, on his 27th wedding anniversary, he fell unconscious on his way to the hospital. His 20-year-old son never got to say goodbye.

We're talking about reopening. Amazon never closed.https://t.co/gDYjzjjOWa

And Czechs now dropping face mask requirement and now opening pubs, restaurants and hotels:

Czech Republic put in mask rule in March. They’ve basically conquered the epidemic and reopening businesses and lifting mask rule again. 2 months of mask compliance has stopped the epidemic. #COVID19 https://t.co/1dxOPQWykN

Face masks dropped *outside*. The more arbitrary self-defined rule is if you'll be walking among people, you put up your mask, if you're in a clear or sparse section you might take yours down. If you're sitting at an outside table drinking/smoking, *others* can avoid you. So it's as much obvious common sense as an ediict. If you or others feel uncomfortable, put it up. Of course this all relies on having a relatively low infection rate so that moderate safety precautions are effective.

N.B.

The subheading of this article was amended on 28 May 2020 because an earlier version could have implied that there had been a complete drop compulsory face mask wearing.
