I would encourage everyone to watch this video presented by Sky News. This video gives us a snapshot, a 'real life' look inside a hospital in Texas, facing "pure Hell".

Coronavirus cases have seen new highs in Texas over the past few weeks, but even though a group of mayors in the state is concerned enough to want to require citizens to wear protective masks, Gov. Greg Abbott doesn’t believe in forcing the issue.

The mayors of Arlington, Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Houston, Plano and San Antonio sent Abbott a request that they be allowed to mandate masks on Tuesday, and they were met with a clear “no” from the governor’s office. Though Abbott has attempted to stress the importance of wearing masks to protect against an increase in infections, he has staunchly opposed any sort of penalties for those who refuse.

Texas governor denies mayors' plea to mandate coronavirus masks - New York Daily News

The response to a pandemic is top-down. The more cohesive a pandemic response is on a national level, the more effective it will be. Trump decided to ignore the pandemic outright or fight governors who tried executing an effective response, the result being that on a national level the pandemic management was spotty and often pointless. And in red states where governors fought mayors' attempts to manage the response, those responses became even spottier and more useless without coordination at a higher level.

But you don't know how to do math or know basic mathematical concepts that a fourth grader would know, so I fully expect everything I just said to go right over your head.

But the good citizens of Houston are Majority democrat.

Why must there be a Mandate to wear a mask?

Is this supposed to frighten people somehow?

It comes across as an appeal to the emotion of fear, AKA fear mongering, the hallmark of Apocalypse Covid.

Are you "crying wolf"? It appears that way.

Be afraid, very afraid, even though 99% of those infected will survive.

No test kits, then faulty test kits, then widespread testing, combined with poor data gives us Garbage In = Garbage Out.

I live here, maybe the Texas Flag as my Avatar would be a clue, even for you (wink, wink).
FYI most Texas cities are run by Dems, what you don't grasp is Political Party is rarely a factor in Mayoral Elections here. I will also remind you that it was the Governor that refused to mandate masks, that is until opening up too soon bite him, and us, in he rear end. One other clue for ya, the virus does not give a chit what Party you belong to, it is an equal opportunity virus and wishing it away is as stupid as it gets.

So not only do you not know basic math, and not only do you not know the roles of the President and governors in managing a cohesive pandemic response, you also have no idea how to pick a position to defend. So are the mayors trying to legitimately respond to the pandemic or aren't they? Like everything else, you don't know.

In fact, it seems like you don't know anything at all.

Because too many Morons refused to wear them and the virus loves Morons, oh and because the REPULICAN Governor says you must wear them. Too deep for ya???

Is it simple political ideology then? Its not a conservative mayor running things in Houston?

Don't you worry, the Houston Mayor to the rescue

Now if the good people of Houston would just listen to him?

‘I have lost patience’: Houston mayor tells people to wear masks, follow other health guidelines
 
Texas does have a statewide mask mandate now.

COVID doesn't care about political lean.

All the partisan fault-finding is stupid.

Not quite ...

"Metro Department of Health has issued an order to enforce the mandatory wearing of masks or face coverings in public in Nashville and Davidson County. ..."

Metro Department of Health issues order mandating face masks in Nashville starting Monday | WKRN News 2

Nashville is run by democrats, so is Memphis. Both decided to force the public to wear face masks; for the rest of the state it's optional.
