Great decision.. Can’t imagine a better environment for spreading Covid, than a bus full of senior citizens. Sad that State and Federal governments don’t have the courage to mandate face coverings in public and stop the spread. I can’t understand why some folks ignore Science and common sense and refuse to wear masks. Perhaps masks are too uncomfortable for some “tough” Wyoming people. I guess, they think politicans know more science than doctors. Perhaps they just simply don’t care if they spread covid to others. How it is a “constitutional right” to spread this highly contagious death, to family, friends and anyone else they walk by. Sad when politics overcome common human decency.. SAD!!!

I’m with you Harriett! I have COPD and wearing a mask in pubic can be very uncomfortable to me when I run out of air but I keep it on and am getting used to wearing it. I feel it’s the way out of this pandemic and it is the considerate and responsible thing to do.

Isn’t it interesting Cindy, that none of the adamant “anti- mask” folks have answered our posts with a logical explanation why they won’t wear a mask.
