Well, where are all the anti-masker fools? We should be hearing from them about how great things are going without the mask mandate.

Many people in stores are wearing masks in Joplin, but many are the store owners and employees. I am a nurse and whether or not a mask keeps me and my family from getting COVID-19 or something else airborne, I sure feel better with one on.
