Even our great (thank you for your service BTW) Dallas County workers are not bothering with social distancing or masks, are they? They are just like the rest of us, are they not? Masks are becoming the exception and not the rule more and more. Please, could someone explain all of these exceptions that are becoming numerous (and are not causing rises in hospitalization nor increasing the declining death rate here in Iowa), while the powers-that-be are still demanding we follow their dictates (that are not laws, by the way)? We all know multiple instances where the “rules” are not being followed (as in this picture) because it would be silly to do so, but our politicians just continue with trying to tell us what to do and shame us.
