"In fact, its plainly ominous: More than 80% of the states 105 counties have rejected the governors mask mandate, which they have the legal power to do, in favor of mere recommended mask usage which more local governments are coming to realize is not nearly enough to stem the returning tide of coronavirus cases.
Of those Kansans tested in the last week of June, 8.12% tested positive more than double the 3.6% rate in the first week of June.
Yet, a search of all counties mask policies conducted this week by Mary Sabatini, legislative and communications director for Kansas Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, shows 85 counties have decided to make mask-wearing optional. Only 10 county governing boards, as of Tuesday, had affirmatively adopted the governors order or simply let it take effect in their county."
