In georgia, the republican governor is suing the mayor of atlanta over the face mask mandate. He filed a lawsuit on thursday. Louisiana,rofiled where the Republican Attorney general issued a legal opinion on quarantine on wednesday, stating that John Bel Edwards order requiring face covers and limiting indoor gatherings is likely unconstitutional and on and or civil. Hes been in court team since quarantine since testing positive for the virus. Those are some examples of restrictions going on when it comes to travel. The publication Philadelphia Tribune has a list of restrictions some states are imposing. Alabama, arizona, delaware, florida, it goes on from there, saying that people from new york, new jersey, connecticut, must selfquarantine at their own expense when they enter florida and violators may be fined up to 500 or imprisoned for up to 60 days. The story adding that with the number of cases spiking across florida, the mayor of miamidade ordered all shortterm Vacation Rentals closed. Some examples coming from the sunday shows, mike dewine talking about rises in coronavirus cases in his state, and what he might possibly do to counteract that. We have seen that go up as the counties turn red, we are going the wrong way and at a crucial time, so this week you may see a lot more counties under the mask requirement. We would certainly not will out going statewide, looking at that. But you know, theres a lot of things going on. One of the things we have tried to do, we are running tv ads, we are going to start a new ad this coming week that we will preview on tuesday where the message really is that you wear a mask for other people, to protect your grandmother. So its not just the order. The orders are obviously important, but getting people to buy in and understand, getting a 20yearold to understand that he or she may feel invulnerable, like nothing is going to happen to them, but they may get it, not know they have it, go home, see their grandmother, she may get it, she may end up dying. Thats the message we are trying to get out across the state. Host there are other examples, but if you want to give us examples from your state and if you support or oppose those restrictions, the numbers are available to you if you support those restrictions, 202 7488000. If you oppose them, 202 7488001. You can always text us, tweet us, and post on our Facebook Page. Joe, supporter of restrictions, florida. Youre up first. Tell us why. Caller i support. It protects your life. I mean, how many people have died . This is no joke. This is serious. Protectinge you yourself, you are protecting others, your loved ones. Sense. Mmon listen to the experts. Dont listen to trump. Thats why we have this problem. When you see the numbers, hes doing badly and he might lose because of this. This might be his downfall. When it comes to restrictions in pennsylvania, how oppressive are they . Im originally from texas. I live in the valley. You wont believe it, i have , they have ado and in some places places its 2500. Speeding, going 50 miles per hour, im going to get fined, right . Stopped by speeding . We have to make it strict. It protects life. Its common sense, listen to the experts. Host ok, doug, oppose, tell us why. Caller because there has been no consensus from the beginning on this. We were told not to wear a mask. That was at first. Because you dont work in a hospital. They need to figure out whats going on and they cant because they dont really understand the virus yet and until they have a full profile on this virus, how it is working, how it is mutating, these restrictions going back and forth, opening things, shutting things, its having in adverse effect on the economy. Businesses are closing for good, people are losing their jobs. Devastating. The authorities who are in charge of this need to sit down and to figure out exactly whats going on to the best of their ability and then Everybody Needs to be consistent. Host to what extent are restrictions happening . Caller its the governor who is laying this down and his decisions i think are politically based. He owns a winery and his winery was open when he told everyone else to shut theirs down. Thats a political consideration. This county by county, and i get that, but again there needs to be consistency. You are confusing people. You are not helping them by going back and forth. They need to get a consistent understanding and then they need to tell people look, this is what we are faced with. We got through the spanish flu in 1918 and yes, it was disastrous, but we got through it. Doug, in san jose. Mayor garcetti was on cnn, yesterday, talking about the possibility of another stayathome order there. [video clip] how much worse does it have to get in los angeles before you feel compelled to issue another stayathome order . I think we are on the brink of that, but as i told people over the last week, mayors often have no control over what opens and what doesnt and thats at a state or county level and i agree that those things happen too quickly, but we are smart about this. Its not just about whats open and close, its about what we do individually. The people getting together outside their households with people they might know. Extended family, friends. They might think that because they got a test two weeks ago, it they are ok, but its not. The virus preys on us when we are exhausted and have no unified National Front or as individuals think this aint going to be a big deal. We have to be as vigilant right now as we were on the first day, like we did in the first or second month. Seeing hopeful signs and we have to be patient close things down. Wait a few weeks for things to take effect and be patient when you reopen things so that you dont have this domino effect. Last week restaurants, next week the bars, the week after that everything is open. Thats a failed way to go forward. Listen to the science, track the and be smart. Eddie, seattle, supporter of restrictions. High. Thanks for taking my call. Lets start off with something simple. Just wearing the masks. Things of that nature. One of the biggest problems our people are saying they want their cities and everything to open up again and they want their economy to open up so that everybodys going back to work. The most simple, basic things we have to do, we have a problem with that. Just saying where the masks. Thats all. People complaining about their first right amendment and i dont see nothing in the first right amendment that says it infringes on your freedom to protect number one, others from you, and then yourself in social gatherings. If we know that this is all causing problems, why would we continue to disobey and then get upset when they wont was city shut down or estate shutdown because the pandemic is spreading . I support what we need to do to curb out this pandemic so that we can continue to move forward. Jane, mount sterling, ohio. On the oppose line. Caller appreciate you having me on and doing the show. Host youre on, go ahead. Caller yes, i dont support any of the decisions being made in ohio or across the country, based on the data. Ohiow that for a fact in that there have been test results that have come back as positive that are inaccurate. I have friends that have actually had this happen. There was a friend of mine that was in line for the drivethrough testing, the line was so long that she decided to not complete the drivethrough testing. Two days later she received in the mail a positive test result. A positive receive test result when she didnt take the test . You heardnt know if governor dewine talk about putting up more restrictions, but thats something you are opposed to as well . Caller absolutely. I live in a rural county that was one of the first counties that was put under a level three red alert. To wear is required masks. The county commissioners and Health Department were not even notified that he was going to put us under a level three. There was no input at all by the county. The county does not have an increase in cases. It just so happens that the National Guard was here the week before doing the drivethrough testing. That just coincidental . I dont believe that our cases in ohio are increasing by the thousands every day. Host ok. Jane, ohio thank you. Another supporter of restrictions from palm springs. Yes. R i live through when we started having seatbelts and people thought that was, they were opposed to that. Anything that saves lives, especially older people, at any age, if it saves lives, lets do it. What do we have to lose . Host you dont think it goes too far or restricts daily living . Some people have complained about that. Caller no, im not complaining. Im in one of those compromised positions where whatever people are doing, thank you for wearing your mask and protecting me. Thanks a lot for taking my call. Ithub,he website, while ub, takes a look at restrictions, from whether daycares have reopened to whether face masks are required in public. On the state ranking, the additional insight is from a panel of experts with methodology there on the website when it comes to the states that have the least fewest amounts of covid19 restrictions. Top of that list, south dakota. Followed by wisconsin, utah, wyoming, oklahoma, arkansas, iowa, nebraska, South Carolina rounding out the top 10, states with fewest restrictions. Restrictions in your state or locality, thats what you are talking about. If you support them, 202 7488000. If you oppose them, 202 7488001. You can also post on our social media, to. Brian on facebook this morning saying that in maryland he supports what the governor there, larry hogan, is doing. Host if you want to text us your thoughts, you can do so at 202 7488003. We will go to jan, daytona beach, florida, who opposes restrictions. Good morning, go ahead. Caller how are you doing . Host im good, go ahead. Aller surgical masks have two macron to 10 macron filtration capacity. Coronavirus is 1. 12. That theo possible way masks do anything other than restrict a persons breathing. I believe the mask situation is a ruse so that when the second wave comes through, these people will not be able to handle what happens to them. You need fresh air and it wont protect you from coronavirus. Host support line, california, hello. Good damna dm current science denying head in a bubble americans that we are stuck with today were not needed to fight world war ii. They arepeople think such champions of american liberty and all the rest of that , if they were needed to fight the japanese empire and the nazis, today we would be speaking japanese west of the mississippi and german east of the mississippi. Host so, why do you support the restrictions . Going forward, its despairing to me. How are we ever going to make the sacrifices that we are going to need to make to beat back the Carbon Pollution in the atmosphere and the instruction of climate stability. Of thesethe supporting restrictions, as you called on, why do you support them specifically . Caller specifically because it is my job to protect the people around me, i wear my mask when i go out. I live in los angeles, sadly a hotspot for the year responsible people not doing that and i see that every day. I believe in doing my part and i stay in because frankly i dont need to get terribly sick and spend a big chunk of 2020 on a ventilator. Party is aublican disgrace. They are going to get a lot of people killed. If the mayor puts another stayathome order in place, you will support that . Caller host host im sorry question mark you will support caller im sorry . God, yes. Dontlder and retired, i have to go out and i feel sorry for the people that do. I still use Public Transportation to do essential errands, but i support the stayathome order and i enjoy living in a world that has become a bit quieter. Ive got birds on my balcony. I feed them, i can hear them sing. The only things making noise now are the damp pickup trucks and muscle cars updated with exhaust modifications. Host got you, caller. You are next up. Aller cspan, you are national treasure. I get to with listen to this stuff every morning and i love that you do both sides. That guy was talking about masks being ineffective against coronavirus. For our world war ii supporter out there, its a scientific fact, the mask does not protect you. Ok . Go read a book. My point is, the thing i would like to say is this, and i have been saying this for months, if you wash your hands and cough into your sleeve and dont sneeze in peoples faces, its just like any other virus. Youre not going to infect anybody. And if you dont touch her face in your eyes in your mouth with when youre out, like a normal, sanitary human being, youre probably not going to catch the virus that way either. Stuff, america, the hardest thing you will ever overcome in your life is fear. This is about fear. That is why you have people out there talking about how confusing it is when we get all this different information. That is being done on purpose to cause fear. Host to what end . If its to cause fear, to what end . About because it is political power. Thats why the guy in california was talking about how he thinks all these decisions are made for political reasons. Im not one of those guys out there that says coronavirus is so they can stop trump from having rallies. Thats not true. Theif they can use coronavirus as an excuse to stop political rallies, or to disparage the president , or to disparage any republican, like the last caller, ok, they can use that for political power. They can use fear for political power. Listen, look at the other instances of this. It wasnt just coronavirus. It was also russia collusion. Its all about fear. Ok. ok, west linn, michigan on the support line. High. Caller how you doing . Host fine, thank you. Go ahead. Caller i think everyone should wear a mask, political reasons or whatever. If people want this thing to go away, pull up your big boy and big boy pants big girl in big boy pants in do what youre told and hopefully it will work. If people dont want to follow the suggestions and recommendations of the people that know what they are talking about, this stuff aint going to go away. Why do you personally support restrictions, though . Of your lastone collars, first of all, ive got to wear a mask when i go to work. I work for one of the big three. Im used to wearing a mask. Also, when you are around old asymptomatic, are you dont want to be i wouldnt want to find out through Contact Tracing that i was the cause of somebody dying, now,now . My mother right shes got a childhood friend in the hospital right now dying in arizona. She just called and talked to her the other day and told her goodbye. Someone i work with, personally, first it was either his mother and father does matter, his mom and dad died first, he died shortly after. You know, all these people that seem to think that this is all about conspiracy theories and all this stuff, quit the garbage talk. Most of the people, you dont even know what youre are talking about. Read a book. That depends on who writes the book. So, that right there. Callsjust some of the this morning, you can add those to the mix about the pandemic restrictions in your state, locality, what have you. If you support them, 202 7488000. If you oppose them, 202 7488001. You can also text or post on social media, too. Trish, hawthorne, new york, you are next. Caller i want to say that this is one of the biggest satanic mankind byetrated on the elite and the political establishment and this has to do christ, ok . We have turned our backs on the lord. Host lets turn back to politics. Who are the elite in this case . Caller look at u. S. Patent 10. 130. 701 its a patent of the coronavirus that is owned by the curb right institute, owned by crown queen elizabeth. Host you get that information from where . Caller the patent number.

And you can always post on our Facebook Page and our twitter feed, [video clip] , cspanwj. Feed margaret, florida. Caller im a former new yorker and yeah, of course i support the masks. Seems a small price to pay to try and keep people from getting this virus. It should be a nationwide effort, like other countries have done. And to do that, we need the person on thehe top, our president. Host when you say it is a small price to pay, we have heard other people say that it goes too far and it restricts their daily living. How do you feel about that . Caller i dont understand how it restricts daily living. Thats just not a good argument as far as im concerned. And its something new, might be slightly uncomfortable, but what a price to pay for, you know, if you get this virus, the consequences are theres no argument. Marie, next, support line, florida, high. Go ahead. Caller i support wearing the masks, i support the r
