Yehudalah: Higgins is a relatively ignorant former Deputy Sheriff from a state with one of the highest death rates from CV19 who even before the virus, had characterized public health restrictions as an “infringement” on personal liberty. He goes out of his way to blend right wing Christian Evangelical cultural themes with Trumpkopf-style science denial on matters that even most Republicans accept as fact. Wearing a mask doesn’t fully protect others near you from infection (if you are asymptomatic) but it certainly reduces transmission. Likewise, it slightly reduces your own risk of being infected by droplets exhaled from others nearby.
