America’s slow, painful shift to enforcing mask mandates Mask enforcement won’t work without education. Lois Parshley Vox

Though 33 states now have face mask mandates, Gov. Pete Ricketts says his state of Nebraska will not be joining them. On Monday, Ricketts doubled down on his conviction that a statewide mask mandate would be too “heavy-handed.”
