After Arizona set two records this week for daily coronavirus infections, Gov. Doug Ducey decided on Wednesday to allow local officials to determine mask ordinances for their cities and towns. "It took some pressure – more than a thousand doctors signed a letter asking the governor to make masks mandatory," said Tucson Mayor Regina Romero. "I've been calling the governor for a couple of weeks now to ask him to untie our hands as mayors of the cities of Arizona." Aired on 6/18/2020.

AZ’s GOP Governor Relents And Allows Local Leaders To Require Masks | The Last Word | MSNBC
Complacency Kills !
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

WTF? The virus did not just miraculously dis appear like mr trump suggested repeatedly that it would, the new infections are setting records , in just a couple weeks, the daily body count will be setting records.
nuclearcasserole : Seems that the only thing that’s changed is that Donny actually WANTS all the vulnerable Americans to die? Covid 19 is still the same, that’s a scientific certainty
j welsh : Did you hear Donny talking about Ivanka, getting a Cabinet post, last night? Donny will NEED her to take over from him, so he remains insulated from Justice. This election (already rigged in Florida) needs to CRUSH the GOP, so there’s NO ROOM for fighting the results, and NO EXCUSES for Donny’s militias to take to the streets. It’s make or break the Republic, this November. Be prepared for a fight, America ✌️
43 44 46 a no we didnt forget : They already do
This is disgusting
New Zealand, So Korea shut it down in the single digits
Ppl are asking EMTs if it’s a hoax.
F this administration
Hope their whole family gets covid
what about these people?

It’s about time. Bad governor.
brilliantly said and explained, ty mayor romero and mr o’donnell, so happy for your city.
I see people every where in Tucson without mask…
lots of heroin in tucson as well.
As Trump uses Adderall. Kkkkk.
@mike mann songs wtf does that have to do with the conversation?
You might have seen me, I’m on the Northwest side.
@Jefe Justicia nope
Well explained and expressed
What is the Republicans problem? Don’t they realize a mask is life saving? Come on…
But do the masks save the economy? Trump said the virus is gone…. its a miracle!
Leo Valverde : Donny saw the entire thing, from the start, as an economic issue. He sees it through the eyes of his Lobbyists, whom he spends more time with, on the golf course, than his government. I don’t think a single American doesn’t know that, by now? His voters don’t weigh human life in the same scales that you or I would. This election threatens to turn into something truly disastrous for the whole country. Be prepared for a fight, if you want your Republic back?
@Leo Valverde Yes the virus is gone.
A well spoken woman.
The AZ mayors reacted first in March. Then Ducey took their power away with his “stay at home” order. Now after opening the state too early and seeing rising cases and deaths for weeks, he passes the buck to mayors… on masks. Heaven forbid he consider another shutdown.
Did you see the kids in the pool next to an adult, none of them wearing masks. Just because they are in the water does not make them immune.
being outside in the sun makes transmission nearly impossible
@Paul Wilson I know that.
@David Turner then why did you say “Just because they are in the water does not make them immune.”? make up your mind
Masks are a good thing. I always put one on before leaving home and most folks do the same here in Osaka Japan! Covid-19 isn’t a problem here!
exactly!!! masks work look at Japan!
In America wearing a mask is a fight for liberty
@bill huzzah! for the patriots in masks~!
It is kinda funny and sickening how you people that refuse to simply wear a mask in public think. You can’t do one simple thing to be respectful and considerate of those who might be more vulnerable to this virus, like the elderly, people going through chemo, people with underlying conditions. You are that arrogant and sickening.
these people are not being respectful

i bet the king of ventilaters does NOT have this covered…
Get all Republicans out of Arizona offices they are the ones keeping Arizona constituents SICK by only worrying about money and not us.. THE PEOPLE DEMAND TRUE REPRESENTATION!
so are these people

It is about time Ducey, you deplorable Republican slowpoke! We Arizonans are dying because of you!
Let’s hope those people in the swimming pool remember to take a sip of the chlorine water every now and then to fight the virus.
Been in AZ for three years now…definitely leaving after college and never coming back honestly
bye bye
How’s bout a big rally if they’re that stupid. And they are.
like these people too?

This is what happens when your governor is a businessman first and a governor (steward of the people of his state) second.
Arizona is where sanity prevails. Thanks to the good governor, the state has no CHAZ/CHOP zones!
