Gov. Doug Ducey lifts Arizona COVID mandates, including local mask rules

I absolutely hate this POS! Arizona was the hottest spot in the world for COVID-19 infections, not once but twice due to this asshole.
Only 17% of Arizona's population has been fully vaccinated so far.

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday rolled back the state’s remaining COVID-19 mitigation requirements, including local face mask mandates.

Under a new executive order, all of the state’s business requirements have been changed to recommendations, and bars can now go back to their pre-pandemic operations.

In addition, events of more than 50 people, including youth sports, no longer need approval from local governments.

until a larger chunk of the population is vaccinated. We opened up 100% in Texas on March 10th and I fear we’re going to see our numbers start climbing again very soon.

I used to think that dealing with a pandemic as dangerous as COVID 19 was something that could be dealt with using a rational, science-based approach.

Republican governors like Ducey (AZ), Abbott (TX), Noem (SD), and DeSantis (FL) have proven me wrong.
