As the second half of 2020 plays out, coronavirus is still very much a trending topic in the nation. Testing has increased, as have mask mandates and even reversals on re-engaging sectors of the economy.
The rise of mask mandates in different cities and states has taken controversy surrounding face coverings to new levels. As governors, mayors, and certain health officials order their residents to wear masks, many Americans are pushing back.
Some people are boycotting businesses that require masks; others are bringing lawsuits against officials who have chosen to mandate face coverings.
However, not all Americans harbor negative outlooks on requiring face masks. In fact, some people believe that the nation should undergo a federal mandate that requires all Americans to wear face masks; however, this is something the White House ruled out on Monday.
