The government has the authority to require masks on public transportation. And it has the duty to ensure the safety of those using that public transit. It is illegal to knowingly pass HIV to someone in many states. I don't understand why it should be ok to pass COVID, another potentially deadly disease. We need emergency preparation laws in place, so our government can act faster in these cases. It took Hurricane Andrew to really pay attention to hurricanes and what is necessary for storm recovery. Maybe this pandemic will have a similar effect on our governments, so they know their places. We know that another storm is coming. We know that viruses, bacteria, and fungus can be deadly, or turned into biological weapons by our enemies. We need to be prepared for the next outbreak. Cuz think about it. How many weird diseases have popped up in recent memory? Mad cow, ebola, SARS, COVID..... We don't even keep the flu under control in any given year.
