S.T. George – Although it has been four weeks since hundreds of anti-masks rallied in St. George, the event is still attracting a lot of attention due to Twitter.
During last month’s protest, which took place on August 21 in front of the Washington Washington County School District Office Fees, various residents, some of whom were affiliated with a group called the Liberty Action Coalition, spoke out against the government. Gary Herbert’s order requires all Utah K-12 students. And teachers wear masks in schools.

That’s when we start to stand up. Show the science behind wearing a mask if you are asymptomatic? Show me ?? Don’t sneeze or cough, show me why you need to wear a mask.
