Protests were held in Austin, Texas against the requirement to wear facemasks. Photograph: BBC
On Sunday, [Texas governor] Abbott said that as many as 5,000 people a day were being diagnosed with the virus…
… Vice-president [Pence] also urged Texans to wear masks “wherever it’s indicated”, saying “we know from experience, it will slow the spread of the coronavirus”.
In the Texas state capital of Austin, a requirement to wear face coverings in some circumstances in order to help mitigate the spread of the virus led to demonstrations on the city’s streets by people objecting to the measure.

It doesn’t take many kisses blown to the virus, as the sturdy citizens in the photo are doing, for the virus to like-and-follow us.
I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
