Many agree due to many not listening to their governors orders, let alone the American Public Health Association orders.
“Most people don’t even wear their masks anymore, I can tell why people are calling for another lockdown. I know my dad doesn’t wear this mask anymore” said junior Anneke Kauppila said, “My entire family continue to wear our masks, but some people are falling on the edge and neglecting their mask.”
Many orders to prevent a lockdown are getting ignored, like the Mask Order. If basic orders like the Mask order are getting ignored, many are worried they’ll be heading back into a state of Lockdown.
“I can’t believe people are looking back into heading into a Lockdown” sophomore Trevor Essenmacher said, “It makes sense, but I dont understand why people can’t listen.”
