> Free to catch COVID-19 in a state where the governor has said that he will prohibit any city from passing laws that require masks?

Sure, except you should consider the death rate in Texas compared to some of the Dem run states (deaths per 100,000 attributed to COVID-19):

NJ: 167

NY: 161

CT: 121

MA: 116

RI: 87

DC: 77

LA: 68

MI: 61

IL: 54

DW: 52

Then, there's TX: 8

Time to question some of those assumptions...
