Letters to the Editor: Readers weigh in on lifting mask restrictions Hendersonville Times-News Local leaders exhibiting 'covid stupidity' To the Editor: And here, all along, we thought "covid stupidity" was restricted to state and national Republican leaders like Madison Cawthorn. We see now it extends to local "leaders" like the Henderson County Board who are sending a letter to the Governor asking that the indoor mask requirements be dropped, because our " individual liberties" are being violated by having to wear masks inside public buildings. May we assume they also will request that wearing pants will no longer be required and that smoking will be allowed everywhere? Are these also not matters of individual rights as well?
