'It's a hoax' say California's anti-mask proponents
For Davey, a resident of the city of Huntington Beach in southern California, the requirement to wear a mask to curb the spread of coronavirus is not something he takes seriously. “The more you test people, the more you come up with new cases,” he said, echoing words from President Donald Trump as he attempted to explain the record number of infections recently recorded in California and several other states. Davey is not the only resident of this city in Orange County, which has a large Republican presence, to revolt against lockdowns and mask rules.
