Angela and Patrick Beyers have been running from the truth for years. It was back in 1993 that they discovered the first crumbling floorboard in their house in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans. They found the second a short while later. “Of course we knew,” says Angela. “But we didn’t talk about it. We just kind of pretended it wasn’t happening.”
But two months ago the truth finally became impossible to ignore.

A federal judge in Florida struck down the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s public transportation mask mandate on April 18, meaning that people no longer have to wear a mask on public transportation in most cases.
