Wow.

Pruitt, clearly emotional. Apologizes multiple times. Asks everyone to "mask up."
Reed says if there were more people like Pruitt around, the nation would get a lot more done.

Dr. Saliski, who spoke last night, is praising the work being done in the hospitals here. Says masking shows that you're trying to help by being safe. "There are people out there that just don't believe this is a problem. They don't. Until this affects them."
Executive order goes into effect at 5 p.m. Friday. Designed to be temporary until next council meeting. Reed: "We believe with (Pruitt's) support, should this come up at the council meeting, we'll be in a position to move forward."
