In a followup to a local Houston judges crap ruling

Is there something different about the Harris County order, compared to, say, the Travis County order, that's been issued for a couple of weeks now?
I certainly understand the fear of government overreach, but this seems like a fairly minor infringement. I understand that's just my opinion and others might view it as something more than "fairly minor" but in general, if the cost of opening up commerce, is that people will have to wear masks for the next 30 days, I just don't think that's a big deal.
Now, since N95 masks are all but vanished, and surgical masks aren't that easy to get, and not everyone has an awesome mom like I do, to sew them a killer cloth mask-- most of these government orders are allowing for "face coverings" of any kind. People are responding by wearing bandannas and scarves over their faces, and I'm not certain whether or not there's much point to that. I'm not sure I've seen any studies on the effectiveness of a scarf at preventing the spread of viruses, either as a protective measure for the wearer, or as a preventive measure from droplets escaping outward in the midst of talking, coughing, sneezing, etc.
