Sure, but outdoors even if you aren’t 6 feet apart, it still doesn’t seem to spread very well. For instance, children at a playground. There’s no evidence supporting the idea that they’re transmitting this virus in that situation, but kids run around and bump into one another at playgrounds because that’s what kids do. Especially the little guys (under 10) aren’t going to keep 6 feet apart from each other, but it doesn’t really matter. There’s zero scientific backing for masks in that situation.
A politician who knows what’s best for everyone.
Question: considering that around 35% of people with COVID-19 show no symptoms, how would you know if you’re infected with it? Even if you’ve been tested, that’s no guarantee you haven’t picked it up since the testing was done.
Around a third of people who have had COVID-19 would be surprised to learn that fact. They were definitely walking around infected for a period of time with no indication of sickness.
I’m glad I have zero reasons to go to NC these days.
I believe if there are no exemptions based on disability the order is in violation of ADA.
“Disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.”
There is also the matter of those who have health conditions which are aggravated by fully covering the nose and mouth with a mask. Especially if it is properly applied allowing for no gaps.
You’re kidding yourself. This is going to go on for at least another 4 1/2 months.
Thanks!
I live in what used to be a very red county north of Atlanta. (It’s still red, but liberals are moving in by the truckload due to our excellent schools). Anyway, there is a very loud & strident group here that’s petitioning our county commissioners for a mask mandate. Most of us have been telling them we’re vehemently opposed to more government dictates. I expect they’re going to get it eventually, because they just won’t shut up. They are begging the county for this. I think I need to move further into the mountains...

What a wonderful tine we live in. Nightmare. I still haven’t ever worn one ...we’ll see how long I can hold out.

You see, if they allow people to interact without masks, the fraud will be exposed.
“Face diapers. Must wear.”

Although authorship is dubious, supposedly Hemingway wrote the best 6-word story ever:
“For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.”
I’d say you’ve got a pretty nice 4-word story in the works.
Yay, dystopia is here. Wait until you see the idiotic things people will be calling masks soon. One of my favorites is the crocheted model. More air space than coverage so as not to impede breathing.
I’m glad I treated myself to a ride on that mountain railroad for a birthday present last year.
Zero need or desires to go to NC now.
My daughter has the same problem. Needs to add lip reading to her hearing aids to make it all work. Sorry for you, best wishes.
Last time I checked, if you are going to charge someone, you need a violation of a law to charge them.
Unless you live in a Communist or Fascist State.
