“Tensions are extremely high about the virus to begin with. I would advise not to say anything. You have to be sensitive to the fact as to why they are not following the advice,” said Jacquelyn Youst, founder of the Pennsylvania Academy of Protocol in the Lehigh Valley.

Plus, she emphasized you don’t know their reasons for not wearing a mask, as some people can’t wear face coverings due to health issues.

Masks are the modern day “yellow star” which were forced upon Jewish people in the 1930s. It is all about training people to blindly follow authority else suffer the consequences.

Perhaps you’re perusing the produce aisle at your favorite grocery store wearing a mask when suddenly you bump into a maskless shopper.

If you "bump into a maskless shopper", YOU are the one violating social distancing.

You should always haul a second mask so you can double down if terribly threatened by a non-mask wearer.

I wear a mask while in public buildings, but I refuse to wear one outside.

What do you do if you are wearing a mask and you see someone without one? The natural reaction is probably to keep your distance.

Thus the interaction between a masked person and a non-masked person actually promotes social distancing.

The person wearing a mask feels safer and the person not wearing a mask is happy to not have people close to them.

It’s a win / win.

If you can’t wear a mask, it’s on you to keep your distance from other people. Your health problems don’t give you the right to risk other people’s health.

If they are wearing a mask and have it under their chin it is a pretty good bet they dont have a health exemption

I have encountered many employees using that manuever.

Normally, you can get away from them but sometimes you can’t.

Which brings up an interesting liability issue.

OMG - it’s called “BEING NICE!!”

Don’t POOP in that sandbox and you won’t come out dirty. Just that simple.

1. Shame them and force them out into the street.

2. Call the police, take pictures of them and report them for violating the law. They will get a $2,000 citation.

3. File a public nuisance complaint against them.

4. Publish their pictures and locations on social media.

Do you stand your ground and urge them to strap on a face covering?

Or just mind your own business.

Walk right up to them, stick out the right hand of fellowship, and greet them as fellow freedom fighters.

I pretty much treat them the same way as I treat guys with man buns or women with nose rings. I ignore them.

“as some people can’t wear face coverings due to health issues”

Will their service ponies be required to wear masks?

I’ll just look at their mask and comment on how amazed I am at the invisible force shield covers the opening around their nose and around the back of their cheeks.

And then, ‘Where can I get one of those invisible shields?’

The question is important as it changes the conversation from confrontational the informational!

Experts weigh in with advice

The medical "experts" say it's a toxic, suffocating bad idea.

The control freak political "experts" (RATs) dictate commands that you must follow.

I find it is best to get close, wag your finger in your face, pull down your own mask, and scream at them. That shows ‘wm.
