Sigh.
I’m not saying that masks are effective against the virus.
I’m saying people have been told to wear masks by the CDC / Government.
Are you people denying that? I’ll wait for your answer.

Guess not.
WELL THEN! You’re going to have people out there who are NOT sick wearing masks. Why? See above. That doesn’t mean the masks are effective - and I completely agree with most of you that putting a bandana in front of your mouth isn’t going to do squat against a virus.
BUT people have been told to wear masks. In my area, it’s mandatory, in fact.
THEREFORE you have people wearing masks who are not sick.
THEREFORE you have people in a bar who, if they’re following the Government’s suggestion, would be wearing a mask who are not sick.
THEREFORE the bartended telling them “if you’re sick don’t come here” is irrelevant and illogical.
The bar owner is a private businessman and is perfectly within his rights to refuse service to anyone. He is probably sick of all the freedom hating, hypochondriac wussies being in his establishment wearing useless masks. and looking stupid.
Hygiene is the problem. It would probably be more far more effective to put a sink at the door with the demand that customers wash their face and hands before they come into bar.
