Lawmakers push fines for those who refuse to wear masks, quarantine (Mass.)
Boston Herald ^ | July 16, 2020 | ERIN TIERNAN

ER doctor and Boston state Rep. Jon Santiago said a second surge of coronavirus cases is coming, laying out a five-point strategy to stop it — including fines of up to $1,000 for people who refuse to quarantine and $100 for not wearing a mask.

“We’re very much at risk of having a second surge here in Massachusetts and I think many medical experts — including myself — would agree that it’s not a matter of if, but when we will get that second surge. Now the question is how big it will that be,” Santiago told the Herald.

"Santiago said he’s seen fewer people wearing masks and less social distancing as things have continued to reopen."

How dare them!

Peeps who are VERY concerned about non-mask wearers need to don a second mask to provide them the same protection as if the perp were to be wearing a mask.

How is that NOT “The Science”?

What about folks who have a breathing condition like asthma or COPD which is really aggravated if wearing a mask?

Supposedly there are exceptions and I believe those are among them.

They still think we can hide from a virus. How cute.

Could it be masks are miserable to wear when it is 90 degrees outside.

The mask sensitive peeps need to wear two masks.

One for themselves and one for the others who don’t wear masks.

The Science says that two masks on one person are as effective as a single mask each on two people for the double mask wearer..

This is getting ridiculous. The masks do no good. How did ER docs and nurses get it? They wore full protective gear.
The virus is AIRBORNE. Whether you are going to get it or not depends on the concentration of viruses in the air referred to as the viral load.
That is why grocery stores will only let so many people in the store.

Forget the double mask. Go full Karen Condom - wear a large Hefty bag upside down with a full face mask. And require that Karen have her own picture on her mask so we can ID each one.

I love watching guys with huge beards wearing a mask. That literally does nothing.

Watch for facial hair to be outlawed, for the ‘greater good’.
