On its Facebook page, the Huntsville location of Johnny Grylls restaurant says, Come on in, everyone welcome.
But owner Mike Heffelfinger is barring his doors to six state and local officials -- including Gov. Kay Ivey, Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle -- because they say people in Alabama must wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
Heffelfinger announced Wednesday that the officials are indefinitely banned from entering his location of Johnny Grylls, 6125 University Drive Northwest in Huntsville. In statements posted on the restaurants website and Facebook page, Heffelfinger said:
The following individuals are banned indefinitely from entering Johnny Grylls (Huntsville) restaurant:
This ban is in response to draconian health orders issued by the aforementioned individuals requiring most people to wear a mask in Madison County and ultimately all of Alabama. These orders create unnecessary stress, liability, and physical, mental and financial burdens on the restaurant and its employees.

The average respiratory rate in a healthy adult is between 12 and 18 breaths per minute. Hopefully the person you’re following in the store isn’t farting that much.
“I saw that, and at least three churches have filed suit against Newsom over it. I hope he gets his ass handed to him.”
We have been using live tv to record the services for both live and recorded.
Our music director as well as playing the organ has a great voice. So does our priest and deacon. They had been using an male choir member and a female.
They were advised by church lawyers not to do that. So now,they don’t include the music in our mailing of our service quide for that weekend.
BOL!
Yup, anti-bacterial resistant strains were showing up.
This is all so maddening. They allow these thugs to congregate in large crowds, and scream through megaphones, and the morons robotically scream back the same chants, but you can’t sing in church? That’s blatant discrimination, and a violation of your guaranteed Constitutional religious rights.
Masks are great for mowing the lawn and in dusty situations.
Especially if you have allergies.
Other than that.......
You don’t have any good restaurants around the area outside of Teddy’s.
The Pie Stand was a fixture, but then they went and closed it years ago. What a shame. Their pies were to die for.
It's not. Click on my screen name. There is also now a CDC report about the salon, I'll have to add that.
That study and 66 other studies are cited here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6993921/ Their conclusion is that masks work. Their critique of Jacobs is that it was "underpowered". You need to look at all the science, not just the science you agree with.
Exactly.
Frankly I dont know why (and it wouldve been Schadenfreude funny) the stores dont shut down those stupid re-use bags with all this hysteria.
The only thing that has happened is that the stores wont bag the groceries themselves...customer must do it himself.
This is all so maddening. They allow these thugs to congregate in large crowds, and scream through megaphones, and the morons robotically scream back the same chants, but you cant sing in church? Thats blatant discrimination, and of your guaranteed Constitutional religious rights.
You are correct.
When I lived in the UK....we had to bag our own, damned groceries.
It was weird to me at the time. And that was in the 90’s.
Selection criteriaIn this update, two review authors independently applied the inclusion criteria to all identified and retrieved articles and extracted data. We scanned 3775 titles, excluded 3560 and retrieved full papers of 215 studies, to include 66 papers of 67 studies. We included physical interventions (screening at entry ports, isolation, quarantine, social distancing, barriers, personal protection, hand hygiene) to prevent respiratory virus transmission. We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cohorts, case‐controls, before‐after and time series studies.
Nowhere in that study did they isolate masks and address their effectiveness as a stand alone measure. Their conclusions were based on all of the criteria cited above.
Go sell your careless reading skills somewhere else.
Unless the person were a emitting a long, continuous fart, your analogy breaks down.
It would be more akin to walking behind someone smoking a cigarette or wearing half a bottle of perfume.
In that case, yes, you would get out of the *fragrance* range quicker if you walked past them in the other direction than following behind them.
So are you defending the following the arrows, herd mentality?
Masks Don't Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social PolicyHere are key anchor points to the extensive scientific literature that establishes that wearing surgical masks and respirators (e.g., "N95") does not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness:
Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) "Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial", American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 - 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002
N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in HCW was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.
Seven more RCT studies at the link.
I try to hang mine in the sun every time I use it.
I rotate through about 3 of the disposable face masks that way, with one always in the sun and two hanging off the gear shift lever in my car.
I have to laugh at people accepting all this non-service happily.
Long ago it was the gas stations.
Then the groceries started with self-check and then re-usable bags. All this means no service. Do it yourself.
Its cheaper. Indeed. But at some level, what is the point of having this venue at all? One wastes time having to do all this himself anyway, which IS money.
I find that after wearing one of those disposable ones for more than 10 minutes, I very suddenly feel like I’m going to pass out. I rip that thing off my face at that point.
