I wonder if he’ll require Muslim women to reveal their face to prove they’re wearing a mask?

It’s going to be real fun if we have to wear those partial burkas in the summer months with 100 degree temps and 90% humidity. There will be a lot of suffocations.

Charley Baker “Tall Deval” is one of the most corrupt Governors in the US. He throws out these insane edicts to cover the scandals rampant through his administration.

Baker a total RINO, won the Governors election by campaigning as a Never Trumper. The guy is a total POS.

Trump’s campaign needs to sell MAGA facemasks.

TRUMP-PENCE campaign decals fit nicely on a mask.

how anyone can wear those cloth coverings for more that a half hour without passing out is beyond me

Some folks can't so I guess they'll get fined every time they step outside.

A lot of disabled folks have breathing problems from chronic illness or physical lung damage and wearing a mask just reduces too much O2 for them.

Cover my nose and mouth for more than 30 seconds and i'm getting short of breath and hyperventilating.

If a person has a disability that precludes wearing a mask then you would assume they will have to make allowances just like they are required for other disabled folks.

Discriminating against the disabled is usually frowned on both in society and especially legal circles. ADA lawyers would line up for those lawsuits by the droves.

Most people are ugly. This may actually turn out to be a good thing. (/scarc)

Its not for safety... its virtue signalling and to remind the sheeple that this thing will not be over until they vote President Trump out of office.

I seem to recall that this arsehole passed a law a few years ago banning face masks due to the antifa crap.

Anyone remember if this is correct?

If so, it's more grist for the mill what a total dickwad Baker is. His voice and monotone delivery can put narcoleptics permanently asleep!

The CV-19 particle is about 1/2 the size of the smallest particle the N95 mask can block. All other “masks” are little more than warm, moist virus reservoirs. The virus can freely pass through a basic surgical mask, a home-made mask, or a simple kerchief. Masks are a false sense of security, of “doing something”, and are just virtue signalling at its most base level.

The use of facial coverings is a commonsense strategy.

No room for argument there.

Covering our faces when we cannot practice social distancing

Thankfully I'm a pro at practicing social distancing, therefore I do not need a mask.

Trump’s campaign needs to sell MAGA facemasks. That would put an end to this crap real quick.

Totally agree, however many Trump supporters understand that you really don't need masks 99% of the time.

Costco started requiring face masks this morning if you want to enter their store. It is virtue signalling, the same as when they stopped giving out straws for the pops at their food counter. People are starting to get wise to this nonsense, so they have to be reminded to be terrified.

I'm not playing this game, I pay $7.95 do order basics at Walmart and have them shop and deliver to my door. No interest in going to these places. I'll go to the local butcher once a week for fresh meat and produce, takes me 10 minutes and I'll wear the mask for those 10 minutes per week, that's all.

Answering my post, no Massachusetts law prohibits face masks.

There was a lot of talk about doing so last autumn.

Some of the proponents of such a law are now all for wearing masks.

Regardless, Charlie Baker is still is, and always will be, a worthless prick.
