Imposing mask mandates is just a method of controlling the population. Softening them up for the next step in communism.
I will say this. If you want to wear a mask based on some bogus scientific reasoning by a politician like Inslee or Fuaci, who has gone back and forth on whether to wear on or not, that's fine.
But to criticize others as "rationalizing" because they don't think it's necessary is arrogant. I have just as much right to an opinion based on rationale as you do on what basis I don't know. You don't give any evidence that they are effective.
There are many doctors who say wearing a mask is not good for you. What about them? The OSHA regulations dictate the oxygen intake for masks and no one is checking that out. Many people cannot wear mask because of COPD, asthma, or sicknesses like bronchitis or pneumonia.
If all people don't wear a mask then they are useless. I have never worn a mask since this started. I live on a 30 acre cattle farm and they seem pointless. I walk for 45 minutes every morning on the highway shoulder in front of my farm and have literally had people like you stop and tell me the county requires masks. Really? Busy bodies. Nothing worse than a know it all.
I've mentioned it a dozen times.
The workers and all clients wore face masks, likely preventing the spread of the illness, according to health officials, who credited the businesss policies, including distancing chairs and staggering appointments.
The Health Department offered testing to all those who were potentially exposed. All 46 people tested returned negative results, officials said.

I'll tell you the same I told others. I could care less whether you wear a mask or not. It is no concern of mine. Nor would it be if you were a few feet away from me in a store or anywhere else. The reason I say masks work is simple: because they seem to work. Not 100%, not appropriate for some people, etc. I am arguing for facts here, not arguing to force you to do it.
