I am not opposed to an individual choosing to wear or not wear a mask (there are legitimate arguments and concerns on both sides of the issue) or a business choosing to require or not require them. I am opposed to overreaching mandates from unelected bureaucrats who think they should dictate to people and businesses how they live and operate.
This is a democracy not a dictatorship. The government answers to you, not the other way around. As such, in these unprecedented times of government abuse of power, I encourage you to make the decisions you feel are appropriate for you and your family.
Freedom is not free. Stand up for your freedom and liberty that so many fought and died for. Do not dishonor them by living in fear of toothless lions in Harrisburg.
I’ve long ago decided to NOT participate in the pandemic And the Mask is a sign of Compliance...
If there’s even an “IT” out there, I’d rather catch “it” and move on ~ NO VACCINE required !!!
Stay outta my foxhole
Epstein’s woman:”associate” was arrested and pizzagate is gaining traction, and there are investigations into the past administration so they know they need to take the government back and cannot afford to lose.
They are going all out . Now it is Russia again the flu strain and rioting. It is all out war, and nearer to the election some women will come out saying Trump molested them
PREACH it, sister !
Oh yes it has!

I have to do some banking business next week, I’m going to wear my Bandana and see if they will take pictures ... I want one of me in the Bank with a Bandana, one with Officer Friendly, one with the Bank President and a group shot of all of all of us without masks ... which one do you think will be the hardest for me to get?
I can’t wait to show my Grand kids a picture of Grandpa in a Bank with a Bandana covering my face
The Hawaiian Karen speaks.
THANK GOD that I dont live in fascist Hawaii.
The problem is.....they won't. And most especially, parents of THE least responsible age groups won't require it of them. That lack of responsibility has already put one of my family (breast cancer survivor) at risk.
It’s not rocket science. Quarantine works; masks don’t:
1.The masks hinder breathing. Has to happen because the nose and the mouth were designed for free breathing.
2.The masks don’t block viruses. The viruses are too small to be filtered by the fabric itself. When you inhale and exhale, the air cannot flow through the fabric, so it has to travel through the sides of the mask, where, if you are exhaling, it pollutes the air in the room or, if you are inhaling, pollutes your lungs.
3. The masks can block sneezes, but that helps little because air leaking in and of the masks can contain the germs that are not sneezed out.
“Time for Mask Covid Disobedience.”
“I have a medical condition” is working perfectly for me.
frequently wash your handsavoid touching your facepractice social distancing.

Lowe’s has this drivel on a five minute tape loop.
“Haven’t been to Costco in months and likely won’t return at all.”
Hmmm. Neither had I. But since my state’s tyrant mandated masks statewide and included a “medical condition” exemption, I’m thinking about wandering into Costco next week to feign buying a membership and wander around the store for an hour or so.
In fact, the very thought of it has put a burning grin on my face...
So I'll just ignore you.
I agree.
I dont know what to suggest to solve that aspect of the problem, other than to pass on the word that it is necessary to protect the vulnerable, as best as we can.
Did this CLOWN take an oath to the Constitution? Has he ever read it? Once you refer to this country as a 'democracy' instead of a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, he loses ALL credibility. He's pandering, and people fall for pandering ALL THE TIME.
North Carolina is lost.
This has an actual noticeable effect on a tiny minority of mask-wearers. Most people have no problem.

There is NEVER a bare virus particle "in the wild". EVERY virus particle is either in an aqueous microdrop or (if it dries by evaporation) has a coating of salt crystals and other bio-solids. Masks filter these quite nicely.
Masks "do" work.
Have you ever worn Mop Gear?

You just made that up. If you really believe what you are saying, put on one of the commonly used masks and stand near somebody with Ebola, plague, or any other airborne virus.
Maybe we need a snappy slogan to express anti-mask feelings — “My face, my choice” ???
I do wear a mask when required in stores (reluctantly) and when working with elderly or immune-compromised clients (respectfully).
