These Wear a Mask rules are absurd. My local gym requires a mask because my local county requires a mask but not while Actively Exercising. One must wear a mask to enter the gym but after walking 20 feet, one enters the Active Exercising Area and one can remove the mask. What does that accomplish?

My counties rules allow one to remove a mask while eating or drinking except when “interfacing” with the staff.
- enter restaurant wearing mask.
- remove mask once seated.
- when the server arrives to get drink order you’re ‘interfacing’ so the mask goes back on. Server leaves so you can remove mask.
- server brings drinks, you’re interfacing so put the mask back on. Server leaves so you can remove mask.
- waiter arrives to take entree order, more interfacing, mask back on. waiter leaves so mask can come off.
wash, rinse, repeat.
A typical dinner would involve 10 masking/unmasking events. How stupid. Accomplishes nothing.

Are the mask rules absurd and totally stupid? Yup.
These compulsory masks rules are not about health at all. Oh no.
Everything is about politics and control.
It's all about tanking the economy and beating Trump in November. It also helps that compulsory masks allow the looters and arsonists and anarchists keep on destroying the country while their faces are covered to avoid detection. It's win win for BLM/Antifa and the Dems.
Nothing else matters to these deranged Dems bug taking out Trump in November.
