The author says he has had no push back from not wearing his mask. He should check out California....there is pushback. So he can blithely say to “resist” but I am an elderly lady and am nit crazy about going to jail for this issue.

Easy optics that will catch on. We are coming up on a year since “15 days”. On that date we announce 15 days to end the mask and handwrite it on our masks with a sharpie. After 15, we stop wearing.

It has to be done in a coordinated way. This would build momentum.

I had a dental appointment last week and of course I had to wear a mask to get in. The assistant took my temperature with one of those hand held devices before taking me back to the dental chair. Once seated the mask came off and for the next hour I was allowed to go mask less while the dentist worked on me. Then I had to put a mask back on to leave the office.

That Covid19 is one smart virus, it knows when to come out and when to stay hidden.

Any questionnaire that relies on the honesty of the person filing it out is worthless.

We do not wear masks.

I have 35 to 50 + people working in very intimate close proximity to each other 7am to 4 pm, five days a week since March.

No one’s been sick.

Chain link fences do not stop mosquitoes.

Big box stores have their dressing rooms closed but you can go in the restroom and stand between some guys and take a piss. The Stupidity is astounding.

The sentiment is fine, but the approach is flat-out wrong.

Some of us have been doing this the whole time and have zero problem walking barefaced into a store like we own the place.

I don't care if masks work or not, or if I even have any interest in wearing one. If the owner of a business establishment orders me to wear a mask (or a "Biden 2020" T-shirt, for that matter), I have two options: (1) wear it, or (2) go somewhere else.

It takes a special kind of @sshole to walk into a store "like we own the place" when you DON'T own the place.

If I want to act like that kind of an @sshole, I'll join Black Lives Matter.

. If you’re in a blue state that also punishes citizens with fines for non-compliance, maybe you need to take a more measured approach.

Any police officer who enforces a mask mandate or a lockdown is a domestic terrorist and should be dealt with as such.

Welcome to the party.

Maybe you should read the article before commenting. The author says that we need to pick and choose when to resist. The author is taking a flight and will wear a mask because tangling with the TSA and Delta Airlines is not worth it.

But if you want to resist in California, do not wear a mask in public. When challenged, tell them you have a medical condition that prevents mask usage.

Watch them back down.

If challenged, state that you have a medical condition.

They will back down.

...and that’s why Rosa Parks is considered a hero in most circles. Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.

Don’t forget that those local, state, and federal kakistocrats who ordered the wearing of masks should be dealt with as criminals with trials convictions, and sentencing.

“When challenged, tell them you have a medical condition that prevents mask usage.”

I told a busybody in Walmart that I have “KMA Syndrome” and she left me alone.

Make a personal choice to defy mask-mandates in your area.

From the beginning, I only wore a mask where they required it. The only places that require masks now where I live are hospitals, doctor's offices, federal offices, County Courthouse and businesses that were leaned upon to request wearing masks.

Yes, I do know people who died and they had Covid19. I know a lot of people who were tested and showed they had it that showed few if any signs. And they recovered without event. And my 95 year old father was diagnosed positive by the long test in December. He has lots of health issues, but they put him on a 3 day dose of Ivermectin, zinc and heavy D-3. He pulled through pretty quickly. He is still at his home.

Time outdoors in open air and sunshine is the cure.

I’m totally sick and tired of the #ComDem_Covid19_Dictators. Governmors, Mayors and Bureaucraps.

The owner of the business is not ordering anyone to wear a mask. The signs on the front door are put there simply to satisfy a state or local mask mandate. The business owner is not required to ENFORCE that mandate —-and they uniformly do not,

BTW, our local Walmart now has a sign out front that says masks for shoppers are “recommended” rather than required.

Just take your masks off, people. They’re not doing you or anyone else any good.

"...am nit crazy about going to jail for this issue."

I am not from Cali but has the state house and senate passed a law on wearing masks that was signed by the governor? If not I can't see what law you would be breaking with jail time required.

The Sheriff in my county said just that. He enforces the law not some edict by a politician.

(Tennessee) HB 794/SB 320: “Medical Non-Discrimination Business & Consumer Act” is officially entering the legislative session!

This bill protects both businesses & consumers from medical device (mask) discrimination & retribution.
