Bad presentation but you asked for it.
By the way please look up the definition of Brownian motion, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

When they ask you where your mask is, just say, “It’s gonna be up your ass if you don’t get out of my face.”

Per your post not keeping their damned mouth shut after you bumped into them would be sufficient. That far. Would they go home unhappy? How so?

If they are wearing a mask and have it under their chin it is a pretty good bet they dont have a health exemption

All the notices that say you have to wear a mask doesn't detail how to wear it.

Plus, she emphasized you don’t know their reasons for not wearing a mask, as some people can’t wear face coverings due to health issues.

Perhaps a sign on storefront doors (like grocery stores) informing customers of that little fact. We now have MANDATORY mask laws in some areas of soviet Tennessee, BUT the executive orders allow for this exemption. Of course, you NEED to read the actual order...the media NEVER mentions this in the text of their articles. They WANT the confrontations...the potential shootings and stabbings. They are SCUM.

We should always ask ourselves these questions:

“Why does Tonto not wear a mask, and why doesn’t he maintain social distancing from the Lone Ranger?”

Bonus question: “Does Zorro have a mask on during sex?“

"Masks are the modern day “yellow star” which were forced upon Jewish people in the 1930s. It is all about training people to blindly follow authority else suffer the consequences."

I wouldn't trust that analogy. It reminds me of the misinformation that entities like Communist China would concoct just so Americans would not comply with the mitigation efforts to bring the virus down so it can be wiped out.

I see masks with this analogy: Masks are the birth control for the coronavirus. Those who don't like rubbers are the same type of folks who hate masks. Like masks, rubbers prevent disease. Communist, like Family Planning, will spread the rumors that rubbers are ineffective. The result will be more girls will come in for abortions.

As long as the American public flaunts the pandemic, the U.S. will continue to have the millstone of the pandemic dragging our economy down as well as threatening President Trump's reelection by shutting down his rallies.

This whole article is line after line of “I can’t believe what I’m reading”. No where in the article do I see any mention of respecting someones right to choose. Only tips to promote totalitarian behavior.

They are testing more people. Another reason is that the heavy focus in younger people correlates to large protests in 32 California towns at cities. Protesters don’t use masks correctly, especially since they wipe their faces, or uncover their mouths and noses just to speak or shout. Plus dense crowds in protests of people from all over the state and all over the nation.

If you have a health exemption you dont have to wear it..thats my point

If you have it on but have it under your chin to get around state, local, and employer rules you dont have an exemption.

‘Your beliefs mean nothing to me.’

who asked you if they did...?

‘It is all well and good to say you wont get it..until you do.’

so you live your life in total fear of anyone you might encounter constituting a mortal threat to you, based on the fact that an individual you know has caught this bug...okay, you know best, I guess...

.....health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine ordered all residents to wear masks when out in public to help control the spread of COVID-19.

Rachel Levine is a guy pretending to be woman and is obviously mentally ill. Never take advice from mentally deranged people. God help us with these lunatics in positions of power.

I know someone who said

“I think I have been exposed to Covid” while outside at his house.

The walker who didnt want to stay 6 feet away from him shot off like a rabbit

For faster results plus a yellow puddle on the sidewalk, say:

I went to a COVID party last night!

It will take more than a mask when there’s fallout from global nuclear holocaust. Don’t ask me how Mad Max survived that, especially since all he had was the leather police outfit.

Masks aren’t required here in rural central Florida, and you make me laugh, all the way to the store, maskless. Enjoy!
