DMV in Harrisonville MO, denied me service today, even though I showed them the inhaler I am using, and noted that it was illegal to deny service under the ADA. Nasty lady, who I assume was the office manager basically said she didn't care. Petty little tyrants are coming out of the woodwork.
Our mask laws here specify that the only medical exemption is during necessary life-saving medical treatment inescapably involving contact with the nose or mouth or adjacent area in a licensed hospital. Your asthma inhaler doesn’t count. You cannot even remove your mask if you lose consciousness. You cannot remove your mask to give or receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation. And that’s illegal even with masks on both parties because of the social distancing requirements anyway. Fortunately, the mask law does not apply yet to young children, in the place of residence, or outdoors (unless on church property or adjacent streets or sidewalks).
We must all be miserable, and society must fail. Fortunately, churches still operate, subject to strict capacity controls and mask requirements. Of course, the preacher is often incomprehensible because he mumbles weakly into his muffle despite his attempts to speak loudly and clearly.
I walked into a car repair shop yesterday to drop off my car.
First I was confronted by Chad, a customer who yelled at me to put my mask on.
No thanks I replied. He tried to engage me then walked out muttering about “Americans.” I thought that was kind of funny, since I was in America.
Then, a mechanic spied me through the window and started yelling for the manager.
“SCOTT, SCOTT, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. IT’S A GUY WITHOUT A MASK. SCOTT.”
Scott comes out and tells me to put a mask on. I told him it affects my asthma (which they do)
Then he took care of me and I left to walk home. I half expected a police car to be waiting for me at home since Chad said he was calling 911
