New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that it was disrespectful to refuse to wear a mask in public, stating that “you can literally kill someone because you did not want to wear a mask. How cruel and irresponsible would that be?” But the opinions are still divided, and many refuse to wear one, claiming it’s unconstitutional.

Not everyone is buying it. This poster was put up outside the entrance to an unidentified business that blew up on the internet. People couldn’t stop praising the mic drop-like text, which explained loud and clear why you should be ready to take consequences for not wearing a mask. Hint: no drink, no snack, no fun, see you at home.

So let’s take a look at the viral poster down below that shows you that dealing with anti-maskers doesn’t take a whole lot, just some common sense.

Even though some believe that wearing a mask in public goes against the constitution and individual freedom, public health officials urge everyone to wear one. The issue of wearing face masks came to the center of attention on May 1st when a security guard was shot dead in Michigan during an argument with a customer who refused to wear one.

Meanwhile, people with certain disabilities are exempt from wearing masks altogether. According to Doron Dorfmann, a Syracuse University law professor who specializes in disability law, there may be legitimate disabilities that would prevent someone from wearing a mask. “Someone with autism who has sensory issues, for example, or someone with a respiratory problem for which a mask would make breathing difficult,” he told Syracuse.

This is what people had to comment

Having said that, he added that under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, business managers should be cautious about anyone who claims to have a disability, but they can’t ask what kind of disability it is.

Under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, he said, store managers must be cautious in questioning anyone who says they have a disability. The manager, for example, can’t ask what the disability is. Two questions that are okay to ask are as follows: “Is (not wearing a mask) an accommodation? What kind of benefit do you get from not wearing a mask?”

Some people who refuse to wear masks are using that to their advantage. Dr. Alan Hawxby, a transplant surgeon at the Oklahoma University Medical Center, recently posted a phenomenon on Twitter showing that anti-maskers are using the Americans with Disabilities Act that protects them from having to disclose the condition.

But Business Insider reports that doctors urge even patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to wear masks in public, but they have to find the right fit and material to make it as comfortable as possible.

Here are some more creative examples businesses used to communicate the message

Can America adopt more of these 'rude' signs like the last one? And just do away with "customer is always right" capitalist b******t entirely. I feel like retail and service would be a lot better if employees could stand up for themselves without fear of losing their jobs or punishment for shutting down harassment. And I know someone's gonna say "bUt dIsREspeCTfUl empLoYeEs" and to that I say respect is a two-way street Karen B(

My aunt, who is a dialysis patient, has to self quarantine herself for two weeks because someone at her dialysis clinic got Covid. My dad, a kidney transplant patient who also has spinal stenosis, has to continue to stay in self quarantine because a few jerks can't just put on a mask and shut their mouth. Covid is not like the flu. I know this because my mom got the flu several times during my childhood. Guess what: she's still alive. However Covid has already killed thousands of people. By the way, I am an American and I think that we need to adopt more of these rude signs because the nice aren't working.

@gretal Yes, you are right, the flu kills on average 30 thousand people in the US per year. In fact it killed 34 thousand in 2019. Covid, on the other hand, has killed ONE HUNDRED and thirty thousand, and still rising. We are only half way through the year and the flu season has not even started yet. The way the US is going, by the end of the year there will be at least 230,000 covid deaths plus another 34k to influenza. To put this into perspective, in one year, you will have lost more american lives in one year to "just a flu" than you lost in the first three years of WWII. How many lives are you willing to sacrifice?

About a week ago, a client stood in our door demanding service at the door since he was not wearing a mask. You have to follow 1 simple rule to enter the store. WEAR A MASK> That's it. Okay clothes too, but a mask is priority. Clothes ... optional hahaha. In winter I might add. Every other person who did enter told him to get manners and a mask. So luckily we are not alone in this battle.
