And trump thinks people wear masks to spite him. I see a bunch of people in my red state not wearing masks. And once again, getting in their trump stickered trucks. Y'all may think I'm over exaggerating but I'm not. Every time I leave the house I see at least 3 or 4 trump stickered trucks with American and confederate flag stickers or actual flags flying off the back. This is one reason I say the American flag now makes me uncomfortable. I'm in the deep south. I think me and my family are the only democrats.

Brilliant, wish I could see an actual antimasker's reaction to this.

This is pure genius!

"we may use utensils in multiple ingredients including ingredient customers might be allergic to" "you will probably get sick but most people survive food poisoning"

"Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else." - France's Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789. People abuse the term of freedom way too often...

Purple pill Pete no one is saying people don't die everyday. What is being said is it's preventable! Less people will die if you wear a god damn mask! Isn't that enough of a reason for f***s sake!! If something is preventable on a mass scale why wouldn't you just do the right and kind thing for the greater good??! It doesn't hurt you for Christ's sake! Even if one life is saved that should be enough! I can't believe this is even being debated! Omg!!

I don't think this works as an analogy. You CAN choose not to go to this restaurant and stay safe. I CANNOT choose to stay safe if people are not wearing masks at the grocery store...

I do have some doubts about the efficacy of face masks against covid-19. If my government says I should wear them at certain places, I would, though. I wash my hands, keep distance, etc. Non-medical masks don't usually stop the virus, though they do make you touch your face less, and spread less saliva around, so that's a positive. In my country, we're only obligated to wear a (non-medical) mask in public transport and taxis/ubers. One of the downsides: people immediately get closer to one another (which is more dangerous in the end), talking louder, laughing more, going out more... In summary: false safety. Not even talking about many people not wearing the mask (and putting it on and off your face) the right way. So yeah, face masks could maybe help a little, but ONLY if all the other measures are also complied.

We should use the same analogy for healthcare practice: Welcome to our hospital. Please note that in favour of protecting civil liberties, empowering our staff and allowing everyone to do as they bloody well please... our clinical team MAY OR MAY NOT wash their hands, wear PPE, sterilise instruments, adopt single-use devices, clean our hospital bays etc. Medication may have expired, equipment won't be tested or maintained and we don't tend to follow best practice clinical guidelines. Because, I mean, why would you?? It's so dull and restrictive. This may significantly compromise your chances of survival through increase mortality rates, but hey... who cares?!

"Nobody has the right to tell them what to do or wear" - including themselves. Unbelievable. I suppose it will take them - or, sadly, someone near them - getting sick and dying for them to change their tune. It is slowly changing, and hopefully a mandatory law with teeth will be implemented in January 2021 with the new political scene.

This reminds me of The Simpsons' "Do What You Feel" Festival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVtRa2Rt5A

Let the Trumpettes sing "No, no, noooo that's different! It's not for reeeeeaal!"

DO NOT WEAR A MASK, OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RUGHTS ARE AT STAKE DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND INVESTIGATE, DONT BE SHEEP, ITS ONLY A COLD, WERE IA YOUR PROOF REAL FACTS THAT ITS NOT MORE THAN A COLD , NEWS, SOCIAL MEDIA, CDC OR WHO, DOESN'T COUNT. THOSE WHO DONT WEAR MASK THINK FOR THEMSELVES, LOOK ON THE MASK BOX PEOPLE DOES NOT KEEP. FROM CV19, OH AND FIND GOD STATISM IS A RELIGION, SO IF YOUR AGAINST ORGANIZED RELIGION THEN WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING STATISM

I should be able to drive my car with a blindfold. If you don't like it, stay at least 6 feet away. Even if you are in line at the drive thru.

Thank you very much for your informetion

What worries me is articles like this polarise the situation. There are people out there who genuinely can't wear a mask for a variety of medical reasons (myself included). For these people, wearing a mask can land them in hospital but they often struggle to justify it when confronted or refused service. Don't lump us in with the idiots who choose not to die ideological reasons.

Obviously Libby doesn’t know the difference between telling employees what they must do and the government telling citizens what to do! Private businesses can do as they wish but the US Government can not force anyone to wear a mask!
