As said, I will not support any legislation that mandates it. We need less government, not more. But just common courtesy. You take a shit, wash your hands. That's not a lot to ask right? We don't need police in the bathrooms forcing people to wash their hands afterwords, just friggen do it. Or are you opposed to spending 20 seconds to wash your hands after taking a dump too?
If there's a chance, even slight, that by putting on a mask during your 30 mins of shopping you could keep someone from getting sick (even if it's mild, which most cases are) isn't that worth 30 mins of mild discomfort? How about potentially saving a life even if astronomically small? Yeah, I'll breathe slightly less fresh air for 30 mins for your sake, for anyone's sake.
The point of wearing masks is less about protecting the person wearing it and more about protecting those around them.
Do you have a problem with handwashing? Using sanitizer? They aren't 100% fool proof, but it reduces infection rate. Same with using a mask in the appropriate setting. Wearing a mask while in crowded indoor areas is just a good idea, during a pandemic, during flu season, any time there's reasonable concern for spreading an airborne pathogen.
Going forward, this is a good idea to do and not a whole lot to ask for. Grocery shopping during a severe flu season? Wear a mask for those 30 mins. Use the bathroom? wash your hands afterwords. There's an active epidemic in the globe? Be extra mindful of hand hygiene and wear a mask when in crowds. It's not a lot to ask, stop making it a political statemant.
Literally, the only thing being asked of you is a few minutes of being mildly uncomfortable for the small percentage of chance of preventing someone around you from falling seriously ill. That's not a lot to ask, don't be so selfish.
Its not even about the mask man, its governors abusing their power, and will do it more and more if we alow it. I don't think you are seeing that
