I like this one from CDC site. Go to bottom of page. Shows that we've dropped below the epidemic threshold.

Just don't wear it. Read your counties specific EO to learn the exceptions. Ours says you qualify for a medical exception if you "have a hard time breathing" wearing the mask. No documentation needed. Now, businesses don't have to allow you access - that's their prerogative. I've never had any business say anything.

I was there . As usual, WRAL downplaying the size. Easily 1000 on foot with hundreds in cars.
