Yes, in most cases they legally can't enforce you to wear a mask, but... When it comes to businesses, they DO have the Right, to refuse service to anyone.
And... I just have to ask, why is it such a big deal? I'm a Conservative myself, and my Father died when I was only 20, from a sudden massive heart attack. Now...my Mother is 73, and would be more susceptible to having issues if she caught the virus. What I don't understand, is why somebody wouldn't wear a mask, to just be respectful to those who have to go out, get groceries, work, etc., and don't have the option to stay home? I don't think don't somebody needs to wear it 24/7 when they are out (say like when they are outside), but within businesses, makes sense.
I think this whole thing with mask wearing has gotten very political, when it shouldn't be. We should WANT to protect the elderly and folks with compromised immune systems.
In fact, I think it would make more sense for more things to open, and have masks be worn, than to keep things shut down and continue ruining the economy...
I mean, if we knew that all kids could go back to school and businesses could open, and all we'd have to do is wear a mask when we interacted with people in public and at schools, for that to happen, why not do that simple task???
It's not like it's forever, and eventhough masks don't help 100% of the time, they definitely help slow the spread.
Originally I was against masks, just because I thought that people should have the right, and if you're sick you should stay home. But, I know that many people aren't in a situation where they can just sit home and not work, or get groceries. Not everybody is financially stable enough to do that, nor does every town have something like instacart. And many people don't have people who can go and do those things for them.
After looking at things and comparing wearing a mask or staying shut down, I think wearing a mask is an easy solution to help both people (who are immunocompromised and can't recluse at home) and the economy fully open.

@kpchessman I understand that "some" have medical reasons for not wearing them. My point is that, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" already. Whether you're being political to wear them or Political to not wear them, that's is something where we could work together to slow everything down and protect others.
It's NOT difficult to wear a mask. Yes...they can be annoying, but knowing you're protecting others, makes it okay. My Mother is able to stay home, and eventhough I know that the recovery rate is still above 94% for even the "lowest" rate, I just think that at this point it's better to work together and just get through this tough time. It SHOULDN'T be a mandate, it should just be something people ARE willing to do and put up with, for a period of time, to help others and get this thing over and done with.
I don't have a big fear of my Mother getting it, because she's at home. I just think about other people and how they don't have those options (and even including those who can't wear a mask).
If we can all stop being selfish about a damn mask and just wear one to get through this (minus the folks who can't, and maybe they carry a note/letter so they don't get bombarded by people, that wouldn't be difficult), things would go back to normal, much sooner.
I'm just over everything and want things to get back to normal.
To make matters MUCH worse, my Mother was diagnosed with Dementia in June (her Mother had it and so does her older sister now), so I don't have a lot of time before things get worse. I get really upset when I think about things, because she had a doctor's appt in March, but because of everything, it was cancelled. I live in WA state so we were hit early. That was valuable time, since Dementia isn't curable.
I guess I just think about other people in a similar situation, and don't have a problem with doing my part so it's easier for others, and so this damn thing goes away.
My spouse is also the Lead Sergeant for the local PD (has been in L.E. for almost 30 years), and his son is a firefighter/EMT, so I think about them and what they have to deal with on a regular basis, and have even more reason for this to go away.
Anyhoo... Sorry for the long ramble. I'm just over everything that's going on. There's so much more to life, than all this bullshit right now. I know from personal experiences, just how precious life is, so maybe that's why I think more about this. When my Father died, I'd been with him less than 24 hours before (it was my Grandma's Birthday party, Mom's Mom), and I never would've guessed in a million years that that night when he left, that that would be my last conversation, hug, or anything with my Dad... It's just really depressing what's going on right now (OVERALL), and so many idiots/stubborn people, just don't get it...
