Be Considerate, Wear A Face Mask

Here is an infographic from the University of Nebraska Medical Center showing health risks of wearing/not wearing face masks during a pandemic.  Below is a video by a health professional (a medical doctor, not a politician or scientist like Bill Nye) stating why you need to wear a mask during a pandemic or health crisis.  It explains the difference in use of a re-usable/washable fabric mask and a disposable mask.  Mainly the purpose is to be considerate of others by not risking the  spread of a disease you may not know you have.  Contrary to what you may have seen or read, the mask does NOT to prevent airflow, as that would result in suffocation.  Instead, the face mask prevents moisture from leaving your mouth and getting into the air others may breath. Properly wearing a face mask may not be convenient, but it is selflessly considerate of others.  If most people had done this early in the pandemic, it might be over by now or less of an issue, instead of numbers are continuing to rise.

There may be a FEW people who can not wear a mask because of some existing health condition.  If this is the actual case, their doctor can provide them a note saying so.  Not a fake facemask exemption card, which is a money scam to take advantage of people who wish to not look weak/ill or just do not want to wear a mask.  No mask when not staying home or riding in your own car indicates being inconsiderate towards others' health.

Also, masks are mandatory in most business in order for them to stay open.  Being argumentative or violent is actually another way of showing how selfish and arrogant you are, plus it could result in your getting arrestedA business is private property, which means they have the right to refuse you service and you have the right to go somewhere else.  In some areas, it a business  lets people in without a mask or social distancing, they could loset heir license to operate wither temporarily or permanently.  which means you lose them as a choice of business you can go to.  Think about all that before you react.
