    Opporative words... We are in a PANDEMIC!!! There are people who believe they have the right to infect me because they don't want to wear a mask. Where are my rights to be safe? In this instance (Pandemic) I believe it should be mandated that everyone wear a mask in a business or where they cannot social distance. This is not a political issue but a medical one!

    I agree with Rogar's post above.

    I get what you're saying, I just don't like the idea of government mandates which then require punitive measures to punish any naysayers.

    I admittedly don't get out as much as I used to but I do visit the local grocery store and hardware store and gas station from time to time. Maybe it's just my area but I haven't seen anyone violating mask guidelines while in proximity to others in months. Maybe they're all just reasonable people who figure that the guidelines make sense and it's in their interest to follow them but I'd hate to see the odd person without a mask face legal consequences for it.

    Keep the guidelines and forget about punishing people for their lapses. I doubt their intent is to hurt you.

    Just saw 2 guys today without masks. It is mandated here too. Saw another guy today (while I was out walking) who went into a store and they made him leave and come back with a mask. There are still trumpers that think this is a hoax or they have a right to inflict their stupidity on others. I believe these people should get fined. They continue in this vein and they will have the virus and pass it on. Why don't they get this is a pandemic?

    Trump is now on record saying that he knew this was a dangerous pandemic and he deliberately downplayed it--to the extent of saying it was the "new Democrat hoax" and repeatedly chiding people for wearing masks. Now he's replaced Drs. Fauci and Birx with a sycophant (a radiologist--probably less useful than a dentist when combating infectious disease) putting stock in the repeatedly debunked "herd immunity" theory, and going along with Trump's "no testing" policy.

    How do you justify trump having a rally of over 15,000 people? trump does not wear a mask or require them to do so. He obviously does not care about his base. As was in the news.... he has known early on that the virus is by airborne spread. Dontcha think that is moronic? rump is obviously a large part of the problem.

    I understand they hand out masks at those rallies, that takes us back to the original question. Do you want them arrested or fined and does that desire have anything to do with whether or not they're wearing a mask?
