No Mask Requirement
 

Wearing a mask should be at the sole discretion of the individual where this emergency mandate is concerned with OSHA (not including regulations that already had mask requirements in place - prepandemic).  There are risks using a disposable mask and cotton masks to the mask wearer.  Use of masks inside buildings and for liong lengths of time would create unnecessary irritation, facial skin issues/irritation, physical and mental discomfort, distraction and lack of focus with one's work/task at hand, bacteria exposure, skin irritation, abnormal breathing.

Frasnkly - this is such overreach and given all sorts of misinformation with Covid - I am adamantly opposed to our government making any of these ridiculous requirements.  And I'm quite embarrassed to have all sorts of stupid policy and action over a virus that turned out to be no big deal to the majority.  Oh yes - quarantining the healthy was brilliant.  

Please get your act together and actually do something that protects the most vunerable - leave the healthy people alone.  STOP WASTING TAX PAYER MONEY ON STUPID POOP AND POOR DECISIONS.  Sad to see Virginia's decline over the past years.  This state was pretty amazing once upon a time!

Thank you - Stacy
