Requiring everyone to wear a mask this late is irresponsible.  The virus is no longer and has never over-run our hospitals. Most evidence is now pointing to the fact that the virus was here long before anyone knew. It was here in late 2019. The virus is also not as deadly as originally thought. The data shows it is following the same "curve" as the seasonal flu.  Virus transmission is virtually zero in passing someone in a store. Masks are just virtue signals for the compliant and create an antagonistic atmosphere for those who cannot wear one for health reasons. And those hearing impaired who rely on reading lips are basically shut out of conversation.
