End the mask mandate
 

Please end the mask mandate. The masks most people are using provide little or no protection to anyone. Masks do, however, seem to give the wearer a false sense of protection because I see many of them not social distancing. As adults we should be able to make the decision for ourselves as to whether of not we should wear a mask. There is no legitimate reason to continue forcing people to wear masks. Most employees wear them down around their necks now because they it is just too hot to wear them. Many of my neighbors now shop either online or we carpool to WV to shop to avoid the whole mask issue. I know we would all rather spend money in our own neighborhoods but forcing us to wear masks will certainly keep our money going elsewhere. Please end the mask mandate now!
