The studies on masking are crystal clear. Masking significantly reduces the spread of COVID-19.
When I walk into a brick and mortar store and see people not masked I immediately turn leave without spending a dime. Throughout this quarantine I have learned I can order literally anything I need or want and have it delivered straight to my door. Walking into a store or a restaurant is now a CHOICE.
It is no longer something I have to do.
If Virginia small businesses and restaurants want my family’s investment dollars they must mandate masking.
It is extremely easy for me to turn on my iPad and get whatever I want with the click of a button with no risk to my family’s health.
To recover the economy Virginia brick and mortar businesses must mandate masking, use common sense social distancing strategies and adhere to appropriate pandemic cleaning practices.
The world has changed, it’s time for brick and mortar stores and restaurants to change with it.
No masks = no dollars.
