Masks Optional
 

There are plenty of medical reasons not to wear a mask. Not all of them have to do with lung capacity or pre-existing conditions. My son has already been denied medical treatment because of his inability to wear one. Stores should be allowed to uphold the executive orders but that includes any exemptions. No picking and choosing! If somebody wants to wear a mask let them do so. If somebody does not want to wear a mask let them do so as well.

 

Additionally, almost all of the over-the-counter and recommended masks in use by the public are ineffective based on scientific data. It's like putting up a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes. Masks give a false sense of security and a superiority complex to those that wear them.
