I am sure you've seen videos of such people that try to go into a store but yell "I CAN'T WEAR A MASK DUE TO CONDITIONS/HIPPA!!!!!!!". But isn't that just a bunch of bullcrap?
Yes, in the overwhelming and vast majority of cases, I think it's bullcrap, as you put it.
However, there are some legitimate medical conditions and situations when wearing a mask is not advisable or possible. It's my understanding most of those relate to facial injuries or trauma, like severe burns, recent surgery and some severe allergies. In any event, far fewer people suffer from those legitimate reasons than there are people claiming they can't wear masks.
IMO it is like requiring shoes and t-shirt, not a big deal.
But most people I see do not have a properly fitted mask or dont cover their nose, if you are really worried about catching it, car-side pickup is the way to go.
For me it's just uncomfortable. It's hard enough to breathe without one in the AZ heat, so of course I'll slide it down when I'm away from people.
Now as for people w/ asthma or other breathing conditions...I think it's best they try to just avoid going outside or finding a special mask that actually helps the breathe better.
I've not worn a mask, and don't know how uncomfortable they are. I don't want to wear one, like to breath in our costly clean air in my state, and if I ever have to, when I go to doctor in Dec, I'll cross that bridge. I'd like this mania to be over is my first choice..

I know 2 people personally with medical conditions that cannot have breathing restriction, which is what a mask does.
They exist whether you believe it or not. Truth is like that.

Yes, its a bunch of BULLCRAP!!
There are several forums that say the ADA DOES NOT COVER people who do not want to wear masks!!
Everyone, just WEAR YOUR DAMN MASKS and SHUT UP! Respect others!!!!!!!!!
This is not a doctor's office or hospital so hippa has nothing to do with what people's opinions are. Or has this become a doc's office?
And nothing like wearing a shirt or shoes or pants....good grief.
And the angry bold words thrown around here..hope no heart attacks....
