Here ya go: DC now requires customers to wear masks to use grocery stores. Another Democrat mayor.

Wait, weren't the Republicans preaching at us to wear masks? Why is this a problem then?

it used to be a criminal offense to wear a mask in public in DC. Maybe they changed the law.

No they weren't. Isn't that about the thousandth topic that leftists who do things try futilely to say it's actually their opponents?

While carrying dogs in purses in the vegetable aisle is overlooked.

I think wearing masks at grocery stores or any place in public is a good idea right now. I see it all over where I am.

It is not a cunning plan and to me it is not even funny, too many lives have been lost all over the world. If we can do a small thing like wearing a mask when we are out walking the dog, just walking, grocery shopping, other essential things, WHY NOT, THIS IS NOT JOKE.

In other words the disease isn't contagious and they suit up - and often die - for the fun of it?

Fine with me if you're willing to risk your life. All the best - you'll need it.

I'm sorry but it's only your truth. I wish I had bookmarked the videos I watched yesterday actually showing how efficient each of the mask wear - DYI, surgical and N95 in relation to the droplets expelled and what can pass through the masks because then you would see how ridiculous your belief is. If I do find the video - I will be back to link it.

Masks may prevent the spread of the larger droplets but it's the microscopic ones that are lightweight that pass through the masks and are suspended in the air for up to 20 minutes. Even if you have a mask on - walking through these droplets you will breathe in quite a few of them because they pass through cloth and surgical masks so easily - let alone the fact that neither are tightfitting.
