No. But a business has the right to mandate their usage on their property.

A person can have Covid 19 and be contagious for as long as 2 weeks before showing symptoms. So for up to two weeks you could infect everyone that you come in close contact with.



Bottom line. If you go into a store and everyone wears a mask, more often than not everyone who walked into the store uninfected will walk out uninfected. When infected and uninfected both wear masks, the transmission rate to the uninfected is less than 2%.

If your are a "maskie", that's okay, but don't expect the rest of us to be like you. We're too smart for that.
This makes no sense. If you're hiding at home, you don't need a mask. Masks are for going out in public.

I went to Trader Joe's yesterday. Every one wore masks. If I need something that's where I will go. People who shop in Cosco have the same high regard for others. They wear masks. Except for one family Cosco was a pretty safe place to shop. People can be infectious for up to two weeks before they feel sick. In Manhattan it's 1 out of 40. That's three people in every subway car.

So if you manly men prefer extinction, that's OK with me.

Yeah several doctors have said the same thing. But media still wants to promote the masks. Starting to think the masks are a psy-op so people don't forget there's a COVID-19 and the media enjoys those higher ratings and scared they'll lose people.

The masks should've been a thing 2 months ago. Now...eh.

You don't need to wear a mask at home, but I suspect that many maskies do. I see people driving around in their vehicles wearing masks. Are they protecting themselves from ... themselves???

I am happy to see the result with this poll.

As a native NY resident, I am the minority with choice #3 for a NYer

Government have too much power and it’s easily abused
