How do you know that? Do you want me to start posting hundreds of videos? And those are just the cases where people were caught. I have friends who've seen similar freakouts that weren't filmed.
Do you believe businesses have a right to require that their patrons wear masks? Or any other item of clothing?
I asked you first and you failed to answer. You made the claim now it's up to you to prove it. I merely asked you a question but you think I should have to prove otherwise without you first backing up your initial claims?
Yes, I believe businesses do have the right to mandate a mask while in their buildings and I do comply. Most pro-mask people expect us to wear it just walking around outside even while social distancing and I disagree with that.
I think one reason Taiwan took the virus so seriously and controlled it is because the general public acknowledged its a CCP bioweapon and needs to be taken seriously.
When you say its a harmless virus from a batsoup it doesn't sound so scary.
Telling the public its 100% a CCP bioweapon will of course instill a lot of fear at first , but in the long run people will be a lot less fearful bc they will likely take the virus more seriously and spread will go down and we won't be as at risk, and can relax more without fearing catching the virus everytime we go to the store,
If we want spread to go down in the USA, we can start by calling it for what it is "A CCP bioweapon" . then people would take it more seriously.

I went to the mall yesterday for a bit and was pretty surprised at how many people were not wearing one. At the grocery store in my area there is still virtually 100% compliance.
That being said, the mask-Nazis are also a bit too much for me. I cannot fathom approaching a stranger in public and verbally abusing them for not wearing a mask. I would just avoid getting near them. Predictably, in some circles wearing a mask has also become the latest "look how much more caring, compassionate and righteous I am than everyone else" virtue signaling just like "staying home", black Instagram squares, etc.
I'm in Taiwan where Covid-19 is ancient history now. Are medical grade surgical masks (three-ply, non-woven PP middle ply) readily available there in the U.S. now?

You can buy online or in store. My husband bought some surgical type masks at Target the other day.

Since getting the virus means you might die, I understand that people who are aware of that and not living in a state of denial are scared and can't accept the antisocial behavior some people still display.

Such a ridiculous retort. I just posted several examples of people freaking out anout masks and screaming about "effing Democrats" and you replied that people weren't freaking out. Then you ask to see proof that the millions of trumpees following his example and eschewing masks are all freaking out, which is clearly impossible.
What will you do if trump starts wearing a mask tomorrow and recommending that everyone does? Follow the Dear Leader or oppose him and continue to whine about your constitutional rights being violated?

yes, you can get a box of 50 for $15-20 and lately a number of stores have been handing them out to customers who show up without a mask.
