White privilege is thinking a mask is tyranny.

They are gonna have a little dictator at each entrance to insure we wee peasants are following their dictatorial policies. This won't end well workers are going to get hurt. I was already irritated with their asinine lines standing in the heat and rain so I rarely went to the store this will insure I WON'T be spending any of my money there. Wife just went this morning to get groceries and she says she won't be going back either. This crap is getting COMPLETELY out of control. Plus easy way around it is you aren't allowed to wear a mask if you are carrying a weapon.

You may soon have trouble finding a grocery store to shop in. Just sayin.

Doubt it. I will figure it out if that happens. I already refuse to enter any store that requires face masks.

You should write your local Law Enforcement and EMTS and tell them that their being stupid for wearing masks I'm sure they will agree with you....
Fearless leader has been wearing one lately.

At this point you’re dumb if you want to keep being stubborn.

At first I didn’t. Now, it’s really not a big deal.

He's basically saying that people like him will beat up employees that ask customers to wear masks.

Why he thinks it's OK to make threats in public, I don't know. Maybe he thinks that if he gives fair warning, he'll be let off the hook in case he does flip out and beat someone up. You'll have to ask him.

Yet, countries that listened to their scientists and wore masks (or the rest of the developed world) we have the below graph. Some are re-opening and some never had to close but here in America we have FREEDUMB. Now, we are going to be worse while the OP cries about wearing a mask to WalMart. America is number one!!!

If we had acted like adults a few months ago, socially distanced, worn masks, and if the federal government had done the logical thing and gave financial support to the middle and lower class to incentivize staying at home, we'd be over this pandemic by now. Instead, we have uneducated, ignorant people refusing to wear masks, and a president who is trying to turn the concept of American citizens dying into a political issue, purely to protect his ego.
A few months ago they told people to not wear masks.

Once everyone is forced to wear them then when will it end? Having to wear a mask every day for the rest of your life is not a world worth living in.

When they closed down it was supposed to be only for a couple of weeks. Turned out to be a lie.

Another few weeks. Lie.

Going into June and it's still not reopen.

They aren't even mentioning when the masks will end. Instead, it's the "new normal" and people will get used to it. So, they intend for it to last.

I guess they wear people down enough with the masks then if a 'vaccine' comes along where you have to have a tattoo on your body that can be scanned to prove you had the vaccine to enter the store then people will be willing to comply more readily.

You won't have to worry about doing so if you don't.

Please explain why people should fear the mask more than the virus?

In my town, since last Saturday people have been required to wear masks in stores since Saturday. Most big cities now require doing the same. Tulsa just passed a law requiring mask wear.

I don't mind required mask wear. The alternative could be for the government to go back to shutting down a lot of businesses. That would be far worse. We still can't go see a movie, though. It's odd that people weren't protesting or doing petitions over that.
