Wear a mask or don't wear a mask, I don't care. I would like to see folks that KNOW they have a cold or some other illness wear a mask, but I also know that this is a free country. Unless they declare Marshal Law, I don't know if anyone has the right to mandate a mask. I go into stores all the time that have signs outside asking everyone to wear masks. Half the folks wear them and half do not. Mostly young are the ones that do not, but I've seen plenty of older ones also. Personally, the only reason I wear one is for my spouse. I hope that the little prevention I do might help her avoid illness. I was wearing gloves also, as well as eye protection, when it first started. Now, I only wear an old cloth mask so that I might not inhale someone else's disease. Not that I am confident that it even works, but something is better than nothing.
I am not saying that if you feel the need to wear a mask that you shouldn't. I am only saying that we live in a free country and no one should be intimidated into doing something solely to make others "feel" more secure. It should be done willingly, not mandated. Will you all still wear masks after a vaccine is invented? You don't wear one for the flu and a new flu comes out every year. And people die from the flu also.
This is just my opinion, not a declaration. My opinion is also that the country is seeing a major case of Mass Hysteria.
If you do not like to see people in public that are not wearing masks, then use your Constitutional Right to Freedom and do not go out in public.

The answer to the question: Should stores require masks?
Require - NO! Request - sure.
