I'm also still wearing gloves, which seems to have fallen by the wayside. I went to the ophthalmologist today and felt comfortable holding the paperwork clipboard and when the doctor handed me that plastic thing to cover one eye. I put gloves on whenever I enter an enclosed space and throw them away when I exit. |
I don’t wear gloves when out but I always have on a mask. I keep some in the glove boxes of the car and the cart.
As far as the absolutely capricious concept of some individuals “nobody can mandate my health choices, or my body my choice”, they have a very sad awaking. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE TO INFLICT PERSONAL HARM TO OTHERS.
1) You CANNOT smoke in public buildings.
2) You CANNOT drive under the influence.
3) You CANNOT drive without a seatbelt.
4) In many states, not all states,you CANNOT transport a gun over state lines.
5) You CANNOT be in a public space knowing you have Tuberculosis without talking your meds.
6) You CANNOT yell fire in a movie theater or any other public crowded building with the intention of causing a stampede.
7) In many States you CANNOT drive while distracted. This includes talking on hand held cell phones, texting, even a sexual encounter ( believe it or not, that does happen)
Feel free to add any other CANNOTS to this list.
This list has all arrest offenses. ALL are for the public health and safety.
So I guess you really don’t have the right to make any choices you think are your Constitutional Rights, there are amendments, they are called Laws. All Sates have them, some States have more than others.
