Besides, the so-called expert doctors on TV, including the Surgeon General state that you won't catch the virus from walking past someone. They all say that it takes a prolonged presence in close proximity to an INFECTED person to be at risk. Sure, I guess they could cough on you as you passed them, but how often does that happen and what is the chances that they are contagious?
I don't fault you all for being paranoid about your health, but take care of yourselves, don't rely on someone else to take care of you. Like I said, if you don't like how someone manages their business, then don't shop there. Publix is open to everyone, not just those that think they are entitled elitists from the Villages.
NO! It is not "their problem". It is everyone's problem. Those anti-maskers who may be asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic are spreading the virus. Because of them, deaths will continue and our economy will limp along and not get back to normal as we knew it before this pandemic.
