What stands out to me in the original post is the couple claiming that their civil rights would be violated if they are required to wear a mask.

This is not the first time this argument has come about. I saw a video of a guy trying to get into a store screaming that it's still a free country.

Freedom and civil rights have nothing to do with businesses requiring people that enter their premises to wear a mask.

A business has every right to decide with whom and under what circumstances they will do business. Some upscale restaurants require men to wear a coat and tie. Some have signs saying "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Business". These requirements have nothing to do with freedom or civil rights. If you don't like the store's rules, you are free to not go in. The store is also free to set standards on which you may enter.

Some business do not allow firearms. There is not law against someone that has a permit to enter these facilities. All the business can do is to tell you to leave. If you refuse to leave, you can be arrested for trespassing, but not for violating gun laws.

What surprises me is businesses that have a sign stating that masks are required yet fail to enforce their rule. I've seen many people not wearing masks in such businesses and no one does anything about it.

Soon they'll be a vaccine and treatment for Covid-19 and this will all be behind us.

I don't like wearing a mask, but it's not a big deal to wear it when I'm on someone's property that requires it. I'm not giving up my freedom or civil rights. In fact, I just stopped doing business somewhere because they have a sign outside stating that masks are required and half of the staff are not wearing masks and some of the clients were not wearing them. In fact, I was free and it was my right not to do business with them any longer.
