How does Taiwan do it? One of the main reasons is the mandatory use of masks in public.
Isn’t it time that we asked our representatives to make mask wearing mandatory in our state? Mandatory mask wearing is a small sacrifice for a short period of time in order to reduce and finally eliminate COVID-19? If the number of cases and deaths continue to increase, we may be forced to have another complete shutdown.
We don’t have to wait until the vaccines are distributed. Call our representatives and tell them that there should be a mandatory mask policy put in place immediately. The number for Gov. Ron DeSantis is 850-488-7146, for Sen. Dennis Baxley is 352-750-3133 and for Rep. Brett Hage is 352-315-4445. The phone numbers and/or email addresses for our county commissioners in Lake, Marion and Sumter can be found at the county websites.

I, for one, will never wear a mask while outdoors in the open air. Several governors including Hogan in Maryland said just yesterday that "you have no constitutional right not to wear a mask". LOL - what a moron. I would like to respond: "you have no constitutional power to mandate that I wear a mask".
For those who haven't read the constitution and don't understand that we have ALL rights except those specifically given to government, I offer the following logic.
Somehow, about 1/2 the population and most in government power including the US Supreme Court have found a woman's right to abortion in the constitution somewhere. I've read it several times and I can't seem to locate it. One of the mantra's of the pro-abortion crowd is "my body my choice". If a woman has the right to abortion, I most certainly have the right not to wear a mask.
Well, that's now my mantra using the same logic. My body - my choice. I choose not to wear a mask. Don't even think about arguing how me not wearing a mask might affect other people as I can make that same argument about abortion. An abortion kills another human absolutely.
My body - My choice. I think I'll have a t-shirt made.
