Texas couple asked to leave restaurant for WEARING A MASK

[jbartle1]

They were trying to protect four month old immunocompromised child! Are you kidding me????? What the heck is going on in Texas????

[Velvet]

They took the immune compromised child to the restaurant? Or they just didn’t want to catch Covid. Then why would they go to a place where you have to take your mask off to eat?

[DAVES]

Re: covid 19
We, including me, are in a state of confusion. No matter what your OPINION is we find others to agree as well as others to disagree.
We've taken two Physer vaccines. Last week I asked my doctor if we should take a third. He is not allowed or does not want to take the time to say DUH I DON'T KNOW. I assume all will get the same information. A trip to the grocery store where we are forced to get our drugs. They are pretty good. I just find it weird to get drugs there. We were told they cannot give your the third shot they will get instructions early Oct. My point the people in medicine do not know what to do. Imagine a restaurant.

[Vikingjunior]

What does this have to do with TOTV?

[Number 10 GI]

What is your source for this tale of woe? Why would a parent bring their child who is immune comprised to a place where it could pick up the flu, a common cold or some other disease besides Covid?

The staff should have been making stupidity comments rather than racial ones.

No, they did not take the baby to the restaurant, he was left with his grandmother.

Also according to that report, the discrimination was against disabilities - they have a child who is at high risk if they contract COVID-19 and they were doing their job as parents to protect themselves from the virus while out, so they wouldn't catch the illness and pass it down to their disabled child at home.

I get that people want to have "no masks required" but to say "no masks allowed" is - well not surprising actually. It's Texas, afterall. "My body my choice" only applies if you want to restrict everyone else's rights.

[MSchad]

…Why would a parent bring their child who is immune comprised to a place where it could pick up the flu, a common cold or some other disease besides Covid?
Good question. We took the Sumter Landing Boat tour last month and a visiting couple with a child took the tour wearing masks and the asked the guide if he was vaccinated and wanted him and everyone else to keep their distance since the child was not vaccinated. I thought the same thing as you. Why on earth would you get on a boat where you are going to be elbow to elbow with others if you are worried about covid transmission.

[Reiver]

Wearing an athletic cup will keep you just as safe from Covid as will wearing a (non-N95) mask.

I dunno, maybe they should submit their news list to someone (you?) for approval on the merit of "worthwhileness".

[Escape Artist]

I wonder what the truth is? Perhaps the couple are looking for a financial settlement from the restaurant? It wouldn't
be the first time that's happened.

As for their race, no one said what their race is, but if they're black, well, BLM is considering protests against a NYC restaurant that turned away black customers who weren't vaccinated. So we have a scenario of "when racially-motivated grievances collide".

[Taltarzac725]

The restaurant owner said it was his place's dress code that masks are not allowed in his business. CNN interviewed him or someone did and put it on CNN.

It had nothing to do with the couple's race nor perceived disability. The owner knew nothing about their kid at home.

Still doesn't explain how these idiots thought that by wearing a mask in a restaurant they were protecting their kid. Logically, (to the extent that that applies on TOTV:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:), they must think that a mask protects them from getting the virus. We've debunked that type of thinking thousands of times over the last 18 months, so either they deserve the Darwin award as previously mentioned, or perhaps they had another agenda, as someone else posted.

What they needed to find was a restaurant where EVERYONE ELSE was wearing a mask. Or better yet, as the parents of an immunocompromised 4 month old, COOK AT HOME!

Exactly! But ours has become a country of whining and sniveling babies who run to CNN and/or lawyers at the very first hint of something not going the way they want it to. Backbones, morals, character, common sense...all down the toilet.

[Laschott]

We can wear all the protective clothing and breathing apparatus we want and nothing is 100%. One of the doctors in Jasper Indiana who works with the Covid patients contracted the disease. He wore all the protective gear you could wear. A mask at best is 50-50 if someone breathe or sneeze on you you’re done for. Wearing a mask is some protection but unless you’re wearing a respirator mask it’s a 50-50 proposition. The parents probably were doing the best they could to protect themselves an the child. In society today we tend to be critical of others instead of understanding others. I feel our country now has turned the corner of no return. You either for or against there is no neutral there is no understanding, love or forgiveness.

The usual paper/cloth mask is closer to 100-0 (against) if an infectious person sneezes on you. Where on Earth did 50-50 come from???????

[rlcooper70]

If the reason they were asked to leave the restaurant was that they were making the other patrons feel bad then that's one thing. If they were asked to leave because of some other reason then that's another. Not enough information. But I do understand you asking "what's going on in Texas?" and I think we all know what's going on. Many of us are just shaking our head.

How did the couples decision to wear a mask hurt ANYONE? The owner (interviewed on the news) said he was tired of mask and the politics. So if it's about politics, it's a free speech issue, like making the remove a t-shirt he dosen't like.

Yep and even if the owner wins the court case he loses. Bad publicity and legal cost are not going to be worth letting 2 people wear mask. Saw the interview on tele and all his "hard work and sweat" will be for naught. Less than a smart business decision imo.

6) You were located at a table in that restaurant where you would have seen the incident
7) And you saw and heard nothing, so concluded the story is a lie

Yeah, and if we all stay home, and never go out, there will be less/no transmission.
We could have our food delivered to our doorstep
And if we wear full-body suits, it will be safer.
Where do you draw the line?

For me, I'd rather take "reasonable" precautions and LIVE FREE.
My buddy says he "would prefer the slight chance of fighting covid than a 100% chance of having 'cabin fever'" . I agree with him.

We live in Texas & eat out a lot. Every restaurant we’ve eaten in some people wear mask & some don’t. To me telling someone NOT to wear a mask sounds like a bunch of hooie. Maybe some restaurant told someone to take their mask off but I can tell you I wouldn’t ever eat there again. I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to name this restaurant would you or is this just hear say? This is a little hard to believe.

If you don't like what they are doing in Texas, don't go there. Live somewhere else, keep out of other peoples lives.

If you are sick, flu included, either stay home or if you have to go out wear a mask. Otherwise, I like to see other peoples faces. Used to be only bank robbers wore masks - they make me uncomfortable.

My opinion, I don't think they help much at all and I don't like rebreathing my exhale - you see for a while I had some experience with them. We moved to Florida for the freedom that is lacking in NY, a place I had lived most of my life. Good riddens.

Taking an immune-compromised 4-month old to a restaurant during the start of flu season? If they knew the policy that was posted on the front door why would they go there?

Lot of being judgemental in this thread.

Do we know what steps in addition to wearing a mask they took?

You're right, my bad. I made the assumption that they were wearing the typical paper/cloth masks, but it could have been N95's, we don't know. Of course, walking into a restaurant that had a no mask policy with N95's on is just begging for a confrontation with management, and since "lawsuits" were mentioned, I will assume that was their goal.

I missed that. Is the policy posted? If so, they should have honored that, if not, then if they had no way of knowing, they should have left when told. Oh, they did. Maybe we it didn't need a news tory about it - unless something else made it news worthy. Dunno.

Do you mean to say that they should stay in their house forever without going out for anything, just living off the government because they can't go to work. Be serious they have every right to go out. If they want to wear a mask it is their privilege. It looks to me as if the restaurant didn't want to serve them either because of the mask (political discrimination) or their ethnic background (ethnic discrimination).

Do you mean to say that they should stay in their house forever without going out for anything, just living off the government because they can't go to work. Be serious they have every right to go out. If they want to wear a mask it is their privilege. It looks to me as if the restaurant didn't want to serve them either because of the mask (political discrimination) or their ethnic background (ethnic discrimination).

Never said they had to stay in their house. I said it was quite foolish of them to think that they were protecting themselves and by proxy their baby by wearing a mask. The restaurant is private property and can make a no mask policy if they want. Not serving someone violating their policy is NOT "political discrimination", and as long as they enforce their rule equally against anyone with a mask it is NOT "ethnic discrimination"

How many times do we have to go over and over the same thing??????

They were trying to protect four month old immunocompromised child! Are you kidding me????? What the heck is going on in Texas????

Not sure why you are blaming, Texas has nothing to do with it, it could of happened anywhere.
It's the owner of the bar they went to that was the issue. Rowlett is also a small town, so who knows.

Taking an immune-compromised 4-month old to a restaurant during the start of flu season? If they knew the policy that was posted on the front door why would they go there? Sounds like they were looking for a legal battle before there was one. Putting a useless mask on any child can cause serious medical and psychological damage.

You should read some of the links to the reporting on this,,,,,,,,will make your posts sound more intelligent

[Bogie Shooter]

That’s good to know. The child was safe.

Easy to know,,,,,just read the posts with links.

Where did you dream up the ethnic background from???

Yeah, tell me about it. You would think after correcting some people 4 or 5 times they would get it, but alas, they have their pig-headed notions firmly entrenched and are fully equipped with blinders and earplugs to the facts.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

I think this is BS, or a staged event. Anti maskers don't care if anyone wants to wear a mask. They just don't want to be required.

That is not true. There are people who are against mandatory masking...

and there are people who are against masking, period. THOSE are the "anti-mask" crowd.

They exist, obviously - since this restaurant owner is one of them.

Last year the sheriff of Ocala ordered that no one was ALLOWED to wear a mask in his offices, not employees or visitors. Mask-wearing was prohibited. You didn't have a choice. If you wanted to wear a mask, you could wear it outside, but not inside.

That was another anti-masker that made the national news.

There've been many. I actually had one accost me at Publix when I worked there, yelling at me to take my mask off and that I was going to make everyone else sick because my germs were just building up on the mask and would spread to everyone whenever I breathed. The manager had to step in.

There are nuts everywhere.

[Topspinmo]

I dunno, maybe they should submit their news list to someone (you?) for approval on the merit of "worthwhileness".

Maybe they should hold another debate and not give the questions out before hand. O wait they apologize for that. All is well.

Uh, what has that to do with anything today? And especially about this post?

That the great thing about America.... freedom of choice. Applies to both the restaurant owner as well as the patrons. BTW, why would anyone take a compromised child to a public restaurant?

See post #82, and about half a dozen others that state the child was at home with grandparents. Reading a thread-------it's not just for breakfast any more:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

They didn't, but they didn't want to bring virus home to child.

[golfing eagles]

They didn't, but they didn't want to bring virus home to child.

But their misconception was that a mask would prevent that, which it wouldn't. And I still think they picked the wrong restaurant, perhaps to make some sort of statement.

[Carla B]

BTW, they didn't take the child to the restaurant. Where did you get that idea?

Now, now as you say, we don’t know about the making a statement.:duck:

Wearing a mask offers protection albeit less in a restaurant because you take it off to eat. The key is the viral load or how much Covid enters your nose and mouth. Covid enters through the nose and mouth and if you are vaccinated your body begins immediately fighting the virus. So most people who are vaccinated will fight off the Covid virus before it travels to the lungs. Same with the polio vaccine. It enters the body but if you are vaccinated the disease does not spread to your brain and spinal cord. Hence you don't suffer the effects of polio. The greater the viral load the more your body has to work to fight it off. Everyone should have a right to protect themselves and if they want to wear a mask they should be able to wear a mask. If you have a relative or a close friend who has a compromised immune system as in my case a sister in law who is receiving treatment for cancer then by all means order take out. Do not go to restaurants and other crowded public places where you take off your mask. You can get Covid in your nose and mouth that you can spread even if you are vaccinated. The viral load will be less than a non vaccinated person but when being near a loved one who is immune compromised you want to be as safe as possible. And shame on any place that does not allow people to protect themselves by wearing a mask. My gosh they say it is ok to bear arms but you can't wear a mask to keep from getting a deadly virus. What gives????

Probably because a mask will not prevent you from getting a deadly virus. That's 1+ year old news.

Bearing arms won't prevent you from getting a deadly virus either. And in fact, it won't prevent anyone from walking up behind you in a restaurant and shooting you through the skull. IN FACT - it'll make it a lot easier for that shooter to do, since he's allowed to bear arms.

Wasn’t it CNN report?

Proven cheaters and liars which reflect’s on their ability to be unbiased when reporting there news opinions. :)

We can suspect other news sources, but when you caught there no doubt.:icon_wink:

Re: covid 19
We, including me, are in a state of confusion. No matter what your OPINION is we find others to agree as well as others to disagree.
We've taken two Physer vaccines. Last week I asked my doctor if we should take a third. He is not allowed or does not want to take the time to say DUH I DON'T KNOW. I assume all will get the same information. A trip to the grocery store where we are forced to get our drugs. They are pretty good. I just find it weird to get drugs there. We were told they cannot give your the third shot they will get instructions early Oct. My point the people in medicine do not know what to do. Imagine a restaurant.

What I think you meant to say is that YOUR doctor doesn't know. All other well informed doctors do know what to do. The information is readily available to them (and you) at CDC and Johns Hopkins.

[Laker14]

Is it your position that a mask won't give you 100% protection, or that a mask won't offer any protection at all?
Does it matter what type of mask one wears?
Also, whose science are you choosing to believe?

[Laker14]

there is no law preventing the owner of this restaurant from being a jackass. He was well within his rights to be a jackass, so he chose to be a jackass.
Given the number of jackasses in the population, he will likely gain more patrons from being a jackass than he will lose.
Nice business model.

Uh, nope, almost everywhere, even Newsmax.

Before Covid you couldn’t cover your face in a business. Science says you don’t need to either. Businesses can deny you for it. They did. Just like they can deny you for not wearing one.
