Texas couple asked to leave restaurant for WEARING A MASK
 
They were trying to protect four month old immunocompromised child! Are you kidding me????? What the heck is going on in Texas????

Velvet 09-21-2021 03:11 PM

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?

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 does this have to do with TOTV?

Number 10 GI 09-21-2021 03:30 PM

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?

Sounds like click-bait to me. And if this actually happened, the parents should receive this month's Darwin Award.

GrumpyOldMan 09-21-2021 04:40 PM

Amazing it only took two or three posts to swing this around to blaming the victims.

Yes, it did happen - they made a big scene. Now, their lawyer is claiming discrimination, that the staff made racial comments toward them.

And they brought a 4 month old immunocompromised baby to a restaurant????
The staff should have been making stupidity comments rather than racial ones.

Bogie Shooter 09-21-2021 04:50 PM

No, they did not take the baby to the restaurant, he was left with his grandmother.
I could not find anywhere anything about a law suit?

OK, the kid was home (thank God)

So how did these rocket scientists figure that wearing a mask in a restaurant would protect their baby????

Yep, I got it, they THINK a mask will protect them from getting COVID and therefore keep the kid safe.

Well, like I said above---Darwin award winners.

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.

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 09-21-2021 06:13 PM

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

But it may protect you from a few other nasty viruses:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

You are surprised someone jumped to a negative conclusion? You must be new here!

Ben Franklin 09-21-2021 07:03 PM

Maybe restaurants should inform patrons that their retaurant is a mask only, or mask free restaurant. Give them a PERSONAL CHOICE before entering.

Wait, what are you doing on this forum, seriously, no reasonable post are permitted, and can result in permanent banning. Only argumentative or inflammatory posts in the future please.

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

Escape Artist 09-21-2021 10:16 PM

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 09-21-2021 10:55 PM

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.

If there was a no mask sign then you don’t go to that restaurant expecting to be allowed to wear a mask unless you can’t read then you have to be confronted. There is a pawn/ gun store right here in Wildwood that does not allow masks

“Problem”: Restaurant doesn’t allow masks

Solution: Go to another restaurant

It’s pretty simple.

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!

Wow, are you confused. Forced to get drugs. Do you understand the the medical field, those are the people you run to when you get covid, are learning every day about this disease? You glass is half empty attitude is the problem.

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 09-22-2021 05:23 AM

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.

Billy1 09-22-2021 05:26 AM

Do Texans kick out bank robbers that wear mask?

Billy1 09-22-2021 05:28 AM

I haven't read where you debunked anything.

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???????
