I'm 73 with COPD Emphysema& wear plastic gloves and an N 95 facemask. It is a public hazard to got without proper PPE and should be mandated!

It's basically a no-brainer.

Masks will help slow the spread of COVID, and save lives. Small price to pay to stay safe. Much less restrictive than another lockdown.

Larry Myers

Because I can read.

Claudia K

Because it protects others and is not a big deal.

Many people say they should be able to choose whether to cover their faces and that the dangers of COVID-19 are exaggerated.

Government should set recommendations and guidelines that follow science. We should not be punishing business for not being the mask police. I think you would have more buy in from people by giving them the facts and making recommendations, instead of making a bunch of people angry and rebellious.

Short term temporary situation that most of us have been through more times than we care to remember. At least we do not have shortages and lines, like we did in the 1970's.

Andy Kinney Emerson

Zaos Gonzolez
