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.

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
