Why would anyone wear a mask outdoors?

Belinda Kitchen

I think if the order has been lifted then the places should ease up on people not wearing a mask in their business. If the President is trying to reopen the country and we are slowly getting back on our feet then we should have our right if we want still wear a mask or not !!!!!!

Christopher Watson

cause I don't get around a lot of people, EVER. So I don't see the sence in it.

Max

Some people wear a mask when they shower. LOL

Missy Marlett

Ready to get back to normal and the masks really congest me having had 2 sinus surgeries and ending up with MRSA in my sinus cavity after the first one. Wearing a mask has been tough for me!

Max

Robin McKee

Health orders in Columbia and Boone County, which included a mask mandate, expired Wednesday. However, businesses can still require customers to wear masks on their property.

Yes I do, but if there is a similar store nearby that doesn't, I will use the store that doesn't.

Dennis Gravedoni Sr.

Because they show a concern for their customers.

Wendi Newman

I know my responsibilities to my family and community, therefore I'll choose masks and businesses that require them every time.

I do not like to wear a mask. Simple.

Missy Marlett

I am tired of it! It's time to get back to normal. I have been to many events outside of Boone County with large crowds and no masks required and everyone has been fine.

Max

I agree with you, I will avoid the mask required stores if possible. If not I will wear a mask and stay as little time as I can.

Linda Justice Cordes

If these business wants to keep their customers they better lift the mask mandate I will be shipping only at Store that so NOT require masks

Businesses choosing not to comply with CDC guidance should be punished for not complying with said guidance. Before, businesses were penalized for not complying with the CDC guidance(which actually came from the position statement of the private institution, CSTC) and it should be no different now.

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!

HelenHighwater

It's basically a no-brainer.

Lorrie Tucker

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.

No. People should be able to choose.

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.
