LOGAN:
I am guessing that I will be on the unpopular side of this debate. I do not think face masks should be mandated in public places. However, I am not saying that they are not effective at reducing the spread of the virus. It has been shown that face masks can reduce the number of droplets and airborne particles that escape when people cough, sneeze, and even during normal conversation. At the same time, I would guess 90% of people are not wearing them correctly and taking proper precautions like not touching their masks and only wearing them once before discarding them. Also, I do not think it is right that the government can tell you you have to wear a mask in a public place such as walking down the sidewalk or in a park. To me, this is taking away from people's freedom. If I chose to accept the risks associated with not wearing a mask that is my choice. I do try to socially distance myself from people especially if they are wearing masks and I am not. This is only respectful. If someone is that worried or offended that I could spread the virus to them because I am not wearing a mask they should keep their distance or not be out in public. Also, I am okay with private companies such as businesses and stores saying you have to wear masks. It is their property/business, and you have to respect their wishes.
