Absurd. The only way they'll get a mask on me is if I'm dead.

Coronavirus mask policing: Texas city ready to fine citizens $1K for not covering up

The coronavirus mask police may soon be on patrol in Laredo, Texas.

A local ABC affiliate reported Thursday that citizens may now face misdemeanor charges and a $1,000 fine if they are caught in public without covering their faces.

The new rule requires anyone “older than 5 years old to wear some sort of mask when going out in public,” the station reported.

On Wednesday, however, Surgeon General Jerome Adams told “Good Morning America” that a discussion with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the most efficient use of masks for healthy people was ongoing.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Why older than 5 years old??? Why do they hate children and want them to die????

(hyperventilating rant over)

This is getting (even more) absurd.

They need to start handing out free masks if they're going to start forcing people to wear masks. And .... that is NOT what Trump just said. He said it is up to the individual to decide to wear one or not.

Lots of little Barney Fife's popping up all over the place. Let's take names and remember.

The "experts" have changed their "guidance" of masks like a ping-pong ball changes direction. I don't believe a word out of their WHO-worshipping mouths.

Since the Wuhan is such a small particle it can travel through a surgical mask and an N95 mask. But there is a cottage industry popping up on FB of homemade fabric masks which are decidedly more porous than medical grade masks. The madness continues. The N95 masks offer some protection and should be reserved for healthcare workers.

The CDC has sewing and non-sewing instructions for your face masks.
