security for most. I experience this at the grocery store frequently—people with masks are the
worst offenders of bumping into me, reaching over me and others, etc.
3) Masks must be washed daily to be effective. This is also part of the CDC recommendations. I
see the same masks on grocery store workers, and while I have no proof they don’t wash them
daily my hunch is the probability is low that every person follows this guideline. Given this, are
we going to mandate washing as well? How will it be enforced? If this isn’t done, an unintended
consequence is that, in theory, a virus carrier is loading up their mask with viral residue daily and
thus exposing people they encounter to *more* viral load than they otherwise would have when
they wear their mask.
In light of these, | would ask that you vote against this if it comes to ballot. Not because I don’t
believe we should be safe in our community, but because I don’t think this has enough evidence
to support a local ordinance-level mandate, and I think the other ramifications may have
umnmtended consequences that go against what this is trying to accomplish.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss.
