masks are too large to stop a virus which is only 0.1 microns in size. Cloth masks have even larger
pores. These masks were never designed to stop viral transmission and requiring untrained per-
sons to wear a mask can have unintended consequences.
Some other things to consider:
1) Deaf and hard of hearing persons lose the ability to communicate when they can't
read lips.
2) Veterans, rape victims and others with PTSD cannot wear a mask without serious
psychological effects and may also be triggered emotionally when they see others wearing masks.
3) Masks hide faces and make it harder to identify persons committing crimes.
Shoplifting becomes easier. And heaven forbid, a child is abducted in your establishment, even
with video footage, it would be difficult to identify the perpetrator.
4) And lastly masks hide smiles, a normal human emotion. A smile is contagious and
promotes a sense of wellbeing. A lack of smiles can create an atmosphere of fear and anger. If an
establishment has a required mask policy, some patrons believe they have the right to confront
and intimidate others with no masks. This can put the safety of all at risk and has even escalated
to gun fire on at least two occasions so far.
In closing I would iike to implore you to take all these points into
consideration. Are your citizens, customers and/or employees going to be safer and healthier
with the mask policy you choose to go with? Is the policy going to lead to a positive or negative
environment? Are you following science or just kowtowing to the fear mongering that is currently
sweeping our country? A report with links to scientific studies, medical experts and news articles
relating to mask wearing is included along with this handout for further information.
