-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to sign an executive order allowing businesses to refuse service to people who won't wear masks.
-There's clear evidence that face coverings can help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
-However, their requirement has become a point of political and cultural divide reaching as high as the White House.
New York governor Andrew Cuomo will sign an executive order allowing businesses to refuse service to people not wearing a mask, he said Thursday, as face coverings become a political sparring point amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"No mask - No entry," he said on Twitter during his daily press briefing in New York City.
We're giving store owners the right to say 'if you're not wearing a mask, you can't come in," Cuomo said. "That store owner has a right to protect themselves; that store owner has a right to protect other patrons in that store. You don't want to wear a mask? Fine, but you don't have the right to go into that store if the store owner doesn't want you to.
The move follows similar orders by local officials in various cities and states and could protect businesses — many of which have already been requiring masks for some time — from discrimination lawsuits. In Minneapolis, for example, not wearing a mask could land someone a $1000 fine. New York previously began to require masks in public spaces when social distancing is not possible and on public transportation."
'No mask — no entry': New York Gov. Cuomo says he'll sign an executive order allowing businesses to refuse service to people who won't wear masks
It has been done in hot spots and in places which are taking an aggressive approach to fight the coronavirus. I believe it is time to do this nationwide. It is actually long past time. This should have been done from the beginning.
The countries which are having success at fighting the virus are taking it seriously.
And after all. How can you expect to win a war if you don't even fight it?
Wearing a mask is how you do that.
We need better leadership. We need a leader who will set the proper example.
The coronavirus will still be with us in November. We are going to have to change our leadership so we can get the proper leadership to set the proper example so that we can turn this thing around. Allowing the pandemic to get out of control is irresponsible. We will have a chance to fix that in November.
Voting to change our leadership in November is the best thing we can do for our nation to fight the pandemic.
