		<description>REGARDING:
&quot;Can someone please tell me exactly what constitutional right is being violated by the requirement to wear masks?&quot;

I am not saying I agree since public health is separate from civil liberties. For example you have a right to own a weapon but not to randomly shoot people with it.

You have a right to speak, including other forms of speech such as wearing black armbands or yellow ribbons or masks to indicate you believe you are being gagged, deprived of the right to speak.

If you can wear a mask to make a statement, it could be reasoned you would have a right to NOT wear a mask as long as you were certain you were not endangering other people. In fact, if you could do that, you would not really need masks -- nobody would, just avoid those who are infected. 

Since you do NOT know who is infected/infectious, you go back from freedom of speech to public health concerns, but they figure public health is of no concern to them for a number of reasons.

They possibly don&#039;t care if they might be harming others. It is like shooting a gun into a crowd but knowing only one bullet in a hundred would kill anyone. 
Or a working prostitute who is HIV+.

Some have convinced themselves you are going to get sick eventually, so them being the ones who infected you didn&#039;t affect the final result. This is a bit like deciding since we all die eventually, it won&#039;t matter if they kill us themselves because in the end we would be dead anyway. This is true, but they have given themselves the right to shorten other people&#039;s lives.

And then there are those who are still convinced it is all a HOAX, FAKE NEWS, DEEP STATE. They just think the entire world pandemic with 543,647 deaths (and counting) is just a political ploy against one man.  There is little hope for them until they look at it more closely. (On a totally unrelated matter, many Germans finally realized Adolph Hitler was not a nice man.)

		<description>RENIA  A. PHEIFFER,  Do you not wear a seatbelt either? By your logic, that would be showing a spirit of fear, also.  God gave us a brain for a reason; so we could use common sense.</description>

Speed limits are constitutional. 
Building codes are constitutional. 
Restrictions on carrying guns in certain places are even constitutional and the right to bear arms is literally spelled out in the constitution.</description>

		<description>Don, fear the Lord with reverence. do not fear what man can do for he can only take your life.  fear what God will  do if you do not accept Jesus as your savior.</description>

		<description>T0 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, your comments make no sense at all. using your logic I might as well walk down the interstate with a blindfold on. you seem to think it is your right to infect or cause some one to get sick and you do not care. you are definitely paranoid. you have the right to drive your car off a bridge but let me out first. please do not use the Bible to back you up when you do not understand it.


&quot;those that are afraid or worried about it keep wearing their masks&quot; I am not afraid or worried but I do use common sense.</description>

		<description>Going forward I&#039;m afraid the mask issue is going to really divide us to the point of violence.  We&#039;re already divided enough.  I hope I&#039;m wrong.</description>
