I’ve always hated wearing masks. I refuse to wear one. I have the right to take my chances. Screw the authorities.

And you feel the right to get others sick.
Don’t bitch when people like my daughter refuse to serve you wh. You shop.
They have rights too.

Oh and if you showed up in my Urgent Care and refused to wear the mask provided you could take a hike .

You’ll might be safer that way. The mask wearers can rub their infected masks in their eyes and mouths and infect themselves.

“I’ve always hated wearing masks. I refuse to wear one. I have the right to take my chances. Screw the authorities.”
That’s an appealing argument. It’s similar to someone who wants the right to ride a motorcycle without wearing a helmet. For a motorcyclist all that is needed is some sort of guarantee that they cyclist will not request nor use public health assistance.
The situation is an epidemic is a little more demanding. First, the idea behind wearing a surgical mask is not to protect the wearer but to protect others from asymptomatic people close to the wearer. So it’s not you who is placing yourself at risk but you who are placing others at risk. Secondly, if you avoid wearing an N95 type mask and do get sick and pay your own medical bills, you are still placing the doctors, nurses, and other innocent others at risk.

One of the few things that I think really is a good idea is wearing masks out to the grocery.
