A Question

A question for those who are bitching and moaning and whining about having to wear a face covering when in public:


Do you wear shoes when you go to the store? Do you wear pants when you go to the store? Do you wear a shirt or a blouse when you go to the store? All of these regulations have been around for decades, presumably without protests.

So if you don't complain about those restrictions, and if you don't think they are taking away your constitutional rights, then what’s the big deal about wearing a mask for a few minutes when you enter a store?

We are in the midst of a public health nightmare than has, so far, taken the lives of more than 105,000 Americans. Our health care workers are overwhelmed. Businesses and employees are struggling to survive. But you're upset about being asked to wear a mask?

Is it too much to ask for people to wear a face covering when in public places? And exactly which "constitutional rights" have been taken from you? As far as I can tell, the constitution makes no mention of the right to be free of wearing a face covering.
 
Isn't this country facing enough challenges -- high unemployment, business closures, a pandemic that continues to kill hundreds of people every day, police murder of an unarmed black man, and now, riots and looting in major cities across the country -- to just wear the face covering and shut up about your 'constitutional rights"?
