Natalie Wester and her husband wore masks inside a Texas restaurant to protect their newborn son who has cystic fibrosis — so the owner kicked them out.

Too many people have no sense of civic duty or belonging to a community anymore. Something something freedom.
But those same people claim "my body, my choice" when they really mean "your body, my choice."

But it's cool for businesses to require masks? Something something nazi's.

Well, if businesses can REQUIRE masks, they can require NO masks.

If a law mandates it, then no. Society has a duty to protect itself.
But to your point, I don't disagree but there is a fundamental reason why there's a difference.
Someone wearing a mask literally affects no one, as was the case with the couple Gil Dobie cited. Their bodily autonomy infringes on no one else's bodily autonomy. Consequences for wearing a mask are inappropriate.
With the case of anti-maskers, during a global health crisis, their bodily autonomy to not wear a mask can have an effect on other people's bodily autonomy. Consequences for not wearing a mask are appropriate.
This is the main difference.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Who cares, a private business can do what it wants so long it's within the law...assuming laws aren't malleable in this case...and if they are malleable, then homeslice can do whatever the fuck he wants in his business establishment with regards to masks, no?∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 8:15 pmIf a law mandates it, then no.

He can do it if the law permits (which it does in this case), but his reasons don't make sense.
Hopefully the business fails.

For sure, but it was national television so he was definitely limited.

Laws are malleable, so again, who gives a fuck?
And good on you for being a good little neo-Marxist for wishing ill on those who don't align with your ideals.

Rules and laws can be ignored... except for the ones our commissars enact (for the greater good)

He can do whatever he wants. The rest of society can use or ignore the law however it wants as well.
You also don't understand neo-marxism but that's ok. Just know that not supporting a product/person because of XYZ is very much a capitalism thing. Capitalism is basically the ultimate cancel culture.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
You're the dumbass that said laws are malleable. Now you are bitching about something as useless as a mask mandate, or lack thereof, in a private business. I'm just here calling out your bullshit and enjoying your mental gymnastics.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 8:44 pmHe can do whatever he wants.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Well, I disagree. The owner clearly said he felt it was a political statement for them to wear a mask where masks were prohibited. So….no masks! Kind of like “no shirt no shoes no service”….”masks? No service…”∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 8:15 pmIf a law mandates it, then no. Society has a duty to protect itself.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Being healthy certainly helps but even that is not a guarantee…
https://www.khq.com/news/woman-contract ... D0y1hkQs5kPOST FALLS, ID - "Go now. Don't hesitate, do it. This disease, this virus has really shown that no one is safe, not the healthiest of people. It doesn't matter, Tamara Brining said.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hurt so many in our community. Hospitalizations at a record high, beds are filling up every day, but for many getting sick from the virus seems far-fetched. But it happens to even the most unlikely people.
It's a situation no one wants to be in. Tamara Brining was in peak shape, a fighter who even won a triathlon with her husband, and now she's in a different kind of fight... against a virus.
Winning a triathlon is a feat many athletes never achieve but on August 8th Tamara Brining and her husband did the unthinkable.
"Everything was great, we felt good, and everything was fine," she said.
And then the unthinkable happened to her.
"The 13th of august, it was like, I just felt a little tickle in my throat. And I was like, okay, you know, something, whatever. It's Friday, and I've got the weekend, and probably nothing. And then the next day came the fever, and then a fever, and then the fever, and then more fever. And eight days later, I couldn't break the fever," she said.
She went to the hospital, got fluids and went home.
"I thought I could make it and then that night just went downhill," she said.
Just one week after winning a triathlon, Tamara was struggling to breathe as COVID wreaked havoc on her lungs.
"I went to the ICU. So, I was there for four days," she said. "I couldn't even walk to the bathroom by myself. I couldn't walk five feet by myself."
