Florida sheriff bans deputies and visitors from wearing face masks

This is how Florida's "doing it right."

[quote]Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods has instructed employees of his office, in Florida, not to wear masks when they are on duty, barring some exceptions. "This is no longer a debate nor is it up for discussion," he said in an email to employees.

Woods noted the mayor of Ocala, which is the largest city in Florida's Marion County, vetoed a mask mandate that was recently passed by the city council. He said the veto is expected to be overruled but that the ordinance exempts government entities, leaving the decision of whether or not to mandate masks to the figure heads.[/quote]

We are not communist China, the government should not tell us how to take care of our own health. Wearing masks should be voluntary, not forced.

@SW-User neither should it be banned.

@SW-User What kind of a moron thinks they have ANY CHOICE in the matter ?
THIS STUFF WILL AFFECT YOU IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW ACCEPTED RULES ON HOW TO TREAT IT.

@Picklebobble2 I don't wear a mask anywhere outside of work, I wash my hands regularly and keep myself clean....and I have tested negative 5 times. I don't need Dr. Fraudci, the government, or the CNN lie factory telling me how to live MY life. If that disturbs or upsets you, you know where the block button is. Good day.

@SW-User 5 times you've been tested ?? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE ?
I think you're lying through your teeth !

@SW-User It's not just about keeping you safe from the virus. It's about keeping you safe for everybody else. It's a piece of effing cloth. 70 years ago teenagers took off to fight a war they thought they might lose. Now we argue with the produce manager over a mask.

And the government regulates health and safety all the time. You wear a seatbelt, put on a helmet, vaccinate your children for school, contain your cigarette smoke in public, and a whole lot more.
