Mask and Fine
It's been a while since mask (face covering) in public became mandatory . At this time, we can't enter any grocery stores or public spaces without mask or face covering in California. Fortunately, there are many masks out there and I can find them with reasonable prices at many places. It's common sense and common decency that we can all do to protect from spreading COVID-19 to each other. I am surprised that there are some people who don't wear them because they have freedom not to wear them! Maybe not so surprising given that our own president didn't believe in the importance or effectiveness of mask-wearing until recently.
However, anti-mask people will be greatly reduced soon... why? There will be a fine at many places including San Mateo county. If it passes, there will be ticketing of people who refuse to wear masks; cited 1st time $100 fine, cited 2nd time $200 fine and cited 3rd time within a year $500 fine !!! At this point, there are no fines in San Francisco.
I believe that wearing mask saves life and helps people you know or love. I do support wearing masks in public and social distancing. However, this type of law passed so quickly and not laws for the other issues that many people actually need.... Well, either way, the last thing we need at this difficult time is ... getting a huge fine. Wear a mask everyone!
