I’m done with the mask mandate and have stopped complying. This has been a total farce. #UnmaskIdaho

19missmusic89 I stopped wearing them about a week ago entirely. So far no one has bothered me about it. Not sure how I will respond if/when someone does ask me to put one on. (Whether I will refuse or just leave)

@@Franquie Since there are exemptions, and our medical/mental information is protected by HIPPA, we are not required to explain whether or not we fit these exemptions. Businesses have to assume, therefore, that if you aren't wearing a mask, you fit one of the exemptions, especially since, even if you told them that you are exempt, you are not required to prove it. A good faith effort by businesses is met, as well, just by posting the order/mandate, so they don't have any more responsibility than that to enforce it. And, of course, there are plenty of businesses that desperately want our dollars, so if someone does actually enforce masks, take your money somewhere else. I haven't been to Costco since May 1. I can live fine without them.

@@tracycurran8434 Thank you for that info! And I totally agree with taking my money elsewhere if confronted. The problem that at big chain stores, it isn't the owners who are confronting people about it. It is employee's who could care less if you ever come back. I was out shopping again today though and not one person said a word to me. I'm sure I get dirty looks from people, but I wouldn't know, because I unfortunately don't make eye contact with people anymore. Which is extremely sad! Normally I make eye contact with others frequently and smile. It is a shame what this whole farce is doing to this country and to our relationships with other people.

@@Franquie Check out babies when they see you without a mask and you smile at them. They are thrilled! It must be very difficult for them to see so little of people's faces, since they are learning their social cues from faces.

As an "observer of government," I find it striking that, in considering recommendations to schools, the data set on your dashboard that shows 0-18 year old positives far outweigh any other age group, this is also the group that puts the least amount of strain on medical availability. Surely that is statistical information that should be considered. I also wish to point out that data trends, rather than being attributed to mandates by this Board, could just as easily be attributed to the virus running its course. Yes, people are wearing face masks, but they are very often, maybe even mostly, not wearing them correctly, not covering their noses (which indicates to me a token adherence to an unpopular mandate), wearing masks handed out by businesses which are not one size fits all, which leads to poor fit, not to mention that any type of face covering is not effective, as per articles in JAMA and the study in the Lancet. Masks give people a false sense of security, and we have been warned numerous times by medical professionals that they do not take the place of social distancing, which is much more effective, as a tool to help slow down spread. Having said all that, and while I am not always happy with determinations by this Board, I am glad I am not you, and I do appreciate all the extra time and energy you have put into this situation. I recognize that no matter what you decide, everyone is not going to be happy. So, thank you for not resigning and for continuing with the thankless task of serving on this Board. I have felt heard, from time to time, which is about all an observer can expect, I guess.
