    But they’ll be consistent with the logic that you can’t legally be forced to divulge your medical information… right?

      Not only that, but to protect my health, as someone highly at risk of death from COVID, it’s much more effective when others wear masks too!

        yeah that seems something most folks don’t seem to get. if you have a room full of people sharing air and one is masked and randomly someone has covid the mask is protecting them more than the one covered because if he is the randomly chosen person then it will keep it out of the air in high conentrations but if its someone else the maks wearer just needs to eat or get it on their hands or whatever.

    But how do you know if the person is wearing a mask to disguise their identity?

    “We are going to talk to them and find out”

    Sounds good to me…

    Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the facts that Nassau County has a shitload of colleges AND a GOP majority that wants to make it easier for cops to suppress and punish constitutionally protected criticism of their favorite fascist apartheid regime, nuh-uh!

          It’s been almost six years, so I can understand how you haven’t finished it. It’s very long.
