So many people are complaining it violates their rights and the Fourth Amendment. And so they’re mad and saying they’re cancelling their membership. Well bye, it’s a private establishment.

Cancellation to what. Walmart, Kroger's , Food for less, starters Bros , and every store I go to, demands mask and 6 to10 feet social distancing.

I hope this goes better then oklahoma where they had to shut down the requirement as threate of violence were sent at employee's and possibly one security guard was killed over it somewhere.

But where I live. it's a against to law not to wear mask doing gardening work, in your yard.

That's the kind of silly rule that's counter-productive.

This may sound crazy but hospitals need to have tour's for people that don't want to wear mask's to see people that have this virus and fighting to stay alive. My cousin the doctor says it's a horrible disease too have and she work's in a major New York hospital.

Problem there is no one will want to go and you can't force them otherwise they will go "my rights! the constitution! Tyranny!!"

It may be a bad (or even dumb) question to ask but don't you think that maybe allowing these people (anti-lockdown) to do what they want so that they can learn the hard way is best thing to do, even though it means sacrificing ourselves and other innocent people from getting effected by their stubbornness?

I sometimes think having people learn the error of their ways is sometimes for the greater good.

We have to wear masks to stores like walmart and aldis,and im gettting used to it.

Seems like there is something in the Bible about people having to have a number/name to buy and sell. Kinda like now with a mask. Interesting preview our governments have brought us.

Just like 'No shoes, no shirt, no service' is kind of like the number of the beast.

So... Costco is requiring that people wear masks, but people who don't want to wear masks are boycotting the store, thus ensuring they won't go into a Costco while not wearing a mask.

You can't fire me -- I quit!

Sure, if they signed a waiver that exempted them from COVID treatment. The medical professionals shouldn't be put into harms way because of these people's foolish decisions.

We could also let people drive while drunk so they can learn the error of their ways, even though it means sacrificing the innocent. I don't think that's a good idea because 1) sacrificing innocent lives so other people can learn a lesson is immoral; 2) people manifestly don't learn their lesson this way. Covid is even worse, since the connection between behaving recklessly and other people dying is invisible -- you usually will have no idea whom you infected.

while I think you gave a good point, the difference is based on knowledge.

Just by reading comments on social media from people who support anti-lockdown protests, it seems their main reason is disbelief. They don't believe it is real or not as serious, which can be understood due to the time frame of knowledge we've had about this virus than car accidents.

If they honestly hold to their convictions natural selection will do the rest. You can't prevent their recklessness. But you can limit its impact in public spaces.
