In 2020 face masks were mandated by certain countries as a control measure against the spread of SARS-CoV-2. As of early May 2020, 88% of the world's population lived in countries that recommend or mandated the use of masks in public. Opponents argue that masks do little to combat the virus since most people do not wear them properly. Proponents argue that a mask mandate would help stop the spread of CV19 and prevent tens of thousands of deaths.

I think they should allow company's to make their own choices regarding the wear if face masks, in their stores, and property. Government should only be responsible for their offices and property they own

Yes, the government should recommend it, but if cases rises, they should make it mandatory.
@8P4P98S3yrs3Y
No, enact a herd immunity programme and let the virus get weaker, history shows that not all viruses can be totally eradicated. Some are endemic and stay with us for millennia. But this should be left up to individual business owners and individual school principals. We should mandate everyone get tested every 5 days for school and work.
@8NYSR773yrs3Y
Yes but only in areas with outbreaks, and care should be taken that exempt people still have the right to go places. Use of an exempt card from a medical professional may be helpful.

i believe everyone should get tested in school so we can know how many people have it and dint have it. the face masks done stop you from getting it stops you from giving it sanitizing is more important
