Heres the letter I wrote back to Costco today when I got their mask requirement email:
There is no state mandate in place ordering or requirng masks. Please check Gavin Newsom’s website and the State of California Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Public Health's statement on April 1, 2020. It does not mandate that face coverings be worn state wide. The Surgeon General of the United States Jerome Adams stated that wearing masks if you’re not a healthcare provider can actually increase your risk of contracting and spreading the coronavirus. "Folks who don’t know how to wear them tend to touch their faces a lot and can actually increase the spread." This is from Business Insider magazine. The senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security Amesh Adija, MD says "there’s no situation in which a face mask might provide increased protection to the general public even during air travel." The US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar before a House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday stated, If it’s not fitted right you’re going to fumble with it, you’re going to be touching your face and this is the number one way you’re going to get the disease,is unclean hands touching your face."
You have just lost me as a shopper with your insane policy.
