Topic: New York State requiring masks in public, starting on Friday - page 2. (Read 315 times)
The government should be implementing guidelines and recommendations, not mandates. Any mandates in regard to this situation are not within their powers under the constitution, and are simply a way to train the chattel property to obey commands, regardless of their legal powers to do so. This is just a tool for power hungry people to dictate how people live their lives. That said, wearing masks is probably a good idea, but that doesn't mean the government should, or does have the authority to mandate it.
the best thing is to just make your own with a piece of cloth / shirt / etc.
Options for people who are all thumbs when it comes to sewing:
1) Use a stapler. May need some cardboard under the fabric so that staples don't get ripped out.
2) Buy a mask on Etsy - not particularly cheap or quick since it's manual labor + shipping but you're supporting the economy.
3) Or just use a scarf or anything really that you can wrap around your face.
Good call, way too late. Unfortunately the CDC flipflopping with its recommendations and the shortage of proper masks has made a huge mess of this. How the fuck we can make a $1000 iPhone for everyone but not a $10 pack of disposable masks is beyond me.
I agree with this being the right call though, best way to limit the spread.
I'm assuming the lack of production is because there never really was a demand for this sort of thing. While this is a horrible thing to happen to the country and the world, as many are going to die. The good thing that is going to come out of this is that the government should invest in having equipment in reserves for this sort of thing. Pretty much me pointing back to the Bill Gates talk on pandemics (https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_the_next_outbreak_we_re_not_ready?language=dz) which was right after the Ebola crisis about how we weren't ready.
Would be great if NY could be providing them to people who can't have them or something like that, though I guess the best thing is to just make your own with a piece of cloth / shirt / etc.

Maybe the title is a bit misleading, but NY Gov Cuomo has ordered that everyone in NY when in public (when unable to follow social distancing guidelines) must wear a mask. This is going to be pretty common on public transportation, grocery stores, some work environments, etc.
NY is getting stricter and stricter with their measures, for good reason, as they're the state that has been hit the hardest when it comes to the coronavirus. Let me know what you guys think about this.
