The main concern with wearing a face mask, is to prevent incubation stage human carriers from sharing their exhaled air supply with people in close proximity of their person. If you dont understand that, you are not prepared to discuss this topic.
Exemptions are common place for any mandated legal application. There is no reason people should be arguing about wearing a mask, you're still harassing someone if you in anyway disturb them from going about their day, medical mandate or not, you cant tell others what to do if you're not in enforcement.
Shop patrons have been in a long quarrel about what scenarios require wearing a mask and what dont. In Canada where I reside, from coast to coast you can see deviance in the status quo on masks. In Alberta, just last night I had to put a mask on to prevent an episode with senior citizens who over reacted to me desiring to purchase coffee without a mask.
I refuse to let the internet satisfy itself with the mind control device on my face. I wore this out of respect for the retired age customers at a local coffee shop who were essentially blocking the entrance to the shop waiting for me to put a mask on... I did so out of respect for my elders, no other reason.
To be clear, there is no mandated mask in central Alberta yet, so this was harassment from the senior citizens and infringement of my right to travel freely through the doors, of a licensed Canadian business. The frustration from this encounter lead me down a rabbit whole about medical mask mandates and medical equipment.
I discovered https://www.maskexemption.ca which depicts Canadian Law and the lacking Scientific Evidence available about incubation stages of covid-19, largely due to China's manipulation of information prior to January 19th, 2020.
The Mask Exemption Website deeply describes the main reasons you are exempt from any mandate, not just medical mandates.
The Top Reasons You Are Exempt from Face Masks in Canada
- Creed
- Under age 2
- Underlying Medical Condition (includes difficulty breathing)
If you are a shop keeper and need help with a mask exemption, please refer to "This is a no questions policy, you do not need Proof of the exemption, the law doesnt not state a reason must be provided".
In fact you would be violating the human rights of the customer to not honor the FACE MASK EXEMPTION regardless of the nature of the exemptions claimant. It's not up to the managers and shop keepers to maintain the mandates status when potential violations of human rights could be committed. You have a oath to serve the public and should focus on committing to the quality of service you would want ANY PATRON to experience at your business MASK OR NO MASK.
The focus of experienced medical professionals and legal professionals on this matter are focused on DESCALATION, so you are interfering with their authority of you are escalating any tension over the topic of masks... Like the Senior Citizens who violated my rights when I went for coffee last night...
Thank you for caring about the true application of law, not being a mandated slave in a country with a 94.6% recovery rate of covid-19 cases.
