    Everyone should be required to wear a mask in order to protect our communities.

    First this, then what??? After waiting 12 weeks to get unemployment because my job shut down at the end of March, and going to bed hungry more times than I can count and constantly worrying about paying my rent, now I should be fined if I go out in public spaces because I don't agree with the ordinance and fear giving up this right and any that will be tacked onto this?

    "surges" of infection NOT BASED ON REAL PEOPLE TESTING POSITIVE but based on manipulated COMPUTER MODELS INFLATING NUMBERS UP + DOWN AT SPECIFIC TIMES FOR ADVANCING AN anti-human, anti-freedom of choice POLITICAL AGENDA

    Masks should remain a personal choice ..not a forced law or mandate! It infringes on personal freedoms and this is a very slippery slope of this is passed.

    I oppose this with every ounce of my being. if this is passed i will not be supporting the milwaukee economy and will take my money elsewhere. there is absolutely no scientific evidence that face masks prevent or protect anyone against COVID 19 or any other virus. the CDC and WHO have both released statements and documents on on this. the only thing masks do is inhibit our ability to breathe oxygen that is vital for our immune and lung function (which is extremely important especially with a respiratory virus). wearing a mask and breathing in C02 causes extreme health risks for everyone.

    We can require people to wear seat belts why can’t we require them to wear masks? The science proves it can save lives..... I don’t understand how you are infringing on anyone’s freedom. They can stay home if they don’t want to wear one. The rest of us we are essential workers deserve to be safe. We can’t stay home.

    As a service industry worker, I value the health Of my patrons, and take sanitary steps to ensure that I do not compromise their health. I expect the same from them. A mask mandate would allow all of us to respect and value each other’s health, and help Slowly spread of this virus which is wreaking so much havoc on our society. If we want to continue to claim that we live in a civilized world, we must take steps to value and protect each persons health and humanity. Vanity, religion, and scientific denial should not play a part in the greater good of everyone’s overall health.

    Not even the animals in the woods are required to wear masks... And we are human beings made in the image and likeness of God. If we truly wish to be safe, then we must get back to living.

    I am opposed to mandatory wearing of face masks. Face Mask are more harmful to people than Covid. Forcing people to wear a face mask is against our Constitution. Please vote against this terrible legislation.

    First of all, the boxes these masks come in explicitly stated that they do not protect anyone from the coronavirus. The cloth masks people are wearing do not stop virus particles from entering, they restrict oxygen to hazardous levels, and create a false sense of security. This current virus has a 99% survival rate. Of course positive cases are going up, there is more testing, but that does not mean we are in danger. Mandating masks with a virus that is scientifically shown to be no worse than the seasonal flu is ludacris. Instead teach to boost immunie function via nutrition and lifestyle.

    I am against requiring face masks for all. Let us get back to normal. We should be free to mask or not. Stop spreading fear.

    This is Unconstitutional and a direct violation of our rights. Several places in Oklahoma have reversed their mask requirements for a variety of reasons. There is no need for this nonsense.

    Wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience for someone in a pandemic. It’s been proven that wearing a mask does not have any Heath risks but is actually beneficial for the community as a whole. Masks should be required.

    Countless studies have proven that wearing masks is the most effective method of stopping the spread of COVID-19. Mask should be mandated - especially indoors - until COVID-19 has been eradicated or a vaccine is discovered.

    I believe in science. I also believe a minor inconvenience is worth saving lives. Wearing a mask in public spaces is a simple thing we can all do to protect the vulnerable in our greater community and lower COVID-19 transmission so we can all get back to a normal society sooner.
