The decision to wear face masks has gone from a potential life-or-death choice to a political one
A security guard in Flint Michigan was shot and killed, for not allowing a person without a mask into a store?!!
Washington (CNN)Face masks, it seems, have become a new fault line in America.
The decision to wear or avoid them in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic signals whether people have chosen to adhere to public-health guidelines that have taken on political dimensions.
On April 30, some 400 to 700 protesters descended on the Michigan Capitol building to demonstrate against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, which was issued in March following the declaration of a state of emergency that was set to expire at the end of the day. (She later signed executive orders that put in place a new state of emergency through May 28.)
Conspicuously, most weren't wearing face masks.
Speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday, Whitmer said that the protesters, whom President Donald Trump sided with, dredged up "some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country."
"The Confederate flags and nooses, the swastikas, the, you know, behavior that you've seen in all of the clips, is not representative of who we are in Michigan. And the fact of the matter is, I mean, we're in a global pandemic," she said, adding that "we need to listen to the expertise and our institutions of higher learning and our health system and make decisions that are going to protect the lives of everyone."

I personally plan on wearing a mask till the pandemic is deemed over by the WHO!
I was in a super market yesterday, in the self checkout lane and this woman came up behind me put some things on the conveyor belt and she was not wearing a mask and was within six feet of me?!! I told her to move back and take your stuff with you, she compiled. I can see a lot of violence ahead with people invading your space and not wearing a masks?!!
