Some residents are revolting against rules forcing them to wear masks in public, creating new coronavirus dangers
In one Missouri salon, no
The Orange County battle began in May, when then-county health officer Dr. Nichole Quick issued an order mandating that county residents and visitors wear cloth face coverings while in a public place, at work or visiting a business where they are unable to stay six feet apart. “There’s always going to be community infection going on,” Supervisor Don Wagner said. “There’s always flu infection going on. Are you telling us masks, in your professional opinion, are going to be necessary until the end of time or until there’s a vaccine or what?”
“On behalf of the California Medical Assn., it’s our opinion that mandatory face masking is appropriate and Orange County should’ve backed her up. Our position is that this is being driven by ignorance and politics instead of science,” Aizuss said. He also criticized the Board of Supervisors for not backing up her health orders.
Experts rejected the unfounded charge expressed by opponents of mandatory masks that face coverings pose a danger to people’s oxygen levels. “No, there’s nothing to that. There’s all sorts of conspiracy theories about low oxygen and high CO2 levels,” said Dr. Otto Yang, an infectious diseases expert at UCLA. “It’s really not an issue.”
