Mask Questions in North Square
This 311 user writes, “What is the point in wearing your mask over your chin? Literally every one of these 6 men except one has their mask over their chin. Literally, people walking by have their mask over their chins and not their nose and mouth. Are we trying to end the spread or not? My entire business is shut down because of this but these clowns can stand outside without their mask? My business will go out of business after this summer and no one takes COVID19 serious, I’m just flabbergasted right now is all.”

People really have nothing better to do than photograph people not wearing masks? Pathetic. Get a Netflix account.
I feel sorry for the 311 users business but he is a disgrace. Imagine taking a picture of adults just socializing with one another?
People are allowed to talk to each other. Not against the law. This is getting crazy.
If you are talking to someone (or about 6 ft) then you should wear a mask to be respectful to the rest of us. It’s just common sense.
No. I will not wear a mask to talk to friends and family. Especially when I am outside. I don’t care who takes pictures and puts them on 311.
put the phone down and do some yard work, or check on a neighbor……..
I think I can see the point. Business is shut down while people are still getting corona virus. Can’t go back to work until people stop getting corona virus. People without masks in public are likely to either get or spread the virus. So these guys aren’t helping the situation. We’ve got to realize that we won’t stop this virus, like we can’t stop the regular flu viruses. We had a flu epidemic a few years ago, but the city didn’t shut down. The issue, we will always have corona virus. We can’t wait for it to go away, it won’t. so allow the businesses to open, and everyone can protect themselves or not. Their choice.
