Masks. It's that simple.

Drawing on internet conspiracy theories (some of which actually say masks INCREASE the virus spread), most people in public are NOT wearing masks. This is ridiculous. As a community we need to work to slow the spike in cases we are seeing. We NEED a mask order, period. If anyone makes threats after a business requires a mask, they should be escorted from the business. The idea that people will wear a mask if you suggest it does not work here. It's so bad that several friends from the coasts asked me if the attached image came from Oklahoma.

Precautionary Masks in Public Spaces

I’m originally from the east coast, and have several friends and family members who are immuno-compromised. Studies have shown that both wearing masks and socially distancing in public spaces help stop the spread of COVID-19. I believe we owe it to each other and our immune-compromised loved ones/acquaintances to take every precaution, even when it inconveniences us.

PLEASE mandate masks on July 6th.

I really hope that the City of Stillwater moves during the July 6th meeting to mandate the wearing of face masks when in public. The science is clear, this should not be a debate anymore. Here’s our chance, it’s either we mandate masks now or accept an explosion of COVID-19 cases within our community, an overwhelmed healthcare system, and ultimately unnecessary and avoidable deaths. #StillwaterStrong

Please require face coverings for the protection of everyone!

No mask mandate

How about letting citizens decide for themselves? The American Journal of Medicine says that masks do not work. Get rid of the nanny state. Your fears do not override our constitutional rights and liberties.
