Many states have business refusing to close their doors and are fighting back.
Whether or not people BELIEVE they have to or don't have to follow an order, they still have to until it is overturned or they face penalties
For the exact same reason parents choose to not vaccinate their children. Because they don't believe the info being told to them. So if someone does not believe wearing a mask will protect them or others why wear it?
And those parents can't enroll their children into registered daycares or public schools until they get their children vaccinated in NYS.
And just because someone doesn't BELIEVE that masks won't protect doesn't change the FACTS that masks actually do help slow the spread, along with washing hands, social distancing and sanitizing. Other countries that have already taken these measures are having success with slowing this down. The places that have been ignoring or not quicly enforcing the measures are struggling.
