Nassau County in NY state passed a law this summer https://www.nyclu.org/press-release/nassau-county-mask-ban-signed-into-law YES, there are exceptions for health, religious or cultural reasons BUT they've also used it as probable cause to search someone https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-police-issue-first-face-mask-ban-violation/5741363/ (it doesn't matter that he was found with a knife. My son wears a mask because he thinks his nose is ugly)
I know someone who wears one because a lifetime of depression caused them not to take care of their teeth, and so they don't want to be judged even more poorly for that.
I haven't seen his nose, but I bet it's bold and beautiful. I wish him luck on his mental health journey!
Fuckin' shit-ass Nassau, of course they did.
