Mask wearing isn't a luxury, it's health issue

Didn’t Walmart, Home Depot and other stores say that mask were required? Walmart has a person outside the front door, sitting at a table, handing out a free mask to people who don’t have one.

And yet when I go in Walmart with my mask on, about 50% of all of the customers inside Walmart are not wearing a mask. What are they doing with their free mask given out at the front door? Eating them? All the Walmart employees are wearing masks, as they should. If masks are mandatory, then why doesn’t Walmart have people in the store, giving out free masks and asking customers to put on a mask or leave the store?

Come on, folks. Mask wearing is not a luxury, it’s a preventative to help stop this COVID-19 pandemic that we are all subject to by being exposed to by some non- 

thinking people who refuse to wear mask.
