Oh please. The government (state or federal) is not requiring masks. Any requirement now is enacted by individual organizations or institutions. I've seen several hospitals institute mask requirements for employees which is not crazy in a healthcare setting - my PCP still requires patients to wear them in common areas. Which colleges are requiring masks? School districts? Private (non-healthcare) employers?

It does not matter if its businesses or the government it's wrong. It does not matter if it's a private institution. If your mask works you should not worry if others are weAring them or not.

You could not have said it better. Covering your breathing holes is not natural.
