SMC Health Department to require face masks for all

[Ken King]

Come on man! Get some nose clips (yeah the ones you use in a pool). Grab the top of your tee shirt; pull over your mouth and nose. Affix the nose clip to your nose over the tee shirt. Instant mask.

Edit: don't forget eye protection, nobody is talking about eye protection when we know the virus can enter through your eyes. Weed eater glasses work.

I was lucky enough to require seeing a "Wound Specialist" last week. They provided me with a fresh N95 and I will wear it without guilt. I'll feel silly as all get out, but I refuse to feel guilty. It looks like the "protection" they made us wear in high school sports, only on your face..

We haven't been ORDERED to wear masks yet. I won't wear one as they won't protect crap.

I have to go shopping for Mommy Dearest tomorrow. She wrote a list when I let her out of the closet this morning. If I wait until Wednesday, won't I be required to wear one by law?

By Law or By Authoritarian Decree?

I just ordered a mask online from a someone on Etsy, in case I am required to wear one in the grocery stores or when I go back to work. It has flamingos on it.

 

[LightRoasted]

If I may ...

Thinking of getting a clean pair of Haines and simulating a long and wide sh*t stain showing out and wearing that as a mask. Or, just go in without and when asked, say my mask is invisible.

By Law or By Authoritarian Decree?

[Ken King]

Authoritarian Decree it is. Note that the authority is from COMAR and not the Annotated Code.

Got socks? If you don't wash them first, that helps even more to deter the virus.

So how does this work?
They cited the Maryland Code in that Order by the Health Officer of St. Mary's County as Maryland Code 10.06.01.06 - but it only says that he "direct the following measures to be implemented" .

I can't find any place in this section of the Code where this is enforceable and by which agency it will be enforced.

The medical officer is not in law enforcement.

Sec. 10.06.01.06. General Control Measures, Chapter 10.06.01. Communicable Diseases and Related Conditions of Public Health Importance, Subtitle 06. DISEASES, Part 1., Title 10. Maryland Department of Health, Code of Maryland Regulations

Maryland State agency regulations are compiled in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR). The Maryland Register is an official publication of the State of Maryland, The Register serves as the temporary supplement to the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR).

That is from the Code of Maryland Regulations not that legal statutes of the state, known as Maryland Annotated Code. These regulations are created to advise the state agencies how they are to comply with the law. The basics of these ORDERS is that they are way overbroad in their application where those not ill or presenting a threat are being required to perform unnecessary acts. Which in essence is a flagrant civil rights violation.

Right - so the Health Officer is directing these measures be taken - but is law enforcement required to enforce these measures by arresting those who do not comply with them?
