I had to run some errands yesterday and way too many masks.

  • People outside walking their dogs with masks (Crocker Park, upscale idiot village, but I needed some new Ray-Bans).

  • Library, mask required, wut? I'm going to call the city tomorrow.

  • YMCA, masks required per signage, but no one said anything to me. I got a lot of stink eye looks from other members. The guy at the desk didn't seem to give any shits.

  • Heinen's, I'd say 80 percent of the people were wearing masks, all employees were. At least no one gave me the stink eye like at YMCA.

Anyways. I thought we were done with this shit. Why are people still doing this!!!

Lots of people in my town (not in Ohio but oh well) still wearing them too. A couple businesses have signs up saying "Masks recommended. Optional for fully vaccinated". Nobody's checking though.

If they do ask, politely remind them that requesting medical information is a HIPPA violation, and that repeated violations could wind up with fines and/or jail time for the asker.

I told the one greeter who asked that it was none of his fucking business and walked past. There's no mask order here anymore and even when there was one the police didn't enforce it. Some store owners are now bemoaning that they now have to be the "mask police" on their own again but they instantly cave when someone ignores them.

You can do that as well, but use the law against them. It's much more fun.

It really isn't a HIPPA violation for them to ask. HIPPA prevents a third party from disclosing your information. They can ask and you can willingly share. The correct answer is to tell them to fuck off.

Now I've seen it stated that they can refuse you service for that, but idk, that seems sketchy.

Technically yes, but HIPPA also prohibits them from receiving your medical information. They're not providing health care, so they don't need it.
