I believe employers should provide them free of charge. Local governments should make them available to those who need them - especially the poor who don't have the money to do it.

Yes if a person cannot afford to buy them amongst other things.

I believe the answer is yes!  I'm surprised they have not supplied masks from the beginning of the pandemic.  At first, we couldn't find masks but now they are in the stores but since they are making it mandatory I believe they should supply them.

Ideally, yes. I don't have much faith in government to do it, though. The War on Drugs and protecting our borders has been a major failure.

Yes. Then there are no excuses for people to not wear them.

Although I keep hearing people complain that they can't breathe when their masks are on. I am pretty sure that we are all dealing with this. Mine causes me to cough due to my allergies. I spray my mask with peppermint essential oil. It does help out quite a bit.
