All these responses miss one thing: The government can't take away your rights no matter what they are. They can only protect your rights and the rights of others.
It is actually unconstitutional for the federal government to require drivers licenses on roads unless those roads cross state lines and then they can only legally enforce it on those that are travelling between states.
That's why each state issues its own drivers license and they are all different.
Laws that require you to wear seat belts are unconstitutional, but the laws that allow arrests of 'reckless' drivers are constitutional.
In the case of wearing a mask, the government would have to prove that you are dangerous to others. So after they arrest you they would give you a covid-19 test and then if you test positive, they could prosecute you for reckless endangerment. If you test negative they have to drop the case.
Of course very few judges and district attorney's actually follow the constitution which is why every one of Trumps 100% legal executive orders are blocked by a judge somewhere.

Here's what people should do practically if you fear covid-19, you wear a mask and take the precautions. That will keep you safe. The rest of us will do what we thing will keep us safe. If someone gets you sick, sue them for reckless endangerment.

Yeah except thats a fake poster doctored from a protester with a My Body My Choice etc. I dare say you can even see the muppet look on the face and the hair of the woman that she is a green or left leaning voter. There is way to much noise in the pixels of the picture around the sign and it has blue bleeding into the white of her jacket.
So anyone bothering to add anything to the arguments presented is barking at the wind just like that girl at Trumps inauguration, you know the one.

Thanks for the ignorant comparison between a privilege and rights.

Hmmm I’m not finding one

What if the government says you must wear a face mask to patronize a business or go into a public building, just as the government says you must have a license to operate a car

What then

Show me where the law was passed that declares I must wear a face mask. There isn't one. Now ask yourself why that is.

You always ask great questions.

In fact, several states already passed laws requiring face masks under certain circumstances (even your dreaded “cloth masks”!), all of them blue, though you could call PA purple.

From this we can conclude that opposition to face masks is political in nature and has nothing to do with rights.

Though feel free to contradict me if you have a constitutional provision or case on point.

Hope this helps.

Check whether you’re traveling to any states this list. Updated as of about 3 weeks ago so it may not be current. As always I encourage you to do your own research.

Unless you just want to flout the law, in which case: go for it!

It’s in character for conservatives these days

Though really: I want you and yours to all survive this, so: no, procure yourself some face masks and wear them.

They may be challenging to find but you should be able to given how much free time and intellectual effort you waste on here arguing against them.
