In what’s becoming a sad sign of the times, a teenage hostess at a Baton Rouge Chili’s was attacked by a group of more than eleven women for enforcing mask regulations. Assaulting an employee enforcing mask regulations is now a felony in Illinois, following a spate of viral videos and news stories of such assaults. It’s only a matter of time before more states create similar rules.

Anyone spotted without a mask in Houston (in a place where masks are required) will get a $250 fine issued by the police, who will be responding to mask-related calls.

McDonald’s requires customers wear masks, making it the latest company to require masks of its patrons. Last week, The Home Depot issued the same order. Recently, the state of Arkansas, CVS, and Target are the latest entities to mandate masks as COVID cases rise. The increase in cases comes largely as young people refuse to wear masks, either for political reasons or because they simply don’t care. Dr. Anthony Fauci issued a plea to young people to wear masks.

Before that, Best Buy, Walmart, and Kroger have all announced that they will require customers to wear masks in the stores. Already, things aren’t going well. An unmasked Florida man (only in 2020 would this sentence make sense) pulled a gun during a confrontation over his lack of face protection.
