[Lekooks] Masks at stores

I am deeply concerned by the number of people to whom I get exposed who aren't wearing masks at stores.  Overwhelmingly, masks are the primary deterrent to getting COVID-19, and there are MANY people I see in these stores who would be at high risk of death if they caught it.
Restaurants have had "No shirt, No shoes, No service" signs in their windows for decades, and nobody bats an eye about that.  But entering a restaurant without these has a trivial effect on others' health compared to walking around in a pandemic without a mask.
Nobody has the "right" to expose others to a potentially fatal disease.

I would ask everyone to please contact the grocery stores, barbers/beauty shops, and other businesses you frequent to ask if they have a "No Mask, No Entry" policy.  If not, you could ask if they at least have certain hours a week when they enforce it.  If they don't at least do that, please tell them that not only can you no longer use their store, but you're going to tell all your friends not to do so, as well.  

It won't take many people to do this before store owners (or hopefully at least the majority of them) will realize that they need to take an action on this.  If all of us in the UU Community do it, it could have a dramatic effect.

Thank you all for your consideration,Mike
