Breathing condition exception for the muzzle
« on: February 22, 2021, 07:23:41 PM »
This is what the order says in my county:

Quote
I have a breathing condition that makes me unable to wear a mask or face covering. Do I still have to?
No. Persons for whom a face covering would cause impairment due to an existing health condition are exempt from the Board's order.

Does the Board's order require me to disclose my specific condition?
The order prohibits business operators and their employees from asking for specifics or docuмentation if a customer claims an exception for health reasons, or denying admittance or service to that person for not wearing a face covering.
So according to that, you can just claim you have a breathing condition and they can't even demand docuмentation.

Has anyone tried this?

According to what  you quoted, everyone has a breathing condition.
Anything that restricts your full oxygen intake (a mask) causes a breathing condition.

I can't upvote this enough!!!
I'm homebound so I don't go out but I can say that
Father Relyea says he always just puts up his hand and says with confidence, in his New York voice of course,
"Medical Condition"
and they leave him alone.
If a waitress gives him a hard time he asks if they have ever heard of HIPPA laws.  (You aren't allowed to ask what medical conditon.)

Today I decided to refuse to wear the muzzle in the one store that imposes it of all the ones I regularly go to, and as soon as I got in without one, an employee that was there said I have to wear one. I asked why, he said it's the store policy, then I said I've seen other people inside before not wearing one, which is true, he said no not in this store, then I said yes I have seen them before, so he kept saying that if I want to shop there I will have to wear it.

I just turned away and left.

I'm thinking of writing a Google review of the store and blasting the manager for being a dumb sheep. I know he regularly reads and responds to them.

I'm thinking if I should go back another day and actually show them videos of the "health authorities" where they say they don't work and that people without symptoms don't have to wear them anyway and give them a hard time haha.

Or I could also go again and pull the medical condition card. THE LAW says they can't ask for docuмentation, so I'm considering that.

Disputaciones:

Yes!  Do both.

We all should simply put our hand up and say, "Medical condition."

If they pursue it further, which according to the Americans With Disabilities Act they should not do in any way----Harassing people with disabilities or refusing them service--then we should be prepared to show them evidence and make our stand.

Peggy Hall at thehealthyamerican.org has lots of info on how to fight the mask "mandates" which are in no way law!

She successfully fought back in Orange County and give lots of good advice on how to fight this whole thing.
