You need face masks almost anywhere these days. Without them you are kit allowed to enter stores, offices or restaurants. So we all need them, there is no way around it. Which doesn't mean we need to buy them. Face masks can easily made at home out of old clothes. One good thing from making masks yourself is that you can wash them at home and reuse them. The cheap hospital masks can't usually be washed and have to been thrown away eventually. A home made mask from cotton can be washed by 60C+ to kill the virus.

Such has been a very small problem in my part of the USA. However, part of the answer that few people are acting on is to form Private Membership Associations (PMAs).

A PMA is outside the jurisdiction of standard governmental control. There are 70 strong Supreme Court cases that say so, and Amendments 1 and 4 virtually state it. In other words, no masks required if the PMA agrees with this idea.

We can add farms and stores and restaurants to the PMA, and we won't need strict licensing in any of them... if we need licensing at all. Those people who want to follow PMA freedom, will have to sign up and become members. Those who do, simply won't.

If government wants to enforce mask rules in PMAs, the courts can be used to require the government people to provide proof that there really is a Covid virus, etc., that is a danger to people within the PMA, and without. So far, Covid proof is so difficult to come by that it might be non-existent. Everything Covid is based on hearsay and assumptions. If they can't prove the danger, they have no case.
