I don't like it, but wearing a mask isn't that big of a deal. Actually, if a trade-off for moving forward with opening the economy is some type of a mask requirement, I'll take it.
Is the order unconstitutional? Perhaps, but last time I checked, you can't walk around naked in public and the requirement to wear clothing isn't in the constitution either. Same with private businesses. Seems the sign "No shoes, no shirt...no service" has been around a while. Is adding a mask requirement to that really that much of a reach?
We should focus our attention on orders that are actually negatively impacting the livelihood of our fellow citizens. There are thousands of people unemployed and small businesses are going out of business all over the place. Nobody seems to care about the orders that currently are and have been in place to keep those folks down.
Forcing masks perpetuates the fear that makes all the other unconstitutional mandates possible, and it reinforces acceptance of ignoring the Constitution. It keeps the sheep compliant and enables big government to trample on us even more - if we go along with it.
Also, cloth masks are a health risk - probably more of a risk than a help. N95 is the only mask that would actually be any good for anything, and then only if fitted and worn properly.
The widespread use of cloth masks by healthcare workers may actually put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections and their global use should be discouraged, according to a UNSW study.... The study found respiratory infection was much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks.
People can wear all the masks they want to wear, by their own choosing. But government mandates to do so are BS.
We should always have the freedom of choice period!!!

The amount of short sidedness is appalling especially in a hunting forum, first it’s mask, then it’s mandated vaccines, then it’s mandated travel ban, then it’s mandated gun confiscation.... have some of y’all learned nothing from history!
The mask order takes effect Friday. As of Thursday, 176 of the state’s 254 counties had reported more 20 or more confirmed COVID-19 cases and include most of the state's population. Counties with fewer than 20 cover mostly rural areas.
