It occurs to me thought, that since its been decided a business counts as a person for religious freedom, that now I can go, 'But its against my religion to let people in here without a mask.'

Probably. I wonder what they're saying if someone said, "Oh, you don't want to overturn it, then?".
Or if they're in a state which had passed laws to circumvent it, whether that could be used against them.

More about Georgia -- charts that seem to show a sharp decrease in the number of cases in that state are deliberately deceptive -- laughably so.

"reasonable Accommodation" does not mean anything you want. The best response is "To protect your health and the health of our other customers, we invite you to use our curbside delivery option."

Smart businesses would retool to this reality (maybe offering more nocontact at home services) than try to beat their heads against a wall.

I'm on Best Buy's mailing list because I have bought stuff from them. They emailed me about their re-opening plans. Their "reopening" in Georgia consists of having to get an appointment and wearing a mask in the store. Staff will be wearing masks and gloves. They will do no-contact checkout and wipe down stuff you touched. Previously they were only doing curbside pickup or delivery after you order online. So nowhere near back to "normal".

I don't get the bruhaha over masks. Let's say there is absolutely no benefit to wearing masks. But, if they give people a small sense of security as they go out to do things like grocery shop or whatever they need to do - then what's the fucking problem?

Because there are idiots out there who equate having to wear a mask with being a sheeple bowing to government control, to having their rights and "freedumbs" taken away.

I support reopening the economy, but I also support doing things like wearing masks, the marks on the floors of the grocery store so you aren't standing too close together in line, limiting the number of people allowed in the store at one time, etc.... And for God's sake wash your hands!

Yes, ma'am!

For some reason I was reading how polio was/is transmitted, and I was like, "Seriously, WTF? You mean to tell me that polio could have been a big nothing burger if people would have just washed their fucking hands???!!!???"

And for some reason a friend of ours sent me a picture of her infected finger - she cut it working in the garden and it got infected and she had to get it lanced. I was like why didn't you wash it and put alcohol and Neosporin on it right away.... she was like you sound like my husband. Okay this person is a server at a favorite restaurant of ours. That's actually how we met her. Now, I'm kind of feeling squeamish about her handling my food when we reopen.

Right, there is this conception out there that reopening will mean revisiting 2019 procedures and everyone will forget 2020. Nope. Since procedures will have to change to emulate 2019 why even try? A good example is disney. They are doing all sorts of contortions to get stuff partly back to where they were before. Instead they could lean more on animation and their streaming service.
