Coroner Graham Hetrick vents about COVID-19 face mask mandates: ‘It should be a choice’


(since it's not as rigid here, going to just highlight what's important and not the whole article)

Hetrick does keep a mask on hand, but says he refuses to wear one over his nose — and usually keeps it pulled down over his snow-white beard, as well.

Hetrick said he’s kept his mask pulled down even in places like Costco, which became among the first in a growing list of national retailers to mandate mask-wearing. He’s never been refused a purchase, but he has been called out by members of the public, some of whom he calls “mask zealots.”

“It’s a symbol of control, and it’s a symbol of fear,” said Hetrick, who’s not a medical doctor, but a certified medicolegal death investigator and elected county coroner for more than 30 years.

“When we walk into any damn store, it’s not fun anymore: Line up here. Step on that dot. Do you got your mask? Look at people’s posture -- bent over, slumped over. Look at the people driving in a car alone with a mask on. Look at the people jogging with masks on. Now we’re supposed to wear them outside. They’re going to put you out in 80-degree temperatures with a mask on? It has become this zealot religion for some of these people: I’m in such fear of dying; I’m going to refuse to live?”


When the fucking coroner won't wear a mask where the hell are we at?
