Should masks be required indoors in public spaces?

Yes, masks should be required indoors in public spaces, and many of us are being vigilant about wearing them.  Many businesses with signs on their doors, stating  masks are required, shy away from forcing the issue.  Too many people are running around acting selfishly, and this is extremely disconcerting.  Some local bars & restaurants are not requiring customers wear masks to the tables, and the wait-staff & cooks aren’t wearing masks either; so, conscientious folks are not spending their dollars at these businesses.  In Knox county, Covid-19 outbreaks are rising daily, as are the virus-rates elsewhere in Illinois & other states.  As travelers return home  from Disneyland, camps & other vacation-spots across our nation, we’ll see the infection-rates soar higher, as schools are commanded to reopen.   With nearly 5 million infected in the U.S. and nearly 160,000 dead, Trump told journalist, Jonathan Swan, that this plague “is under control and it will disappear, it is what it is”.
