Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) says Americans have ‘no
constitutional right’ to refuse wearing a mask during the
COVID-19 pandemic, likening it to refusing to wear a seat belt or
follow the speed limit.
“It’s sort of like saying I have a constitutional
right to drive drunk, I have a constitutional right to not
wear a seat belt, or to yell ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater,
or to not follow the speed limit,” said Hogan during a
coronavirus press briefing reported by the
Washington Times.
“We’re talking about a quarter of a million people dying
already — more than the Korean War, the Gulf War, and the Vietnam
War added together,” he continued, adding “Which part
don’t you understand? You wear the mask. There’s no
constitutional right to walk around without a mask. We did
it in 1918, I don’t know why we can’t do it
now.”
(There was actually an
anti-Mask league of San Francisco during the 1918 pandemic to
protest mandatory masks – a law which lasted one month before
being repealed.)

According to Hogan, Maryland State Police will deploy
“High Visibility Compliance Units,” which will have a
special focus on bars, restaurants and other venues in order to
ensure they remain compliant with state regulations surrounding the
holidays.

MD Police will also expand their 24/7 COVID-19
Prevention Hotline, which will allow people to snitch on
each other for ‘unsafe activities’ and public health order
violations, according to the Times.
