COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

That’s my point here.

Indecency laws have been defended and maintained for centuries now, upheld in court, but suddenly a temporary mask ordinance to prevent the spread of an incurable disease is the bridge too far and a violation of fundamental human rights and free expression?

Ok, I’m down, let’s hear the first principles arguments. I need all the entertainment I can get on my stay-at-home breaks.

I mean, I'm not disagreeing with you.

I'm just saying I don't think decency laws should stand, but they are on much less solid ground than laws directed at protecting public health.

And I'm going to do something that is against my nature. I'm going to admit I don't know something. What is a "first principles argument"?
