Not gonna happen, it’s only going to happen if the government insists, i.e. you get fined/jailed for not doing so.

And then you might as well live in North Korea, this is not what free countries should do IMO.

... or Taiwan or South Korea or Singapore

I wasn't specifically talking about the US, but agree that there are way too many incarcerated there. It's got to be one of the worst countries to be black in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Prisoner_Demographics..... Not even Obama could break the trend :/

In Austria it is mandatory to cover your mouth and nose when inside supermarkets and other buildings accessible to the public. In the Czech republic it is mandatory outside a home as well. Fun fact: it also has one of the most liberal gun laws in Europe.
