It is clear there is no requirement to divulge your reason for being unable to wear a mask, that would be a clear as day privacy violation.
And no, there is no provision for a business to refuse service. But they are only required to accomodate you, and I'm not sure where that comes down, if a business chose to service those who cannot wear masks by providing curbside service, would that be acceptable, I am not sure.
Honestly, it's unlikely to be a big deal, but it does bug me that there are people in our community who would abuse this, far more than their not wearing masks affects me. I mean, Godwin has been fully invoked, there are numerous people comparing the requirement to wear masks with being a victim of the holocaust. Frankly, it's sickening how absolutely fragile these people are.
It's also interesting to me that they are generally also MAGA idiots. It's scary to see how much Trumpism has infected our society as well, how many of deciples he's managed to brainwash here...truly a scary situation. They fact that he has made masks an issue like this is only the tip of the ice burg. The pandemic will end, but the toxin in our society will remain. Of course, optimistically, I could just assume they're all cleverly disguised twitter bots.
