Ill Annoy: Local Group Asks You To ''Tip Your Mask''
|
Brought to you by something called "The Village of a Thousand Elders".
So much for the wisdom of "elders".
[WANDTV] All Illinois shoppers out and about during the pandemic are asked to tip their masks in order to avoid confusion and anxiety between the public and business owners.
The "Tip Your Mask" initiative is a coordinated effort involving multiple Illinois police departments. With store owners concerned about people hiding their faces and potential crimes being committed, people are asked to slightly lower their mask and briefly show their faces when they enter a store to let employees know they are simply there to shop.
People are asked to wash their hands and sanitize as soon as they can after tipping their masks.
Gov. JB Pritzker is mandating Illinoisans wear face masks in public beginning May 1. The CDC currently recommends people do this.
Reverend Wonder Harris, founder of the Village of A Thousand Elders, told NBC affiliate KWQC business owners in East Moline told him it would ease their minds if people would tip their masks and show they were just in the store to buy things.
"If people were to commit a crime, they wouldn't tip the mask because they'd be caught on camera," Harris said.
In comments to KWQC, Pastor Darryl Thompson said he and other minorities might feel concerns about racial bias and could be hesitant to wear a face mask in public. He told his son to only wear a mask once he's inside of a business due to fears of what other people might think about a black man wearing a mask.
