A woman who refused to wear a face mask is now demanding to be given half of the more than $100,000 (around P5 million) donated to a Starbucks barista whom she tried to shame for not serving her in San Diego, California. California requires residents to wear face masks in most indoor settings and outdoors when social distancing is not possible. Cowan has already given Gutierrez $100,000 in cash and shared the video of their meeting on YouTube on July 7. Explaining her said health conditions, Gilles told the outlet: “One of them I get shortness of breath, dizziness and it messes with the heartbeat. They are real doctors.”Gilles, an anti-vaxxer, also believes that face masks are ineffective against the COVID-19 pandemic, contrary to advice from health experts, as per NBC-owned KNSD on July 11.
