'It's a hoax' say California's anti-mask proponentsOrange County Sheriff Don Barnes has said he won't enforce California's statewide mask order including in cities such as Huntington Beach, seen here on July 16, 2020. "It's a hoax," the 51-year-old told AFP as he exited a clothing store maskless, referring to a state rule that people in most public places wear face coverings. "It's my constitutional, God-given right not to wear a mask," said Davey, who declined to give his last name. She said she initially tried to convince friends to wear masks but eventually gave up. Complicating the face mask issue, Wood acknowledged, is the mixed messaging that has come from local, state and particularly the federal government.
