keep talking....
...in the meantime, the State Health Department will have the statutory authority to CLOSE and/or FINE businesses that are not in compliance with the order.
This won't be an issue where the local County Sheriff gets to decide which orders he wants to enforce or not; it will be left to DOH field personnel to enforce this.
I would posit that the odds are that they will, and it will only take one or two temporary closures of non-compliant businesses for the business community to get with the program. (Some of you may remember the resistance to the "No Smoking" orders that were put into effect first in California and then later here in Washington.)
So keep talking.
Let us know how that works out for you.

Whatever, the virus will probably magically go away after the November Elections.

There is no rational argument that can diswade such a position.

well... when you've completely exhausted your supply of coherent or cogent arguments, "whatever" is the certain signal there's nothing left other than the ability to make some noise.

So we've come full circle to this being a hoax?

Would agree that from a perspective of the rules or law, it's not a good analogy as one (masks) speaks to all and one (DUI) speaks to only those who have been drinking. However, from a personal decision and common decency perspective, I think it's a fairly accurate analogy - both wearing a mask and not driving under the influence are personal decisions we make (at the possible expense of some minor inconvenience) that show compassion, consideration, and common decency for others.

Not quite, I would say more like, over hyped. Everyone seems to take the statistics at face value and believe everything they are told about virus. Some do not.

Sincere query here: 
Just for purposes of having our cards on the table, could you say, briefly, the parts you believe and what you don't? It would help to understand your POV.

Seems like everyone doing their part to wear a mask would improve chances of getting back on track relative to other countries prior to November.

Yes. I understand that, and you understand that, but The Stupid cannot grasp the concept.
Over and over I see statements like these on facebook groups.
Only two people have died (in Okanogan County) so it can't be all that bad of a virus. We're not even sure that they died from Covid because______ said that one was a drug addict and one was already dying.
It is just like getting the flu, no problem with that.
We might as well all get it and increase herd immunity (or toughen up our immune systems--there is no mention of anybody dying or permanently disabled by these people).
I don't know anybody who has it therefore it does not exist.
Only people with symptoms should have to wear a mask.
You can show these folks the science and they'll simply dismiss it as "fake". So, it's going to be a very long process due to the resistance of The Stupid.
I didn't even go into the political conspiracies about the virus.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities
