Connecticut’s Final Cut, I Hope

People in Connecticut who claim they can’t wear a mask due to a medical condition must be able to produce documentation to prove it, the governor’s office has announced.

The new rule was formalized in an executive order signed Friday by Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz. Gov. Ned Lamont earlier in the week had said the new regulation would be coming.

The documentation “need not name or describe the condition that qualifies the person for the exemption,” according to the order, but it states individuals need to be able to provide “written documentation that the person is qualified for the exemption from a licensed medical provider, the Department of Developmental Services or other state agency that provides or supports services for people with emotional, intellectual or physical disabilities.”

Keep squeezing the serfs, rulers. See how far you can push them before you spark a revolution.
