There are no mask mandates in Alaska.

CNN reported that despite China's high vaccine output, people there are saying they are going too far. Do YOU think there is a too far point?

My opinion is that when the mandates are in conflict with the consensus of evidence and expert opinion, it has gone to far. I gave they hypothetical example of requiring multiple masks. I used a hypothetical example, because I have not seen any actual examples.
nursej22, MSN, RN 3,270 Posts Specializes in Public Health, TB. Has 38 years experience. Aug 27, 2021 A vaccine mandate that extends to people with a medical contraindication goes too far. An employer mandating vaccines with exemptions for medical reasons is not going too far. A mask mandate that has police breaking into people's homes is going too far. A mask mandate for people entering inside businesses is not going too far.

I can just hear the whining now about my answer. No whining here. I 100% agree. What is the point of a mask mandate/face covering when the product used is pretty much useless. Putting a bandana over your face might make you look like a western movie cowboy but it doesn't do a lot to prevent viral spread.
