The reason? They didn't have enough masks.
END. THE. CHARADE.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – As severe storms that produced tornadoes tore through Boaz, Alabama, residents of nearby DeKalb County made their way to nearby storm shelters.
But not all families were allowed inside.
One Crossville family, who would like to stay anonymous, was denied entry because they didn’t have enough face masks.
The recommendation is not a law. Each county and each city makes their own decisions. Some shelters are not open at all. Others are requiring a mask.
“The guy actually opened the door, he motioned, do you have a mask? I held up my mask. I said I have one mask, I can put it on the child. He motioned no and shut the door,” said one woman as she tried to enter the shelter in Crossville.
Left in the pouring rain with a tornado over Boaz, the family ran to their car.
“Actually twice trying to get somewhere, we nearly wrecked. I just wanted to squall all the way home. I had to keep it together, you know?” said the woman.
DeKalb County Emergency Management Agency said the family probably should have been allowed in given the incoming tornado. However, EMA offices do not make those decisions — the municipality makes and enforces the rules.
The woman claims the shelter was not full and she could have maintained a 6-foot distance away from the other people in the shelter.
Crossville Mayor Tera Fortenberry had posted on Facebook, warning the community about the face-covering policy.
Part of the post read: “The storm shelter will OPEN Sunday April 12th at 11am — With the current COVID-19 Virus pandemic — Please try to remain calm and keep your distance as much as possible. YOU ARE ENTERING AT YOUR OWN RISK. Everyone has to wear a mask to be allowed to enter. (Homemade mask, medical masks or a bandana tied to cover your nose and mouth is acceptable.)”
The woman who was denied entry said she did not see the social media post because she does not use Facebook often.

Not everyone has fakebook. I hate the fact that if something is posted the whole world should know about it. Again not everyone has fakebook!

Hopefully he gave a parting STTDB

I wish I had a business I wouldnt let anyone in WITH masks.

It was on all the news websites, Twitter, pretty much everywhere. Sounds like a B otherwise someone would have handed them a shirt to make a mask out of. Why is it so hard for people to intelligent.

This was what I was questioning. They basically said that all you had do cover your mouth and nose in some way. Either she was unreasonably aggressive or, more likely, someone didn't understand the requirements and thought it was fun to wield power they didn't have.
Edited due to bourbon.
Don't judge. I was forced to stay next to my liquor cabinet.
Okay, I refill it as needed so go ahead and judge.

One of the rules was :
She chose not to enter.

Better a family die from a tornado that 1 die from possible CV. Am I doing this right?
Seriously though... isn't it about time that the guy that closed the door on the family was hunted down and finished off by someone one night?

No. Link to where this family died.

Link to where they were spreading the virus.

I did not say they were spreading the virus. I said there was one requirement for admission, which was a pretty loose requirement. They chose not to follow the only rule. This precluded them from being considered for admission.

Why are you attempting to change the subject? The person you responded to didn’t say the family died. That didn’t stop you from asking for a link proving they did.

I am not aware of any study that suggests bandanas are effective in preventing the transmission of a virus

But there is this:
Cloth masks vs Medical masks
Cloth masks vs Medical masks
quote:
Conclusions This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.

Cmon man. Pouring down rain and tornadic activity in the area. A family trying to make it to an emergency shelter probably isn’t thinking about Coronavirus that much. Let’s use a little common sense in this type of situation.
