Leslie wears a mask 🇵🇸

this piece is good for empathetically highlighting the reasons some people have for taking covid precautions. i'm frustrated, however, that it seems to premise this one the idea that covid precautions are *exclusively* the realm of the immunocompromised, and everyone else is like. fine.

Nassau County, NY Makes Masking Illegal - Why Medical Exemptions Aren't the Answer Defendants of mask bans point to medical exemptions as proof that disabled people have nothing to worry about. They're wrong. A look at why bans are ableist, discriminatory and dangerous.

The arrest of Luigi Mangione has prompted NYC Mayor Eric Adams to once again say he supports a mask ban.

If you stopped masking - please mask up now. We can’t afford to miss what may be one of our last opportunities to normalize masks as a public health tool.

Today NYC Mayor Eric Adams said he hoped recent events would accelerate implementation of a mask ban.

Reminder: There is no evidence that mask bans stop crime. Mask bans make cities more unsafe because preventing people from wearing masks increases the spread of diseases.

Sick Kids - the leading children’s hospital in Canada - have not returned to mandatory masking despite most other facilities in Toronto doing so.

Some folks have shared my masks in healthcare article with patient relations - feel free to send!

Let’s get masks BACK to Sick Kids

“If your trauma is so severe that you can’t mask for a vulnerable patient – or worse, you lash out at a patient for masking – then you need to carefully assess whether you should be in a patient-facing role.”

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
