Everyone is at risk of Long COVID and other serious health issues from COVID-19. And lots of people don’t have paid sick days or the ability to take time off from work, caretaking, school or more if they get sick. EVERYONE has a right to wear a mask. #NoNYMaskBan - ThreadSky

Hell you should be able to wear a mask if you just wanna avoid getting the common cold or seasonal allergies. Mask bans are idiotic.

I know at least two people who are struggling with different forms of Long Covid, reported as very much not-fun.

Like Carrie says - I’m accessorized! It’s just a part of my outfit. How are they going to police such a stupid law?! It’s part of my religious beliefs. It’s in honor of my dead mother. My husband will beat me if I don’t wear it. Etc etc etc.

And upstate, we have ~6 months of winter, so this is extra-double nonsense.

I have long covid. Expensive drug is keeping daily migraines at bay. Not pretty.

Sooooo…if you get surgery, the surgeon shouldnt be wearing a mask, right?

reneeliana.bsky.social•53 days ago

My quality of life has improved tremendously since I stopped getting sick & being plagued with allergies by wearing a mask. Why does everyone want to be sick & want everyone else to be sick? Eugenics sucks! 🖕

texasvulcan.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why would they want to ban masks? Are people wearing them just to stay anonymous?

boune3gen.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm very lucky that my Long COVID symptoms begin and end with a decreased sensitivity to smells. So many others have it far worse

On the other hand, could the NY mask ban be wielded against anonymized ICE agents who kidnap students while covering their faces to avoid identification?

justice-sinclair.bsky.social•53 days ago

The same crowd that was crying about mask mandates is now wanting to ban masks. It was never about freedom.

Why? While the pandemic wasn’t exactly my favorite time, I appreciate the normalcy of wearing one. If I hear people around me coughing or sneezing I throw it on. Esp w the cuts on science, NIH, CDC, long covid studies, etc. of course I always have one on my person & work from home

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yep, one cough or sneeze heard nearby means the face mask is donned. Works for surgery and other close medical treatment so why not for members of the public? Fingers-crossed, so far, so good. Plus vaccination against the flu and the COVID-19 booster helps.

I just tested positive yesterday. Trust me, folks…you WANT me wearing a mask if I have to go out! Fortunately I don’t have to. This time is SO much nastier than when I had it a bit over 2 years ago.

mamawisehearted.bsky.social•53 days ago

I wear a mask because I'm the only one in my small family who's able to work, run errands, cook, clean & generally keep the house running. If I go down, we're all screwed.
Husband has multiple chronic health problems. Our 19 yo got long-covid in Sept '21 & can't stand long enough to even shower.😢

parents4health.bsky.social•53 days ago

Geez. I hope docs/ someone can help your son. That's horrible.

taniaspencer.bsky.social•53 days ago

So sorry, Nancy ❤️‍🩹

paranormalhunter.bsky.social•53 days ago

Only Gestapo kidnappers get to wear masks.

intlwarriorqueen.bsky.social•53 days ago

We need to keep it that way. Period.
