Wore my mask today since I have a mild cold and had to go to a preschool where there could be immune compromised kiddos for work
So sad it’s come to this
I called my State Asssembly rep, Al Taylor, whose office said they were completely surprised and confused by the mask ban and shared my concerns (we talked about the measles outbreak and I shared that a mask ban would endanger me + my family & friends). It’s vile.
Will you just ignore a black Woman pleading out for help before I do something I can’t come back from? Don’t wait until I’m dead to care. Can’t say I didn’t ask for help first 🥺⬇️
@andykimnj.bsky.social @replamonica.bsky.social Can we make sure we do NOT ban masks in our state? This is horrible for everyone. It’s going to kill people.
No, it's because protestors are wearing masks and the surveillance state is having trouble identifying them via facial recognition technology to crack down on protest and dissent.
I called and left a message with her office, letting her know that as a small business person when I am called upon to attend meetings in New York City. I will not be able to do that if I cannot wear a mask due to my chronic health condition. Maybe an economic argument will resonate with her.
No, she doesn't want *protestors* to wear masks. Because masks provide anonymity. So that you won't be caught by facial-recognition surveillance & tracked down & get in trouble.
Couldn't get an answer, but left an incredulous message that, while I am not a resident of the state of NY, the rest of my family is, & as someone who is immunosuppressed, this ban would make visiting my family, as well as entering the state for business or pleasure purposes, actively dangerous.
jesus christ. i'm in ny state and my parents and i are still masking/wiping groceries and mail and packages because my mom has an immune deficiency and also we just don't want to get sick, with anything. none of us have had covid or any other transmissable illnesses, since covid started.

I can verify whatever needed!

I suppose I could Google this …
We got much bigger fish to fry.
