Oh! Sorry to info dump on you but COVID is my special interest 😁 There’s still many benefits to masking even if you’re testing! 1. False negatives are common, especially if you’re vaxxed bc it takes longer for viral load to rise! - ThreadSky

2. Masking prevents you from getting infected, breaking the chain of transmission!

3. Masking helps other disabled folks feel more comfortable — they won’t know that you’re testing or that you’re not contagious

As I'm someone who still masks every single day, you're preaching to the choir. I am high risk for COVID and have been isolated to my home for years. This is the 1 conference that requires COVID testing to attend meaning I have a chance to not mask and can feel somewhat safe for once. Thanks tho!

I would also say, it's best not to assume someone's life circumstances based on one post. I understand the need for advocacy but as a disabled person who has been deeply affected by COVID it stings to has someone assume I don't mask based on the ONE event I get to attend a year 😮‍💨🫠

Oh sorry! I didn’t think I was assuming since I asked you specifically about the conference! Be safe out there :) I think points 1-3 totally still apply even if there is testing though. I just thought you’d be interested since your bio talks about accessibility!
