Disability Rights New York has filed a class action lawsuit against Nassau County seeking an injunction to stop the enforcement of mask bans.
This is exactly the kind of action we need to see happen against discriminatory & ableist mask bans.
Law enforcement should not be the arbiter of who is “sick enough” to legally wear a mask. Many disabilities are invisible - and police are NOT doctors.
For more on the Nassau County mask ban and why it’s discriminatory - as well as why everyone (disabled or not) should be allowed to wear a mask - read my article here: disabledginger.com/p/nassau-co…

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.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)

COVID made Noah Lyles collapse from exhaustion after running a 200-meter race. It's a reflection of our values
We keep pretending that the pandemic is done and over, but it keeps knocking us off our feetSalon.com
Further, it's laughable that the pushback on Mask Bans is not focusing on the fact that every last one of us is vulnerable, that COVID is a ticking multitropic timebomb that exists to rob us of our lives, chronically more so than acutely, and that everyone qualifies for an Exemption from Banning Masks by virtue of being alive.
Nassau County can lick my ass. But only after they put on an N95 and do a couple of RATs first. Same with any piece of shit cop enforcing it.
But yall, don't worry.
COVID's over, because Musk needs a new space yacht or two.
Clownshow, anyone who is live action roleplaying "everything is normal, definitely not 14,000,000 years deviant from our hominin ecological niche climatologically, nor is COVID an actual thing anymore".
Gemäß @RKI@social.bund.de waren in den letzten Sommern um diese Zeit nie so viele Menschen gleichzeitig krank wie jetzt. Die #Corona-Inzidenz wird auf 600 geschätzt (von Hobbymodellierern höher - irgendwo zwischen 800 und 1.300).
Sämtliche Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen wurden im März 2022 beendet. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass Journalist*innen nicht immer noch von "Nachholeffekten" schreiben, sondern mal endlich hinterfragen, ob wir ohne Infektionsschutz wirklich besser dran sind.
I urge everyone to read this post from Lucky Tran about a proposed mask ban in Nassau County that would see people fined $1000 for wearing a mask. As soon as North Carolina passed their mask ban - we began seeing other cities and states follow suit.
Mask bans are wrong. Period. We are in an airborne pandemic where one of our best and only tools remains a well fitted respirator. The idea that people should have to carry around a medical exemption (which not everyone can obtain) or face fines and/or arrest is ableist and discriminatory. These bans force disabled people out of society because they don’t allow us to exist safely in public spaces - and they will increase the spread of Covid.
Call, email, post… speak out against these bans. Let lawmakers know you won’t visit any city or state that doesn’t allow people to wear a medical device for personal protection and community care.

This is really worrying. There's a bill in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, that has a good chance of passing due to GOP majority, that would fine people $1,000 for wearing a mask. https://www.nbcnewyork.Med-Mastodon
The proposed mask ban in North Carolina will turn people who are trying to protect their health (and the health of others) into criminals.
While the action of the government doesn’t surprise me - the response of the public does. I expected most people to find this type of law appalling - and instead I’m seeing people celebrating what I consider to be eugenics in action.
I wrote about the proposed bill, the public response and the disability community’s right to survive:

What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because #CovidIsNotOver? In the case of #PyConUS, the conference sells out.
Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.
Well done @pycon fosstodon.org/@pycon/112445571…

Do take the time to read this brilliant piece.
It contains excellent explanations on the spread of COVID mutations/variants, why vaccination alone isn't the answer, why we should continue to mask and negative communications.

Does the public understand that "variant" means "vaccine resistant"?
Getting boosted is critical because the virus is changing. Other forms of mitigation are critical to slow the rate of change.Julia Doubleday (The Gauntlet)
a friend and I were talking about COVID precautions and they just sent me this paper which appears to raise concerns about safety and efficacy of wearing masks for COVID - does anyone here know anything about this paper + what conclusions should be drawn from it? I feel like there's probably *something* wrong with it given it very much is the consensus in communities I'm in (that seem to pay lots of attention to the literature) that wearing masks is a good precaution to take against COVID, but I'm not sure how to respond. is there a good analysis of the paper somewhere or anything like that?

Ich möchte auch einen umfassenden "gesellschaftlichen Aufarbeitungsprozess".
Warum wurden wir so inkonsequent geschützt? Warum wurde so konsequent aufgegeben? Warum wurde die Intensität der Forschung reduziert? Warum haben wir immernoch nichts gelernt für den Alltag? Warum kein Recht auf Schutz?
Ich bin wütend. Und ich vermute, keine dieser Fragen werden ernsthaft gestellt.

Julia Doubleday (The Gauntlet) takes on that horrendous article on NPR:
"NPR’s decision to platform a piece about the difficulty of navigating life with a spouse who can’t dine indoors, instead of a piece about the difficulty of navigating a society that has made dining indoors unsafe for vulnerable groups, is just that- a decision, and a political one. It is part of an ongoing effort to cast those who cannot play along with the “back to normal” fantasy- those who are being harmed and killed by it- as weird, paranoid, crazy, annoying, and “the problem.”
Long COVID is a major thorn in the side of the “back to normal” approach to COVID. While some people (appear) to recover well from COVID, many others suffer long-term post-COVID health problems."

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, who identified a chemical tweak to messenger RNA that laid the foundation for vaccines against #Covid19, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology/ Medicine.
As this photo shows, both scientists are wearing masks and NOT relying on the "vax and relax".

When you take a taxi in Tokyo, it's now pretty standard to have an air quality monitor inside.
The drivers all mask and there's plexiglass separating the driver and the passengers.
You may argue about the effectiveness of each of these measures, but it's clear that this is a society responding together and adapting to a new reality.
This is living with the virus: trying to mitigate it's harm. Instead of pretending it does not exist.
Went to a donut shop in Japan today.
They had a CO2 monitor on the counter and a UV light on, plus circulating air through the ventilation system.
Also all the staff and most of the customers were masked. 😷
It's really not that hard and if a donut shop can do it we can certainly do it at least in schools and hospitals.
This is more what I'd think "Live with the virus" looks like. What we're doing feels more like "Pretend there is no virus".
This is NOT an article from The Onion...
"Several people who attended the Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference have tested positive for COVID-19,” a CDC branch chief wrote in an email to staff on Friday.
Certain groups are pulling out of developing #COVID vaccines now that the "COVID opportunity" is "receding".
They are abandoning everything they promised. They aren't updating vaccines, they've stopped working on new vaccine development, they won't pay for testing & monitoring.
Businesses promised hybrid then forced everyone back full time. Businesses promised remote then forced hybrid. They're trying to force recession to take back power.
We need to unionize everything.
"I guess we should retire the expression "avoid it like the plague" given how little effort people put into avoiding an actual plague."

We'll never fully understand the political agenda that popularized the removal of mask-wearing. It's the least expensive yet most effective way to protect the public.
Mask wearing should never have ended when there is currently over 500 deaths a day.

Pro-tip for #conference vendors & sponsors in the #US:
A social media pic of your booth staff w/smiling unmasked faces does not make me want to drop by during the next break.
A free infection with #COVID, with a chance of long-term injury/disability, is just not the compelling free swag you may think it is.
