โThere are two of them. Thereโs always two themโฆโ
Maybe another way to look at it is: youโre not alone.
Stay masked and stay healthy, friends.
Amazing that this review paper from 2021 just became my most cited paper of my 30+ yr career. I am honored to have been the lead first co-corresponding author with @ChiaWang8. COVID is indeed airborne--as are most other respiratory viruses. @ucsandiego.bsky.social

A more interesting article would be to ask those people to articulate why they stopped. I donโt believe that has been confronted and put into words. Is society ready to confront the continued trauma and psychic damage? There was no parade. No finale. Just a slow fade into hyper-individualism.
Of those who masked at one point, they had a reason for starting and a reason for stopping.
If the reason for starting was to prevent contracting and spreading a novel airborne illness capable of disability and even death, there is no rational reason to stop.
Wear a mask to protect yourself and others.
Contaminated air is linked to dementia, stroke, asthma, heart disease & pandemics
Clean air isnโt a luxury, itโs public health
Together with Smart Air UK, weโre helping schools & vulnerable homes breathe easier this October

Clean air is a human right!
People signing the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air at the UN
Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.
Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!
โWe are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.โ
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
Wear a mask, friends. #MaskUp
If you want to resist, wear a mask
If you care about future generations, wear a mask
If you care about your long term health, wear a mask
If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask
Your resistance effort must be inclusive of everyone โฆ and that includes disabled people
Masking is community care
#MaskUp
Thing is, subclinicalโor โunder the hoodโ or invisibleโdamage from repeat COVID infections wonโt be apparent untilโฆitโs apparent. That could be a few years from now. #MaskUp and protect yourselfโregardless of how few others are.
Using HEPA filters to clean the air isn't just about limiting disease transmission. It's about improving overall health in a number of ways. In this interesting study they show that HEPA can be used to lower blood pressure: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The right to mask is a human right. #MaskUp โ
PSA: Thereโs a difference between wearing a mask or respirator & wearing a gaiter or face covering to disguise identity. Itโs important to discern & communicate this nuance because if you donโt, you might encourage elected officials to ban masks for everyone, which would be a public health disaster.
Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.
Wear a mask tomorrow.
This new info on Covid.gov is categorically false btw and will sadly result in more illness & death. Masks work!
Aren't you tired of being sick and tired?
COVID-19 isn't just another cold. It can cause lasting harm even without symptoms. We have the power to break this cycle. Wearing a high-quality mask in public drastically reduces infections, protecting you and your community.
โPro-mask,
Anti-brain damage.โ

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.
Re mask bans: sunglasses conceal people's identity more effectively than masks do, but everyone would object to a sunglasses ban.
The difference is that sunglasses are completely normalized accessibility devices, while masks have been pathologized as part of the total erasure of the pandemic.
The last thing you need right now is to be suffering the consequences of preventable sickness.
Breathe clean air.
Wear a mask.
