Hey! Heard about what's going on in Honduras lately? I bet you haven't seen it on the news! Why? Cause the socialists are running the place, and they're popular. Right now, they've got a PUBLIC HEALTH MASK MANDATE going on! We CAN have nice things. #WearAMask #maskup #CovidIsNotOver #socialismhttps://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/honduras-mandates-face-masks-again-respiratory-illnesses-spike-2025-07-25/

At the NY college I currently attend, they have been having High School seniors touring daily this week. Almost ALL of them were carrying masks and wearing them indoors.
Multiple groups, many different schools.
With Covid on the slow rise in NY for the anticipated summer wave, my Public Health pride burst a button.

Why is it so hard for some people not to take such a simple precaution?

I was quoted in this Teen Vogue article about mask bans and the harm they pose for the disability community.

This is the kind of inclusive journalism Teen Vogue has been doing for years.

If Bezos purchases them, it’ll be the end to stories about disability, trans rights, immigrant rights etc:

New goddess idea: She's an earth goddess of the new age who's domain is spinning and weaving, but specifically spinning and weaving gigantic structural steel cables for construction and other industrial purposes Her skin is steel grey and hard to the touch and her hair is like long dredlocks of woven steel. She laughs at shitty architecture deigns that will fall apart if actually built and protects well-made bridges and buildings she likes. She might warn you of unforeseen danger if you aways wear your proper PPE.

Okay now what do I name her

A patient at UC San Diego received a letter threatening to have their care discontinued if they continued to request staff wear N95s.

The letter calls this behaviour “disruptive”

Covid isn’t over. An N95 is one of the best ways to protect yourself.

It’s not disruptive to fight for your health.

Letter from UC San Diego. Patient details are redacted. Text reads    Health and your doctor are committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for our patients, staff, and physicians. Disruptive, abusive, and/or threatening behavior negatively impacts our ability to maintain the therapeutic environment that is so important to both patient and staff well-being. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with written notification of our concerns with reports we've recently received about your behavior during visits at with your provider, support staff, and Practice Manager. Specifically, we received reports that on 5/16/2025, 5/15/2025, 4/22/2025, 4/15/2025, 3/27/2025, 3/25/2025, 3/20/2025 you repeatedly requested that staff wear N95 masks prior to your arrival and during your appointment. On 5/16/2025 you were informed that although we cannot guarantee that staff will be masked before your arrival we are accommodating and would wear a mask if asked. Our policy is to mask when requested but a requirement of N95 masking is outside of our policy. Your recent behavior is not acceptable and a violation of UCSD Health's policies. Please note that continued disruptive behavior may result in further action up to and including discontinuation of your healthcare at UC San Diego Health and its affiliated clinics. Moving forward, we expect that you will be courteous and respectful to the staff, providers, and patients in our clinic. If you are unsatisfied with UCSDH's method
