Masks are not just for covid. Many people around the World wear masks when they feel ill for other reasons, and they also use them to counter bad air quality. America is pro-sickness. Having a healthy nation, and actual National Healthcare is almost illegal in the USA, not yet, but close. Republicans just want to control society and make money off of sick people.

Not to mention, for disabled people like me with specific illnesses including long covid, this basically means we can’t leave our homes without severe risk to our health. In essence, another ableist tactic to hide disability.
Yeah I kinda suspect these anti-mask laws are going to be a disability lawsuit bonanza
Republicans are doing everything possible to deny long covid is a thing. They are pushing the NIH to only fund research trying to (wrongly) make it seem like a mental disorder.
That's because they don't want people to know that being a republican is a mental disorder, but we know, we know!
I got strept throat twice last season and both times went to the ER. I'm masking from like October to February.
I can just imagine how awkward dentist appointments are going to be...
I have a cold right now, and I needed to pick up some cough syrup to give me some relief. I wore a mask to prevent my illness from spreading to other people.
We should be normalizing this behaviour.
Do you want a summer cold? No. Me either. Wear a mask when you're sick.

They all get upset about masks, then a Charlottesville or January 6th event happens and then they stay quiet about masks for a while.
Can we ban haircuts next?
shaving should come before haircuts.
Don't you hate pants?
How about when mowing a dusty dry lawn or leaf blowing all those sycamore seeds. Without a mask I choke and cough and quit.
Also, these fucks equating health masks with actual masks used to hide identities is straight bullshit.
Then, we got that one place that carved out an exception for Klan members... Fuck. Fuck these assholes.
How about if I want to paint my house?
You'll huff those paint fumes and ENJOY IT, damn it!! /s
I wonder why it’s the deranged ones that are doing it.
