I’ve stopped telling non-CC folks I’ll unmask when there’s a sterilizing vaccine and instead say I’ll mask forever. 1. It cuts the conversation short 2. I don’t know when or if a sterilizing vaccine will happen 3. It doesn’t give them an out of: he’ll unmask just like us some day

It's official: Mask ban in Nassau County, New York passes along party lines, 12-0 (7 abstentions). It makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor (with unclear health and religious exceptions) and gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.

BREAKING: The Nassau County legislature has passed a mask ban. Here's what you need to know about the bill and your rights:

I am continuing to add studies, articles, videos and conversations to my Covid files, but not on these archived Twitter threads. Bookmark my site above. ✊😷❤️

I'm stunned by how bored people who think the pandemic is over look. If I thought it was over, I would be bouncing off the walls, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Being the lone masker is like being at the beach before the tsunami, making for the hills, while everyone is rushing to video the tide disappearing. Going to be a long, exasperating autumn, winter. Look after your health, future. Avoid #Covid. 'Mild' outside, vascular inside.

In the same way that the non-CC lie to themselves about SARS2, I wonder what lies I’m telling myself to get thru this pandemic. I assume most ppl are misguided until I hear them say sth eugenicist. If most really are eugenicists, I don’t want to know. I’m not ready for that yet.

Incredibly, this tweet is still up.

This plays in a loop in my head: How do the ppl around me not notice that I never get sick! Because they are self-absorbed. If they weren’t, they’d be masking. Yes, but still, how can they not notice! …

A silver lining to getting lifesaving information about 😷 on Twitter instead of from a government agency is that I know exactly the individual person I owe my avoidance of SARS2 to and am forever grateful to her.

Planning to go on this road trip sometime in the next 6 months. If you’re along this route and would like to meet for a quick chat (outdoors + N95 masked + 12-foot distanced), DM me, or like this tweet and I’ll DM you.

An underdiscussed aspect of all of this is the disrespect toward the people who built society. When a bridge is allowed to fall into disrepair, it's disrespectful to the people who sacrificed to build it. Same for the destruction of public health, erosion of democracy, etc.

When I'd get into someone's car, I used to trust that they took protecting my life seriously. I'm guessing that was also a lie.

Let us show the "you-have-to-live-your-life"rs that we are free in every way that doesn't involve catching the virus. x.com/JavierThaine/s…

I went on a 😷 safe girl’s trip last month! We drove to southwest CO to camp & hike. We tested with Plus Life day 1 & 5 & we’re already on the same page about masking in general. It was a wonderful adventure!!! #CovidIsntOver
