North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too

"People wearing a mask during protests in #NorthCarolina could face extra penalties if arrested, under proposed legislation that critics say could make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against #COVID19 or for other health reasons.
"Republicans supporters say the legislation, which passed its first committee Tuesday, was prompted in part by the recent wave of #protests on universities nationwide — including at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill — against Israel’s war in #Gaza.
"GOP Sen. Buck Newton brushed off concerns that getting rid of #pandemic-era exemptions on masks was overly broad, saying he expects authorities to use 'good common sense.'
"'We didn’t see Granny getting arrested in the Walmart pre-COVID,' Newton said as he presented the bill Tuesday in the state Senate Judiciary Committee.
"While the main thrust of the bill enhances penalties for people wearing a mask during a crime or intentionally blocking traffic during #protests, most concerns centered on the health and safety exemption. According to the bill’s summary, people could no longer wear masks in public for medical reasons."

Another day visiting on-grid land, to the #dentist in Stonehouse #Gloucestershire and again I was the only person wearing a mask.
It's as easy as putting my glasses on and I never feel it is inconvenient. It's a simple sensible habit like washing hands, which I do several times every day.
For me wearing a mask is a no-brainer, but for the no-brainers 🤷♂️ #MaskWearing
"SINGAPORE: The wearing of masks on public transport as well as some healthcare and residential care settings will no longer be mandatory from Monday (Feb 13), when Singapore also steps down its disease alert to its lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic started."

Really informative thread on the Cochrane review of masking & handwashing.
"Knowing if/how/why people comply is important. Tools are only useful if people use them. And if there are ways to make them easier to use, we’d benefit from knowing that, too."
Why we need to engage more behavioral scientists (broadest sense of the term) in the effort to improve collective #maskwearing. 1/

After a 3 year hiatus, I received a letter yesterday inviting me to attend Eye Clinic later this month at a local general hospital. Given the situation with flu, COVID-19, scarlet fever, etc., I’m astonished that mask-wearing is not mentioned at all. The only warnings are that non-attendance will result in discharge and automated reminder alerts will be sent. 😡

Currently, no plans in the UK to introduce Covid19 testing or requirements for arrivals into the UK. #DejaVu #WaitAndSee
With the incidence of flu, a variety of respiratory illnesses in the UK and Covid admissions to hospitals increasing, wouldn't some action be a Good Thing? #MaskWearing was shown to reduce transmission of respiratory infections - not only Covid.
A bit of levity (but not lax!) on this night, in our support for #Science #WorkersRights #MaskWearing #NHS supporting, #Climate mitigating #Women supporting #BlackLivesMatter fighting and #Immigrant welcoming hopes and dreams. This 6 year old still believes and is studiously watching #NoradSantaTracker for his #London arrival. #peace to you all!
