#maskmandate — Public Fediverse posts

Activist Mr. Amazing audits LVMPD, seeking a complaint form. Tensions rise over mask refusal and ID demands, drawing multiple officers. Is this a violation of rights?

@luckytran If we debated universal healthcare with the same intensity as we debated masks and mandates, it would already be a reality

Several lawsuits followed, including one filed in 2020 by the #conservative Upper Midwest #Law Ctr alleging #TimWalz misinterpreted the #Minnesota Emergency Management Act & illegally bypassed state lawmakers….

The case, which focused on the #COVID #pandemic #MaskMandate, eventually made its way to the MN Supreme Court, which sent it back to the MN Court of Appeals. In July 2023, that court ruled that #Walz indeed had the authority.👏🏻

Here are several of #TimWalz's accomplishments — w/an unusual number of legislative successes scored in March 2023 alone — & setbacks during his tenure as governor.

Walz's use of #EmergencyPowers during the #pandemic — including the institution of a #MaskMandate, business #shutdowns & a #hotline number established to report people violating #SocialDistancing guidelines — outraged his critics.

@publicvoit boosted it for extended range, since I did not attend #37C3 in part due to lack of a #MaskMandate!

WA #maskmandate announced:
SURGICAL masks to be worn in all "high risk" areas.

I'm an old nurse. Someone, please make it make sense.

@CCC I did consider something for release on #37C3 but since #CovidIsNotOver and you don't seem willing to do the absolute minimum aka. #KeepMasksOn and have a #MaskMandate, that'll be a big nope.

Which is really sad indeed...

So, remember that lawsuit parents filed against Lake Central schools in 2021 claiming their mask mandate was "unconstitutional?" Well, it's over now and did not go well for the plaintiffs.

Why do I still #WearTheMask in public transport, at the movies, in the theatre? Even though the #MaskMandate is over? There is a reason. http://www.dorktower.com/2022/04/18/who-is-that-masked-man-dork-tower-18-04-22/

I appreciate this rather extensive and honest review of the effectiveness of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In short, "It's complicated". Those who appreciate a data-driven, comprehensive review would derive good information from this article.

@ChristosArgyrop @maggiejk @Pat

Yes, reports of persistence are concerning.

I think I have seen a few ... But I think this is the recent one you are mentioning?

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/path.6035

Post mortem analysis of 27 patients an average of >3 months since last viral positivity.

"Despite apparent virological remission, lung pathology was similar to that observed in acute COVID-19 individuals, including micro- and macro-vascular thrombosis (67% of cases), vasculitis (24%), squamous metaplasia of the respiratory epithelium (30%), frequent cytological abnormalities and syncytia (67%), and the presence of dysmorphic features in the bronchial cartilage (44%)."

"SARS-CoV-2 antigens were not detected in the respiratory epithelium. In contrast, antibodies against both spike and nucleocapsid revealed the frequent (70%) infection of bronchial cartilage chondrocytes and para-bronchial gland epithelial cells."

This and other additional evidence of long term persistence and immune effects is useful and reminds us of the importance of the precautionary principle.

But it is not necessary to the argument: we should control #Covid anyway, should never have stopped trying to limit community transmission, because of the known disruption, disability and death is it still causing acutely. We've had evidence enough for years.

IHME estimates US Covid infections at staggering 1.25 million a day

This would have been halved if there had been a mask mandate a month ago

https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=infections-testing&tab=trend&test=infections

In the US, 600 people a day are dying of Covid.

For people who don't (yet) know anyone who died from Covid, here is a heart-breaking thread about the death of Greg Foley, a chemical engineer and assistant professor.

He describes various levels of respiratory support as he experienced them. May he rest in peace.
