An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

I've seen a few cruel posts on Twitter / X recently, and, as a result, I would remind you all of the following:
If you're trying to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart.
Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone!
When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people?
In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed.
Police aren't protecting us, no one is.
