Starbucks forbidding employees to mask unless they have a doctors note.
Not everyone can access medical care. Doctors notes aren’t as easy as they seem.
Everyone deserves the right to protect their health. Limiting it only to people who are already sick is bad policy that promotes infection

Stay home when sick
Keep utd on vaccines
Use hepa filters indoors

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic.
The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now.
If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.

They’ve abandoned all sense of self preservation and community care, and lives will continue to be lost because of it.
