It’s not too late to start masking.
You don’t have to do it alone. You won’t be the lone masker.
There’s an engaged Covid cautious and disability community who will help you.
There’s local mask blocs who provide respirators to those who can’t afford them.

They’ve restricted COVID testing & reporting… so it’s safe to say those numbers are an undercount (and they don’t include the thousands being disabled)

It’s funny how this kind of article never gets written when, say, an American member of the “pro-Israel movement” murders a 6 year old child of Palestinian heritage at the outset of a conflict that would see the world’s most moral army slaughter more than 16,000 children with utter impunity
The killings of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington on Wednesday cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the U.S. and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.

"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."
