Fully vaccinated and doubled masked teacher with a face shield, and very concerned for my safety if school reopens. | She/Her | #BLM | LGBTQ+

@GovKathyHochul Thank you to everyone who has worn a mask for the past 2 years. I will continue to mask up to protect the immunocompromised and to slow the spread and flatten the curve.

@EatSleepMask Sorry but I really don't think it's appropriate to post unmasked pictures of children during a deadly pandemic when we are trying to normalize the masking of toddlers in order to save lives. Also, this post is offensive to BIPOC who need to be represented more.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

I still mask. I double mask, and triple mask. No matter what happens, I am following The Science. Stay safe everyone.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

If you are going to remove mask requirements, then you need to make sure that the only people gathering are fully vaccinated + boosted. This isn't controversial. It's Science.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

For the people who are fully boosted and continuing wearing a mask, you will get through this. For the people who aren't, you are looking at a long harsh next few months of death and suffering for yourselves, your loved ones, and the hospitals that you will soon overwhelm.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

I truly can't understand how the institution that is supposed to advise and protect us is sending the message that people do not need to wear a mask when we are still in the middle of a deadly pandemic.

Walensky on mask wearing
“It may be painless, it may be easy, but its inconvenient, it’s annoying and it reminds us that we’re in the middle of a pandemic.”

FYI pretending we’re not in the middle of a pandemic won’t make it disappear

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

The only way that children are going to survive now that mask mandates are ending in school, is by getting vaccinated and getting boosted. Please consider getting your child boosted if you have not done so already. We need as many people as boosted as possible.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

If you are immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable, please know that I will continue to wear my mask for you, and so will my children, for at least the next 2 years, to keep you safe and to flatten the curve.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

THIS! Do not gather. Do not take off your mask. We are still in a pandemic.

[ChristinaD WEAR AN FFP2 MASK AS COVID IS AIRBORNE @ChristinaDub79]

Mixing with people you do know is also a bad idea, most are getting infected after being around family/friends, it’s a case of having to think that everyone around you has covid, which is why we NEED to continue to wear masks properly

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

My non-binary son is also terrified. He doesn't know what life is like without a mask. He knows that masks protect him and others, and now he is exposed. I will be triple masking him + face shield + anal swab testing before and after school.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

New CDC guidance is irresponsible. As someone who has worn 2+ masks since March of 2020, I am forever astonished at how this country fails to put in the collective effort needed to stop the spread and save lives during a deadly global pandemic.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Under new CDC guidelines, masks are listed as an "individual prevention behavior."

And CDC advises you to "talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask."

Wrong. Masks are a collective measure, most effective when we all wear them to protect each other.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

I am so scared of going into school next week without a mask mandate in place. How are we going to stay safe? There are many unvaccinated children who will be maskless. I have begun practicing my anal swab COVID tests on my children, as I plan to require this for my students.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

@GovKathyHochul Not enough people are getting boosted. We need to keep the mask mandate in place. We are still in a pandemic.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

While the CDC decides to let the immunocompromised die of exposure to COVID19 because of no more mask requirements, I will be triple masking and continuing to test my family daily for the virus. We must stay vigilant and keep working to stop the spread. #FollowTheScience

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

Over 3000 people are dying of Covid daily in the US. Pediatric deaths are surging. We aren’t testing, & very little data is reported in order to support the improvement illusion. There is no plan beyond mass disability & death. Get in line & wait your turn to die for Capitalism.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

@freshsweetea This pandemic is far from over. It will never be over.

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

Please pray for all the people in Ukraine right now, who are getting potentially exposed to COVID. We must wait to gather. It's Science. #FollowTheScience #StayHome #SaveLives

[Very Concerned COVID Teacher @MasksAreScience]

@MeetJess Thank you. I am so nervous about the mitigation requirements being lifted when we are still in the middle of a deadly pandemic. People are going to die because of these reckless policy decisions - worse, it will likely be the most vulnerable among us who pay the price.

[Jess @MeetJess]

Closing our eyes and wishing COVID away won’t work.
Pretending life is normal again also won’t work.
You know what will ? Reducing transmission, cleaning the air, wearing a mask and getting fully vaccinated if/when you can
