Mask up … or what?
Cautiously optimistic about the vaccine news.
It’s not going to get to the people who need it very fast. So:
We need to help those struggling without food, shelter, employment, healthcare. We need to release people from unjust regulations, rent, incarceration.
To be honest I’m sick of telling people to mask up and socially distance. “Should” people do it? Sure, all things being equal. When was the last time things were equal? For anyone? I’m seeing construction workers. Think mask wearing is incentivized? I’m seeing homeless. Ditto.
Baltimore issued an order requiring (!) mask wearing outside (!). As a friend said, it’s (a) silly (b) unenforceable (c) an excuse to harass POC. So excuse me if I’m not out in the media lecturing people to #MaskUp. Yes, masks. Important. How about money?
