UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks.

This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Pre-pandemic laws banning masks from group events were always harmful. We should have learned from the pandemic that we need to do more to normalize public health tools like masks. After seeing so much death and harm that is continuing, it makes no sense to roll back mask laws.

@luckytran Banning masks from group events was always a de facto ban on active cancer patients, transplant recipients, and others on immune suppressing medications participating in public life. Courts should have ruled it an ADA violation long before we had a pandemic that made everyone wear masks. Plus the privacy violation for everyone.
