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 Politicians get a lot of heat from business owners for 1000's of caught-on-camera crimes made difficult to solve when the perp is wearing a mask to disguise identity.

Perhaps adding a hefty penalty for wearing a mask while committing armed smash-and-grab robberies at shops would help diffuse the urge of politicians from both parties across the country to unmask everyone.

Don't know if it would help, but the status quo is unhealthy for everyone. I had og COVID. I wear a mask out.
