1. La Mascarilla como Defensa Vital y Acto de Solidaridad.
El uso de mascarillas, especialmente respiradores N95, es defendido como una medida crucial para la protección personal contra enfermedades como COVID-19, gripe y RSV, y para prevenir el daño crónico a la salud. Para muchos, es un acto de supervivencia y respeto hacia la comunidad, especialmente hacia aquellos con condiciones crónicas o inmunocomprometidas.
- If you are able to mask and still not masking, you are putting me and chronically ill folx like me in danger every day. You are also risking your own health.
- I wear a mask because i dont need another health project to deal with.
- The best thing you can do for your long term and short term health is not get covid.
- I mask because i have my own health issues but also for my mother whose dementia gives her massive risk of hospitalization following every covid infection she gets because assholes like him refuse to sacrifice a tiny bit of comfort.
2. Críticas y Abandono de la Salud Pública Institucional.
Existe una profunda desilusión con las agencias de salud pública y los gobiernos, acusados de desmantelar las medidas preventivas y de ofrecer orientación inadecuada. Se señala que la necesidad de que los ciudadanos usen respiradores en espacios públicos es una prueba del fracaso institucional para garantizar entornos saludables.
- Public health has failed us. Masking is the best thing we can do for individual health and to prevent spreading airborne viruses to others.
- Surgical masks are to respirators what the typewriter was to the modern computer, said finkel, who was chief regulatory official at the us occupational safety and health administration between 1995 and 200 obsolete.
- It is absolutely criminal that someone has to ask reddit for health advice that should be the responsibility of government departments.
- It is weird to be wearing a respirator, not because everyone else isnt, but because the job of public health is to insure public places are safe. Covidisnotover.
3. Estigma, Burla y la Invasión de la Privacidad Sanitaria.
Los individuos que continúan usando mascarillas enfrentan burla, juicio y hostilidad, incluso por parte de figuras públicas (como Jon Stewart), lo que se percibe como un acto cruel y capacitista. La gente se ve obligada a defender su elección de salud o a proteger su información médica privada de preguntas invasivas.
- Jon stewart, you are encouraging the abuse i get for protecting my and my familys health.
- First of all, asking people why they are masking is invasive behavior. No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved ones health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid covid, which is the only way to prevent long covid.
- Sniggering at people with fragile health. Pathetic. If you roll your eyes when you see someone masking, share a little joke with your buddies, please just stop a damn second and wonder what its like to be health-compromised in year 7 of an airborne pandemic.
- Masks are a scarlet letter. What a shame some people are so deluded to think they need them. Your health is your problem even though air is communal. Society doesnt owe you shit.
4. Riesgos Laborales y la Precariedad de la Salud Personal.
El riesgo de infección es particularmente alto para trabajadores esenciales, incluidos los de atención médica, educación y comercio minorista, quienes a menudo carecen de apoyo adecuado (como baja por enfermedad remunerada) y son expuestos repetidamente. La preocupación por el Long COVID y el daño acumulativo de las reinfecciones impulsa la cautela individual.
- I have several autoimmune conditions, including lupus, and have had covid 5 times - each time potentially life-threatening and leaving behind more physiological damage which symptoms i have to live with for the rest of my life.
- I have to ask!! my coworker who also works for public health!! to put on a mask when she was openly coughing and sounded super congested.
- Workers in jobs classified as high risk for covid exposure had a 44 higher likelihood of developing long covid than those in low-risk occupations.
- I am not going to take care of myself and so should you!!
