@strypey @clacke I'm aware of the psychological issues mask wearing can cause. But it's also something you can get through. This isn't supposed to minimize the effect, it's merely stating that it is treatable. Long COVID is not, not yet.

You cannot compare the two. In particular, because the exact same arguments you raise against masks can be raised for masking. Long COVID sufferers or other immunocompromised folk face the same pressure and exclusion if they wish to participate in life.

So...
