1/5 @danjlevy said it best: “Imagine wearing a mask not as an infringement on your freedom, but rather the simplest, easiest act of kindness that you can do in a day...” #HelpOthers #COVID19 #KindnessMatters

2/5 Key point - while you may not personally feel at risk from #COVID19, the reality is that if you are infected you could be responsible for starting a new chain of transmission causing life threatening illness for others. #ProtecttheVulnerable

3/5 This is even more important because some people may not be able to wear a face covering safely, including people who may be at risk of severe outcomes from #COVID19. #ProtecttheVulnerable #HelpOthers #DontJudge

4/5 If you can wear a mask safely, this is where YOU come in to #ProtecttheVulnerable, like people who experience difficulty breathing & are advised not to wear a mask that could exacerbate their condition. #COVID19 #DontJudge #KindnessMatters

5/5 or others, for whom a mask or face covering is not recommended because they would have difficulty removing it on their own, like children < 2 years of age & people suffering an illness/disability that makes safe removal difficult. #COVID19 #DontJudge
