"Officials must address these disparities [of mask mandates] by adopting an educational rather than punitive approach to implementation."
An exploration of how masks can affect, but also protect, the vulnerable. #Masks4Canada Thanks @abresge! https://www.ottawamatters.com/national-news/mandatory-mask-policies-raise-accessibility-concerns-for-vulnerable-populations-2534749

"[Masks should be accessible] so that we don't prevent ppl from interacting w/ the world around them just because they don't have $/capability to buy/create a mask." @BogochIsaac, suggesting distribution of masks+community outreach programs to educate on how to use them properly.

"Those who are most vulnerable need the rest of us to mask, but also need us to have an overall perspective of goodwill, caring for ourselves, not bullying other ppl (&) assuming that other ppl have the best intent."
@Hanigsberg
(Don't assume why someone isn't wearing a mask!)

If there are additional outbreaks [& lockdowns, due to lack of mask wearing], that will disproportionately impact vulnerable members of society, such as those who don't have a safe place to self-isolate or those who are dependent on public transportation. https://twitter.com/jkwan_md/status/1278144189151281153
