This viral tweet presents the pro mask side of the mask debate that is taking place in the US. Many anti mask rallies and protests have taken place in recent days to protest health mandates requiring masks in public to prevent virus spread. On the other hand, many people support the mask mandates and argue the anti maskers are the reason for the spike in cases. Here we have a service employ who is required to wear a mask for her job highlighting that wearing a mask to the grocery store is easier than wearing a mask for eight hours like all service workers must do.
I chose to include this tweet because it presents the pro mask side of the mask debate. Unlike other countries, the US has had large anti mask and anti health guidelines protests from those on the right wing who feel their rights are being violated. I felt this was quite a uniquely American thing, and so included it in the archive.
