Masks in March of 2020 vs 2022 are kind of different. What is "Trivial" to you isn't to everybody... my covid-vaccinated ESL 5 year old has to cover their face & learn from a covid-vaccinated teacher who's face is covered all day. My child's speech, social & emotional learning isn't trivial to me.

I should have said 'trivial for most people'. I am not referring to people who can't wear masks in public spaces for legitimate reasons.

But who decides which reasons are "legitimate" and which are not?

It's not just ESL folks. It's everyone they talk too also.

Masks are a burden wherever people. speak.
