This is what it really comes down to. Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over. 🔹COVID is airborne 🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk 🔹Long COVID has no cure 🔹The pandemic isn’t over 🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others Stay informed. Stay safe.

In the first panel, she says “Masks don’t work,” and the man replies “Be honest.” In the second, she says “I don’t want to wear one,” and he again says “Be honest.” In the final panel, she says “I just don’t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,” and the man responds, “Thank you.”

By Gilly @profesh_baby: "Wearing an N95 mask (or better!) is the easiest way to protect yourself and everyone around you. It's an act of solidarity." Source: x.com/profesh_baby...
Illustrated, board-game-style poster about mask-wearing and COVID-19, designed like a Monopoly board with a pale green background, orange borders, and hand-drawn text. In the centre is a large yellow square reading: “WEARING A MASK IS THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE A DIRECT, POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOUR COMMUNITY.” Below it is a smaller card that reads: “NOT WEARING A MASK? IT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO CAUSE DIRECT HARM TO EVERYONE AROUND YOU.” Dice, a house, cards, and game tokens are scattered around the board to reinforce the board-game theme.

Across the top are panels saying “DON’T GET COVID,” “IT BREAKS CHAINS OF INFECTION,” “MASK UP! BECAUSE,” “YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BODY,” and “DON’T SPREAD COVID.” Down the left side are boxes stating “KILLING AND MAIMING OTHERS IS BAD,” “IT PROTECTS EXTRA VULNERABLE GROUPS LIKE KIDS AND THE ELDERLY,” “IT MAKES YOU A MORE EFFECTIVE ALLY TO THOSE IN NEED,” “COVID SPREAD IS CLASS WARFARE,” and “MEDICAL BILLS ARE EXPENSIVE.” The bottom left corner reads “PROTECT OTHERS.”

Along the right side are messages including “IT’S A GOOD DISGUISE AT PROTESTS,” “IT PROTECTS YOU FROM FLU, COLDS, ETC.,” “THERE IS NO CURE FOR LONG COVID,” “IT’S A PATIENTS’ RIGHTS ISSUE,” “IT MAKES YOU MORALLY CONSISTENT,” and “IT’S A PRISONERS’ RIGHTS ISSUE.” The bottom right corner reads “PROTECT YOURSELF.”

Along the bottom are additional panels stating “IT’S A WORKERS’ RIGHTS ISSUE,” “COVID DISPROPORTIONATELY HURTS MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES,” and “IT’S A DISABILITY RIGHTS ISSUE.” The overall tone is persuasive and educational, emphasizing that wearing a mask is a simple action with broad social, ethical, and health benefits, while not wearing one causes harm.

A screenshot of a New York Post health article. The headline reads: “How long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air — after an infected person has left the room.” It is written by McKenzie Beard and published February 14, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. ET, with a note showing 17 comments.

Below the headline is a photo of a man in profile sitting on a couch, wearing a red shirt with a face mask pulled down under his chin. He is exhaling forcefully, and a visible cloud of fine droplets or aerosol particles is shown spreading through the air in front of him, illustrating airborne transmission. A caption beneath the image states that tiny droplets and aerosols can hang in the air and build up indoors even after an infected person leaves.

The COVID-19 iceberg. Reported COVID cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Most infections go untested and unreported, so the real numbers are much higher, but reported cases still give us a rough idea of what’s happening in the community. #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne
An illustration of an iceberg floating in blue water. A small section above the waterline is labeled “Reported cases,” while a much larger portion below the surface is labeled “Unreported cases.” The word “COVID-19” appears across the iceberg, illustrating that reported case numbers represent only a small fraction of total infections.
