They reduce the spread Out of reach

León, Spain: To Voicer Tim Hamelburg, who claims he needs help understanding a proposal to penalize people for not wearing a face-covering: I am a New Yorker, born and raised, who is presently living in Spain. Here it is against the law to appear in public without a mask. If you are caught without a mask, you face heavy fines and/or imprisonment. Guess what? I am witness to the fact that everyone you see here is wearing a mask. These laws may be a joke to you, but they work. Do you get it now?

Woodside: I recently wrote about my plight with no visitation at nursing home rehabilitation centers. Now my husband is back in the ICU! He just finished battling COVID for seven weeks only to be in need of rehabilitation services to get stronger and return home. I was told he was doing great. Because of no visitation, I had to go by their word. More should be done for our most sick and vulnerable New Yorkers.
