    Yet another misleading article from u/return2ozma.
    The mask ban was for protesters, and has nothing to do with Covid.

      Rule 4:

      1. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.

      The post title is the same as as the article title. As of right now, article title is: Los Angeles’s Mayor Was Contemplating a Mask Ban. She Just Got Covid.

        I didn’t say he changed it, but he links these kinds of misinforming stories all the time.
        I originally wrote the article was misleading, but since they correct the misleading headline already in the first sentence, that wasn’t really true.
        So I changed it to the headline which is what is actually misleading.
        But since this is misunderstood, I have now changed it back.

        The fact of the matter is that u/return2ozma is flooding lemmy.world with misleading stories with misleading headlines, no matter how much they are the original headlines, they remain misleading. Those are often stories that in no way deserve to be spread.

          I have certainly criticized OP for posting things before, but I’m really not seeing the issue here with their actions. They posted an informative article that you just need to read to understand the headline… or just read the one-sentence preview if you click on the post to comment.

          It isn’t their fault that the headline is deceptive. It’s a good article from what is normally a trustworthy outlet and it’s pretty much your fault if you don’t even bother to do the second of the two things I suggested.

            Have you read the article? Honest answers only. I feel lile you’re just here to stir. Like the rest of the hivemind downvoting comments that aren’t wrong.

        It’s about responding to somewhat opposing public safety concerns. As someone else pointed out in this thread, when protestors are allowed to wear masks they are more likely to commit illegal acts, even violent ones. SARS-CoV-2 is no longer a novel virus. There is now significant immunity in the population and our COVID treatments are much improved, meaning the virus no longer constitutes a public health emergency.
