Ever since i have #LongCOVID, one of the issues preventing me from going to protests is the fear of getting arrested. There's always a possibility of that. The idea of being thrown into a cell or a cop car and maybe forced to take off my ffp2-mask is a total nightmare.
People who NEED to keep wearing masks, because they are immuncompromised or chronically ill, do not have the possibility to wear masks as an act of civil disobedience.
