Long gone are the days of mandated masking in public to protect against COVID — but many people still benefit from the practice. Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, spoke during the public comments section of a Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting asking for a return of mask mandates in county medical facilities.
“I contracted a post-viral condition in 2019,” she said according to CNN. “I’m OK now, but I saw first-hand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses.”
