Steven Spielberg wears a respirator while being interviewed outside the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on September 19, 2026. Respiratory protection doesn’t have to be unusual or disruptive. For many people, it remains a simple, everyday way to reduce the risk of airborne infection and help protect their health and the health of those around them. #MaskUp #COVID19 #COVID #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention

I see a few people wearing masks for their protection, but they're usually surgical masks. Those don't help the wearer.

That ignorant is not wearing a @NIOSH-certified respirator. That's a useless surgical mask. He is not a surgeon. He isn't performing a surgery. You and him delude yourselves thinking that piece of cloth protects vs viruses. It doesn't filter PM2.5 nano particles: not a N95!

Why doesn't anyone wear an actual FITTED respirator? Crom, people are so programmed. Putting a bit of non-woven over your face holes doesn't matter if the mask leaks. Get a fitted mask or a silicone mask. Anything else is performance politics.

Why DUAL with Covid when you can wear a mask

There are hundreds of peer reviewed papers published by respected academic journals showing the harms of Covid. Not a Minority Report.

Also strategic risk reduction. If he needed to take it off for an event, then hew protected himself for another part of the event. If we could just normalise their use for SOME of the time, it would help lessen the stigma of wearing them at all.

Then why wasn’t he wearing it in other parts of the facility?

I wish everyone would educate themselves. This IS either a KN95 or a N95 mask. Stop the bs. Its not a surgical mask. Dumb 🫏
Of course one of the best science fiction directors of all time understands the science of airborne virus transmission! Steven Spielberg is wearing a high quality mask during the California COVID surge.

Nothing wrong to wear a mask. I still do it in some situations or if I am sick in order to not contaminate others.

How about have the INDOOR AIR delivered via the HVAC system have been upgraded to 20 liters/ second / person via a HEPA filtered and UV 222 nm and keeping the CO2 LESS THAN 800 ppm ! BILLIONS WASTES - LIVES DAMAGED MASKS —WORK N95 works better !

The guy isn’t wearing a mask for Covid. He’s wearing it because he’s an actor and doesn’t look enough like Spielberg for this movie. WYKYK. 😉
