The 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spoke during the public comment portion of Tuesday’s Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting, which had nothing mask-related on the agenda. “ One in 10 infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological and cardiovascular illness that can take away people’s ability to work, see, move and even think,” Affleck said, speaking quickly to fit her presentation into the one minute allowed. “To confront the long COVID crisis,” she petitioned the supervisors to pursue mask availability, air filtration and sterilizing far-UVC lights in government facilities, including jails and detention centers. “They do not keep us safer, they make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together.” Opinion Editorial: Banning masks at protests is a bad idea Good for L.A. Mayor Karen Bass to study how to prevent a recurrence of the kind of violence that took place Sunday at Adas Torah synagogue in the Pico-Robertson.
