Americans have taken to social media to voice frustrations and post divisive exchanges surrounding facial coverings, worn to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urging people to wear masks, the topic remains a contentious issue. Twitter has been used to highlight the stark differences between those who do wear masks and those who don’t. These social media spats surrounding face masks have been a common occurrence since the lockdowns started in March. The CDC has suggested the public give themselves breaks from the news and social media platforms to assist with mental health during the coronavirus pandemic.
