Took a Lyft to a doctor's appointment, and had my mask down below my nose. So my driver reported me, for failing, as Lyft puts it, to "follow [my] health safety commitment." (The next sentence says it's their—Lyft's—"health safety commitment," so whose is it?)
In any case, I was honoring my "health safety commitment," since (a) prolonged masking has been giving me migraines, (b) the hypoxia, hypercapnia, and rebreathing of my own exhaled pathogens are bad for me, as they are for everybody else (including that driver), and, therefore, (c) I believe it's everyone's "healthy safety commitment" to understand how masking actually increases our susceptibility to infections of all kinds, contrary to the tidal wave of propaganda now submerging us.
Lyft claims that, if I sin again, they'll cancel my account. This would be a hardship, since my doctor's office is uptown, and there are far fewer cabs downtown on the sparsely peopled streets of this assassinated city. But I will certainly think twice about using Lyft again (and hope that taxis too don't start enforcing masks, since I can't afford to buy a car).
Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I can get that driver's (generous) tip back.
Remember your commitment to health safety.
| Hi Mark
|
| You didn’t follow your health safety commitment
| A driver has reported that you weren’t following our [is it theirs or mine?] health safety commitment. You may not have worn a face covering, or you sat in the front seat, for example.
If we continue getting reports like this, we may have to suspend your account.
The next time you open your Lyft app, we’ll ask you to take a photo wearing a face covering. This can verify that you’re following your commitment.
|
| Your safety is our priority, which is why we created this commitment. Remember, every time you ride with Lyft, you need to:
|
|
- Wear a face covering — put it on before you get in the car, make sure it covers your nose and mouth, and wear it the entire ride
- Leave the front seat empty
- Turn off your car's recirculated air, and keep the windows down when possible.
| We’ve gathered tips and resources to help you stay informed.

| Thanks in advance for doing your part.
