September 16, 2022 - "Barry" star Bill Hader is trending on Twitter — not because of his Emmy nomination, but for being the only person at the Emmys on Monday night to wear a mask.

While many people have allowed their lives to return to "normal," for those who are immunocompromised, COVID still has a massive impact on day-to-day life. One Twitter user wrote, "I tend to be the only one (or one of the very few) still wearing a mask while going out into public spaces, and this makes me feel so seen!" Disability activists posted on Twitter to thank Hader for being an example of masking up — even if you feel like a "weirdo."
