A lawsuit filed by a former Walgreens employee allegedly states that she was fired for not wearing a disposable mask after claiming that it aggravated her asthma.

The suit said that her accommodation forms were approved, but only through July 2020. In August, she had an asthma attack at work that resulted in a trip to the emergency room in an ambulance. The complaint said that she went back to work soon after.

When claiming that the options she was given would aggravate her asthma, the suit stated that she was fired. Big businesses in the United States have now begun vaccine campaigns, and Walgreens is among the list of stores that are allowing fully vaccinated people to shop without a mask on as of May 19.to getting vaccinated now as well, claiming that it will give away millions of dollars and prizes like free groceries for a year for people who get their COVID-19 vaccine at a Kroger Health.

My dad is 75 and has COPD really bad, so bad he can't walk up or down a fight of stairs without gasoing for air. He has an inhaler, but he has no issues wearing a mask everywhere he goes. Walgreens has every right to hold her accountable for its policies.

I have asthma, COPD and emphysema and a lung nodule. A mask doesn't decrease my ability to breathe nor does it decrease my oxygen levels whatsoever. I've checked it every time I am wearing one. Nada. NO impairment. Stop mouth breathing.

Goid.
