Bill Hader Was The Lone Celebrity To Wear a Mask At The Emmys And People With Chronic Conditions Can Relate

There were many memorable moments from the 74th Emmy Awards.

The auditorium was filled with maskless people despite the ongoing Pandemic that has killed more than 350 people in the US. Bill Hader was one of the exceptions.

One of the only people who wore a face mask for the duration of the ceremony was Bill Hader, who sat next to Henry.

The nominees were required to show proof of a negative test, while theEmmys presenters were required to show proof of a vaccine.

Hader is being praised for giving people the confidence to wear their own masks in public despite being the only person to do so. He didn't take home any awards, but he didn't take home any trophy.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the reason Hader wore a mask at the event is that he has an auto immune condition that requires him to take immunosuppressive medication. The publicist for Hader wouldn't give any information about his condition or medication.

People with weakened immune systems are more likely to get sick with COVID and experience more severe outcomes. Even mild infections can lead to long Covid, which can cause symptoms for weeks, months or even years. According to the CDC, nearly one in five adults in the US have had the virus.
