“anxiety alleviation.”
That’s exactly how I’ve treated it. Not my own anxiety, but that of the Nervous Nellys that I may encounter over the course of a day. It’s not a big bother, and it helps keep them from unraveling in front of me.
I can’t wear the things. I shop online and have groceries delivered or I pick up. May be forced one when we go back to work...don’t know yet.
It bothers me. I’m it wearing a mask and scaring my children to feed into someone else’s paranoia or moral posturing
