It’s also dehumanizing. I haven’t worn a mask except my doc’s office where required to appease the fears of Fearpers/Karens.
I love it when the self-righteous actors prance up to the mic masked up & oh so sincere then immediately remove the mask to speak...
Letting fly with spittle. How absolutely stupid. Or not keeping the nose covered.
Useful idiots think they’re saving the world.
I worked in moldy and really dusty zones, real respiratory hazards. It was hot and sweaty and I never removed the mask until I was out of the danger zone. Period. Plus I was using a genuine N95 or respirator unit to make sure I didn’t inhale dust, mold spores, etc.
