If accepted by the public (and so far it has been), a large part of the medical community will never remove the mask.
Let’s say you’re a brain surgeon. Unlike a GP, your patients are referrals and usually not long term.
You love the work, but there is always the terrible emotional toll of breaking bad news.
Fortunately, there is now a solution. You’ll never have to see the anguish, there’s a distance now between you and the patients. You don’t even have to hug them.
Why would you ever want to practice medicine again without one?
The mask mania has been a disaster for human relationships, even including the most casual ones. The checkers at the supermarket no long chat about the weather; in fact, most public places on mask areas are creepily silent. And I can’t imagine what this is doing to children, who have to spend the day in total silence.
I hope somebody - that being the people behind this - pays dearly for this cruelty someday.
