Benefits of wearing a face mask:
1) food or lipstick on your teeth is hidden
2) reduced risk of an agonizing and painful early death
3) you don’t have to worry about bad breath
Downsides:
1) mascne (mask related acne). It’s real!
2) your rights and freedoms are being trampled! Rise up, sheeple! (This isn’t true, FFS. Where were all these libertarians when I had to wear a mask in operating theatres so as not to infect people’s open wounds??)
On a related topic, a colleague of mine who’s just returned from a year working in a chest hospital in the UK is being interviewed by Kim Hill on National Radio at 10:30 tomorrow 2nd October. His account of a year of COVID in the NHS is harrowing and greatly recommended listening. Tell your friends.
