There's a reason I want an OmniMask.

But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.

I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)

Frankly, whether the Devil or not, approaching to random strangers and advising them to forego wearing PPE with zero knowledge of their personal context (even without an ongoing or emerging pandemic(s) to deal with), IS EVIL.

Moreso when they claim religious authority while doing so.

And I genuinely hope he spent more than a few minutes reconsidering his words.

IMO it's critically important that we get some sustained public training re respirator styles, applications, uses.

Heck, an entire series of TikTok vids or YouTube shorts from experts done up as reality-show style of rugged/superhuman/smart/etc doing their jobs explaining HOW #respirators keep them alive to do it all again is now long overdue.

And include it all: the astronauts, the saturation divers, etc -- all people who use breathing tech or die.
