There are a lot of benefits to normalizing masking, but what really drives it home is that i spend a lot of time smelling poop at work and masking takes like 65% of the poop smell away.
I used to have gyros the days I was masked near the worst of the poop smells working in hospital labs. Never appreciated the afternoon gyros burp as much as that.
We went to the orthodontist today and even through the mask the smell of disinfectant was awful. I can't imagine working in that all day, let alone without a mask 😬
