Masks...What Say You?
When this whole thing began there seemed to be a larger concern for what we touched. Wash your hands with soap and water. And that’s a good thing!
But what has become a concern for many is the reach of the virus as well as the length of its “hang time.”
So besides doing our best to physically distance ourselves from others, we are very much aware of the air we breathe and pass through.
Masks are a bit like social media...to some extent they allow us to be semi-anonymous when we’re out in public...kind of like a masked ball. (I’m channeling Phantom of the Opera now)
Jeff Dowler, CRS wrote an excellent post asking if we were masking our verbal communication.
There are a handful of actors who can express a feeling by the mere movement of their eyebrows. (Sandra Oh comes to mind) But for the majority of us, we’re just two eyes peeking out from a mask, speaking in muffled tones.
So...masks...what say you?
Me? I have asthma, allergies and have had bronchitis more times than I want to count. I know what it feels like not to be able to catch a breath and have to head for your nebulizer.
I’m wearing a mask. What about you?
