There are lots of reasons, but I think I'll be wearing them for a while after it's eventually "safe" to stop. It's kind of nice having my face obscured.

Does anyone else feel this way?

    In Japan some people wear masks in public just for the sense of privacy, or in the case of some women, so they don't need to bother with makeup as much.

    I kinda wish wearing masks would also catch on in the West even after Covid, would probably help lessen influenza and even regular flu cases. I don't think we give enough of a shit about our fellow man though

      This has been my secret (in China) for years!

        For the dudes out there, having had a year's worth of experience with masks, I can confirm this trick also works when you can't be bothered to shave

      Look at how hard they're still fighting not to wear a mask during a pandemic, forget about fighting off cold and flu season lol
