7 Reasons We Should not Have Worn Masks During the Pandemic
Now that masks are mostly obsolete for the fully-vaccinated, let me remind you why we never should have worn masks in the first place:
- Masks are prohibitively heavy
- It is nearly impossible to find a mask that perfectly matches your outfit
- They take up too much space in your pocket or bag, leaving little room for essentials like those business cards from that interview you went on seven years ago
- Masks give you weird tan lines, and no one wants to look weird during a global pandemic
- Masks diminish your sense of smell, and it’s vital to know when someone farts or if there was garlic in their lunch
- Masks prevent people from hearing your speech impediment, and without that knowledge how will they talk behind your back?
- Wearing a mask might prevent you from getting sick, in which case you won’t be able to use your sick days before they expire
