The problem with that is it makes said indoor public spaces utterly inaccessible to anyone with hearing problems. Clear masks aren’t great for actual disease control.

In other words, we need a balance here, as is pretty common with these things.

Public transport I’ll consider, depending on how crowded it is and what might be circulating. Spaces where I need to talk to somebody, I’m going to need a reason, such as if somebody asks me to mask, if I’m feeling a tad under the weather, or if there’s something specific going around.

Masks also cause delays in language development in children. So, again, balance.

I won’t judge you for wearing one forever, but I’m trying to balance all of these factors.

(I’m with you on the heavy scents, though).
