Wearing a
face mask is the first priority in helping to stop the uncontrollable dispersion of the covid-
19 virus. Wearing a mask is not that
simple and straight forward. There are some pros and some cons attached to it; some
serious, and some laughable. Below are
some of the pros and cons of wearing a face mask, according to my observation
and experience.
Pros;
Prevents covid-19 virus loitering in the air from entering the body through nose and mouth.
Covers up any scars, warts and other skin marks on bottom half of face. One's feeling of shamefulness is thus avoided!
Covers up the face without your macho moustache that was newly shaved off. And, thus, avoid being asked about it by your friends wherever you go!
Prevents your bad breath from reaching the other person when you are talking. Phew!
People cannot see all the red spots and bumps on your face during the occurrence of measles. Get well soon!
Cons;
People cannot see your beautiful or macho face! What a waste of makeup or moustache styling!
Some lipstick always sticks on the mask. Also some black Artline ink, used as temporary dye on moustache (unfortunately, applies to me! ), sticks on the mask! Another mask please!
Your specs always get blurred up by the vapour from the nose, as it is blocked by the mask from spreading out. Hold on a minute. Let me wipe clean my specs first!
Robbers are indistinguishable when they wear the face masks and dark glasses. One could be near you! Get help ready!
Some do feel uneasy and get the feeling of shortness in breath if worn the mask for long periods. Remove the mask, turn your face away from people near you, take a deep breath, and put the mask on. Don't forget to turn back to face the people near you!
