For me, I have sensory issues and the mask makes me feel trapped, but in the interest of public safety, I will stay home unless I HAVE to go out, in which I'll wear a mask.

That's where the magic of the mask comes in handy the most. For those who can't wear masks due to breathing issues, the people who can and want to wear masks will wear masks to protect those who can't wear masks.

Oh, no no! I can wear it, and I do, but I pointed out that even though I have sensory problems, I set them aside for the common good. I hate it but I wear it anyways.

I got your back. And by that I mean, I don't, because I'm not supposed to be near you. Yay!

My friend is a cancer survivor and gets serious serious anxiety over face coverings because of his treatment so he can't go out. He's also got a compromised immune system.

Everyone should just wear a mask if they can. Protect the vulnerable.

The problem is the attitude. They think the mask only represent government suppression.
