I'm inconsistently bearded/shaved and I also don't care about wearing a mask. I can wear an N95 or equivalent all day doing manual labour. I get that some people have breathing difficulties, etc, but for those who don't… never really understood the objection. You forget it's on after five minutes.

I've not stopped masking since the start of Covid. I'll put one on before going into a shop and frequently only remember to take it off when I get home. Medical masks are even less of a bother.

I do hate the masks with elasticated ear loops, though. They hurt. I don't know whose bright idea that was but they need promoting to a position where they can't cause any more damage.

Yes, I get strange looks. But I can convey with my eyes that I think they're a Muppet for not wearing a mask, so I don't get many actual comments.
