Masks suck and I hate wearing them. I have only worn them when I’m forced to, for the most part. Here are 10 reasons why I hate them:

  1. They obscure my vision
  2. It is difficult to speak while wearing one
  3. I can’t see the facial expression of others that are wearing masks
  4. I can’t read the lips of others that are wearing masks
  5. My breath stinks and now I know it
  6. My breath fogs up my glasses
  7. My breath is fiery hot, and I live in the southeast of the US
  8. I suck a lot of wind and masks constrict my breathing
  9. Wearing them for a lengthy period makes my ears hurt
  10. Leadership can’t decide if masks are helping or hurting

I don’t think anyone alive enjoys wearing a mask. As of this writing, there are over 582,000 people that can’t wear a mask because they are dead. Over 13.5 million people probably wish they would’ve worn a mask and that you would’ve too. Wearing them is an unpleasant experience for us all, but studies show that countries that mandated masks early saw the least deaths.

There are a few groups that most people fall into with wearing masks:

  1. Everyone should wear a mask
