Face Mask love

With all the struggles of violence, disease, and underemployment lately, it’s no wonder that we are feeling more isolated than ever. We need connection to thrive. I propose that we show our care and solidarity by wearing a simple face mask when we go out.

As an ER doctor treating Covid patients the last three months, my N95 mask has been a lifeline. I am living proof of its effectiveness. Face masks do save lives — by containing our droplets when we cough, sneeze, talk, or sing. Imagine if the 40% who are infected but asymptomatic wore a face mask to prevent the spread.

But face masks also show your neighbor that you care about them and everyone around you. Instead of seeing face masks as a nuisance, wear it as a badge of honor — a symbol of your love for humanity. Instead of being bothered by the breathability of your face mask, remind yourself of the natural positive hormesis that occurs when your lungs work a little harder. Instead of feeling awkward talking through a mask, use it as a reason to be extra friendly to your neighbor, who desperately needs a warm interaction to brighten their day.

I look forward to seeing you wear your face mask the next time you are out in town. I will be wearing mine.
