I guess the idea is to retain the... Humanity.
I mean, there are gas mask types of facial coverings, already.
I have a motorcycle helmet. Surely you could put the right kind of material over the vents?
You could have someone in a scuba kind of a set-up. Breathing into a snorkel.

But we want to be able to see the person's face. To be able to re-identify them.
You don't want... At your most vulnerable moment... To wake up temporarily... And be confronted by aliens or machines. People in hoods. People wearing masks.
You want to see who is there.
And feel comforted. And not afraid.

I was just... I don't know what word is appropriate... Salty? About our more recent foray into the world of surgical mesh.
Our Universities are starting to make hand sanitiser. Looks like some of our international students might be able to make some of that for us. Yay them.
It would be nice to not feel like we are on hand sanitiser rations. To not be able to rub it into the skin for 20 seconds when you walk into the supermarket because they didn't give you enough to wet your skin properly. If you have a routine you can rub the back of your hands... Your thumb... YOur fingers... Then there isn't any left for your palms and your wrists...
