So here's a funny thing. I'm watching a boxset called world without end set in the middle ages. I think it's based on a ken Follett novel. It was made on 2013. Episode 6... The "plague or malevolent death" turns up in England. The nuns who are providing hospice care are told to isolate and wear face masks of linen in the hope it may provide some protection while they nurse.
I find it interesting that still in our modern era, 600 years on, that isolation and face masks is the best way to prevent spread. |

Probably right idea for the wrong reasons. Would be my guess. I think the idea of miasma, or religious pollution, was still most popular for explaining disease at that point.
So masks were to prevent people from catching the evil. |

"I'm very disappointed  I thought that this thread was going to be about the Jim Carrey movie 
Was hoping the same, I remember going and watching it at the cinema when it came out"
Imagine of all those masks were "magic" oh what a fun world... |

The reasons masks cannot be a permanent answer against infection control is simple
1. There negative effect on mental health
2. The way they discourage intimacy.
I believe (so an opinion) birth rates will globally plummet after this pandemic. Not necessarily a bad thing, but a butterfly effect of face masks. |

I can see them being a mitigation effect in places like supermarkets and public transport, long term. |

Now that's funny. I meant a indirect consequence of masks  |

I am somewhat confused by the points you are making here and honestly struggle to see how mask wearing has any bearing on mental health or intimacy as they are not permentlently bonded to your face? They are a device used to try and curb the spread of a virus that is all, and this is comming from someone that suffers with social anxiety and long term reactive depression. I quite like masks to be honest and have no issue continuing to wear one currently as it has meant no colds for me last winter and less hayfever issues currently. |

Huh. Interesting. I feel empowered by the idea that I can do more to stop the spread of illness.
I'm not trying to be intimate on a bus or in Sainsbury's - I mostly want to be left alone |

There's gonna be a generation of folk that only get turned on by outdoor sex and wearing masks, their desires forever shaped by their first experiences in 2020 - 2021.
On the other topic, it's really great that we've got an emoji for Jim Carrey's Mask |

Kink shaming is bad. Let us mask up!
Mmm. Hand sanitiser and double masks. Oh baby oh baby  |

Not according to a friend who works in a big London maternity unit.
She asserts that there has been an increase in pregnancies since lockdown and her colleagues refer to them as 'covid babies', implying that people have procreated due to having time on their hands.
Masks may discourage intimacy amongst strangers but luckily I have learned to smile with my eyes instead of my gappy teeth so my success rate in supermarkets should remain good. |
