Aristotle: a good person wears a mask.

Bentham: a mask decreases suffering, so wear it.

Kant: it is your duty to wear a mask.

Kondo: spark joy, not infections, so wear a mask.

@spazzpp2 I am convinced masks increase the spread of disease when worn by the general public, probably significantly so. Which puts a lot of this in question.

@spazzpp2

Several ways. First it encourages people to touch their face more as it can be uncomfortable and usally causes people to fidget or itch their nose.

It also means you have to touch an infected mask and face everytime you drink or eat causing your hand and face to spread.

Moreover masks are only supposed to be used for a few hours at a time, so if they arent washed and reused they become particularly infectious

@freemo @spazzpp2

Do you think this increases risk of spread from the fellow with mask, to the fellow, or both?

Probably goes both ways but with the higher risk for the person wearing the mask.
