We all use face masks many hours a day. I wonder what are your items you like to be improved.
We have the opportunity to write an application for support to a sponsor. Your answers will help us a lot.
Thank you for answering.

I think one of the many disadvantages is that it is sometimes hard to breathe with the mask on especially when doing something that requires more assertion. The fact that it covers the mouth and the nose can be uncomfortable for some people. I have noticed that ladies who use lipstick and makeup tend to find it messy. It can get sweaty at times if you live in the hotter part of the work. For the fashion-sensitive, it might not always look fashionable.
That said I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Staying healthy and safe is always number 1.
If it can be made less 'intrusive' that would be ideal. If one can we a mask and feel like they are not wearing one...I don't know how possible that is...
Emotionally
1. The loss of smiles and facial feedback
2. A feeling of cowardice (esp for men)
3. A sense of unreality, as if you are in a Kabuki play.
4. Communication barrier, suddenly you can't articulate well; a lot of the intonation, humor, and music in your voice is muted.
When wearing a mask my glasses often fog up very easily, a real problem while driving. Masks are also a challenge for those wearing over-the-ear hearing aids.
Dear colleagues,
thank you a lot for answering. You gave me valuable hints!
I will keep you on track how the stoy will develope.
Best regards
Peter
