Watching babies and children stare blankly at the half-faces of masked adults who talk to them has been one of the most disturbing things to see throughout mask-wearing. Babies are being robbed of vital early sensory developments offered by actual, normal life.

Not just babies. I have trouble understanding what people are saying in a noisy public environment at the best of times — and with them having a mask on, it’s hopeless. And so many social cues are not available that way.
Hardly anyone ever talks about the social issues that masks cause, but I think they are important. Why do so many people want to live in such a terrible way basically forever? I cannot understand.
