Face-masks for all?

In my latest foray down the town I notice that people are beginning to wear face masks. I do not dispute the right of anyone to cover their face, but have already had trouble regnising a friend when her hair is so long and I can only see her face. No doubt face masks will have to become part of our standard equipment if and when lock-down rules begin to be relaxed. But the outlook for those of us who rely on being able to see the whole face if pretty grim. I was sent a link to the National Deaf Children’s Society containing instructions on how to make a mask with a clear panel so that the mouth is visible. Well this is part of the solution, but we still need to see the whole face. The thought of droves of people wandering up and down the High Street hiding behind their masks makes me shudder, and I am sure that even people with good hearing will find it unsettling.
