People with Masks

Contrapuntal

Does anyone find it really difficult to work out conversations with someone wearing a mask?

Assuming the sound is not obstructed - even then it seems impossible to tell who someone is, whether they are happy or angry and how to have a conversation?

I am dreading the masked world that lies ahead of us. POST-EDIT:  I really want people to be protected, but I hope it doesn't need to be like this too much longer.

    i realised that I tend to look at the mouth or nose in order to avoid looking at eyes, but also to try and get clues that i can't get from the vocal pitch alone.  Now there's nothing to look at unless they have very look-worthy hair. And i get paranoid that people might be annoyed, even if they are not. The mask looks a bit severe.
