The function of a mask runs counter to the function of heat dissipation. You can't get a mask that works well at stopping droplets that will allow heat to dissipitate and not cause steam to collect in the face.

It's not opinion that having to wear a mask traps warm moist hair that one exhales, against the face.

Not when the risks to safety - that the measure is being implemented to mitigate - are extremely minute, and the measures very plausibly have safety risks themselves.

There is strong evidence they reduce transmission of aerosols. Given that our best shot at a return to normalcy is a vaccine, and those should be available for all western school age kids by years end, is it really that huge of an inconvenience to do it a few more months?
