This is how you find your face mask

We willen het niet, maar we kunnen niet anders. Zo doorgaan is ook geen optie dus als we dat kunnen bestrijden door een mondkap te dragen, dragen we een mondkap. Zo erg is het nou ook weer niet. Maar welke neem je? Ik zet even de voor- en nadelen op een rij.

1. The fabric mask

Pro:

1. It's fashionable: you can match it to your outfit (Chantal Janzen Televizier-Ring, hello).
2.  You can brand it with, for example, your company or you can make a special mask for your school or organization.
3. You show that you take the corona crisis and its control seriously because you have invested in a mask.
4. It's sustainable and lasts longer.

Con:

• You have to wash it.
• You need several to always have a clean one available.
• It doesn't breathe very well, which can make your skin restless if you wear it for a long time.

2. The paper disposable mask

Pro:

1. It's hygienic.
2. You can also give it to someone else (you probably have several with you).
3. It's not very noticeable, which you might find nice.

Con:

• It breaks easily.
• It's not very sustainable (I see so many disposable masks lying around on the street).
• The paper rubs against your nose, causing small scratches if you're sensitive to it.

3. The perspex screen

Pro:
1. People see your whole face, it looks much friendlier and moreover, they probably understand you better because they can see your mouth move.
2. It's better for your skin; it won't get clogged and will be less restless.
3. It doesn't irritate behind your ears.

Con:

• It's quite a statement mask. There's a chance people might find you a bit over the top.
• It's not really great for your hairdo.
• Your glasses probably won't fit underneath it.
• If it rains, you'll need wipers for it.

Which one do you choose? I'm still hesitating between A and C…
