Yes. There are many things I would not like if we were required to wear them (we aren't, here). The science on how effective they are has been unclear (though it does seem to be getting clearer). They focus you on coronavirus all the time that you're wearing them. They are uncomfortable. They make communicating with people harder -- and communicating with people is crucial to our emotional/mental health. Also, disposal masks are already becoming a serious environmental problem. Coronavirus isn't everything.
