Narrative:

After wearing a mask for several hours; I get severe headaches. I believe in washing my hands and not touching my face. Wearing a mask and watching others; everyone touches their faces more than ever before. How is this healthy? It is just like the cdc stated in march that we should not be wearing masks because we would touch our faces too much and stuff (germs) would be on masks. It is so unhealthy for a healthy person to wear a mask. It drops off our nose and anxiety sets in because if someone sees and takes a picture; airline may fire us. Then I touch my face to move it back up. Not to mention; I have to change masks at least 10 times due to talking/shouting because no one can hear me and my mask is wet. I also feel uncomfortable not knowing who my flying partners are and especially my cockpit crew; as I cannot see their face. This is an obvious security issue. Airline needs to accommodate those who cannot wear; especially the disabled. The cdc even states that wearing a mask during the fires in california wouldn't help because the particles are too small and would get through. Guess what? Corona particles are even smaller; so therefore we are being lied to about masks; they will get through obviously as well.
