I have been suggesting for a while to give up on face masks, and use a full clear face shield, which also protects the eyes, and provides relatively free air circulation beneath the shield, allowing the exhalation of breath and the dispersal of high CO2 concentrations. And in the case of a cough, your mouth is automatically covered.
Also easier on your ears, and facial recognition is still possible.
I just use the free mask costco gave me. I can’t get enough air through it so I modified it. I cut along the inner folds, leaving a bit of mask every couple of inches to hold it together. Now I can breathe as if the mask isn’t even there. Sure, people can see the holes, but nobody really notices.
Works great.
