"The mask is a way of denying the very human face of the person. It is a way of taking away the individual unique humanity of each person, and turning us all into zombies, and restoring us to a kind of animal state so that we no longer look at each other going down the street as Tom or Mick or Mary or my friend or my sister or my brother, but as a festering mess of bacteria and viruses which is a danger to my health."

All of this is by design.
