Most no longer make eye contact. Or shake hands. I can't tell whether someone is genuinely smiling or laughing. Voices are muffled. They're a distraction.

I miss face to face conversations with strangers. I miss talking fast, getting excited, and not having my glasses fog up because I apparently breath fast when excited.

There's an element of humanity that's simply been lost.

EDIT: This isn't a response to what is the appropriate trade-offs for lives lost.

It's specifically a response to the idea that "nothing" is lost when wearing a mask.
