I keep hearing that masks make people touch their face. I put to you the following questions:

1. Do frontline healthcare workers also "touch [their] face" when wearing these masks for the same reasons regular people do? I imagine it's to adjust the fit? If the answer is no, is it because they have been educated not to? People, at least where I am in Canada, are being told not to touch our faces already. Can we not just extend the messaging to be "avoid touching your face, even when wearing a mask"?

2. If increased face touching when wearing a mask is truly a problem, would we not expect Hong Kong and Taiwan to have a worse community spread situation? Why is it that they have this contained? Again, the example is anecdotal. But coincidentally, they're both locations that learned from SARS and H1N1 and mask wearing is a foundational part of their public health response.
