No it didn't take away my freedom. It kept me safe as well as meeting my responsibilities not to endanger others in case, unbeknownst to me, I was carrier.
That the mask was turned into something political, even causing violence, made me wonder if the human species had to many insane members.
Mostly the mask made my nose itch. I wonder how surgeons go hours and hours with masks.

Amazing quotes, Donnalene. Most of them serve to underscore how masks are symbolic for hiding ourselves, but I agree with you about wearing them. They actually ensured my freedom, and it will seem odd to be without them.
