Absolute insanity. Now think about what this does to the forming mind of a toddler. When I see a masked toddler on the street, I have to control myself. I really want to go up to the parent (usually unmasked) and ask them why they are doing this.
The same sort of issues from lack of visual cues regarding facial movements and expressions have also negatively impacted the cognitive development of the littles in this society too.
It's sad.
I haven't got the wherewithal to dredge up current studies on it (though I've seen them and put them on Zuckerbook when they were current events,) but there's plenty of pre-Never Ending State of Emergency data on the necessity of facial cues for linguistic and emotional development for the littles to back up the concept.
