Face masks are an easy and simple way to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses, even in a non-pandemic. Plus, they can be a cute and fun fashion accessory.

But some people don’t like wearing them. That’s understandable. They’re not always comfortable. But you know what? A little discomfort is worth it, if it means saving the lives of those around you.

You don’t agree? Then take a look at the tweets below. If these 15 people can wear mask, so can you.

1. Think of the medical professionals:

These people are risking their health and safety to save lives every day.

This is my best friend Danielle. She’s a CRNA and wears a mask at work all day, for 8+ hours a day. When she’s in the OR she wears 2. If she can wear this for 8 hours, you can wear one for 30 minutes while you’re grocery shopping.
Be kind. Wear a mask. Happy Friday. pic.twitter.com/mPzo3h9GUM

2. Remember the essential workers:

The ones who can’t just work from home.

IF I, AN EMPLOYEE, CAN WEAR MY MASK FOR 8 HOURS, YOU AS A CUSTOMER CAN WEAR YOUR MASK FOR 30 MINS.

3. Small but mighty:

It shouldn’t be up to children to set the example for adults.

4. The children are our future:

She’s rockin’ that rainbow ice cream mask.

If my one year old can wear her mask, you can wear yours Karen 😤 pic.twitter.com/B9A5sDoqQ3

5. One more time:

If a child can do it, so can we.

If Bennett can wear a mask for a two hour doctors appointment, you could wear one for a 15 minute trip to the store. #WearAMask pic.twitter.com/bC8xAN7bKa

6. “We can do it!”

We CAN wear a mask.

If a 330lb Strongman with pre existing breathing problems can wear a mask while burying a 525lb squat…

You can wear a mask for 15mins while I'm in Trader Joe's.#WearAMask #WearAMaskSaveLives pic.twitter.com/hvXhcYiRNh

7. When you think about pulling the brim down…

Remember Elizabeth.

If I can wear this mask five days a week , for seven weeks, whilst getting radiation in my mouth , to kill my cancer, you can wear a mask so that people like me don’t get sick and die because we’re immuno-compromised. pic.twitter.com/YXNeGaLKOs

8. When you think you can’t breathe…

Remember Raelene.

Wear a mask! If people with #cysticfibrosis and other lung conditions can, so can you! I have a lung function of 33% and can still wear a mask. I wear oxygen and can still wear a mask. How would you feel if you gave someone #COVID19 because you didn’t wear one and they died? pic.twitter.com/iH6LikhoUF

9. THIS mask:

Imagine wearing THAT for hours! That cloth mask isn’t looking so bad now, huh?

Just a reminder if I can wear my N 100 respirator with all of my PPE in 100 degee weather for hours… then you can wear a surgical mask for 30 minutes. pic.twitter.com/3y8eaW2uE4

10. It’s NOT a political statement:

It’s an act of compassion for your fellow human beings.

This is how my uncle had to dress today to perform surgery on a Covid positive patient. His oxygen levels did not drop. He did not suffocate. If he can do this, you can wear a mask while running errands. This is not political, it’s about protecting your fellow people. pic.twitter.com/PBxEmdsrLE

11. It CAN be comfortable:

Keep trying different masks until you find the right fit for you!

If Clint Frazier can wear a mask while playing a Major League Baseball game, you can wear one going grocery shopping #Yankees pic.twitter.com/ESm6IaDwNE

12. Think of your elders:

Wearing a mask around them could save their lives.

13. If you value doctors and nurses…

Wear a mask as an act of RESPECT for their lives.

14. Wearing a mask is patriotic:

It shows you love your country, and all the humans who live in it.

15. Wearing a mask is the least we can do:

A little discomfort is worth saving lives.

I know they can be uncomfortable. Trust me, I’ve been there, but a little discomfort is worth it, if it prevents someone from having to go on a ventilator, or worse. Wearing a mask is a small act of kindness we can all do when we go out into the world to protect those around us. If the people listed above can do it, so can you!
