How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask
Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection.
Twist your mask strings.
From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask.
If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.
Use tissues.
You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask.

Glasses Getting Fogged Up
Why it happens:
How to fix it: Look for a mask with a metal wire in that goes over the bridge of your nose, and pinch it until it fits your nose shape. Another trick: Clean glasses with soap and water to help prevent fogging.
Mask Slipping Down
Why it happens: Faces come in all shapes and sizes.
How to fix it: To make sure a mask fits you correctly, put it on and cup your (washed) hands around the edges. Pull the mask up towards your cheeks, then down towards your chin. Adjust the ear loops.
Difficulty Communicating
Why it happens: Even people with perfect hearing can struggle to understand others who are wearing a mask. It's a physical barrier that blocks sound and can cause speech to be unclear.
How to fix it: People assume that they just need to speak louder, but that's not it—slow down and speak as deliberately as possible. You can buy masks with a clear window to allow for lip-reading as well.
| A．You feel comfortable wearing the mask |
| B．So the mask does not gap at the sides or top |
| C．But small annoyances can discourage mask use |
| D．And some men's facial hair makes getting a good fit difficult |
| E．The hot air from your breath escapes from the top of your mask |
| F．It also blocks visual signals, like whether a person is smiling or not |
| G．However, wearing a mask when you are out and about is essential for your safety |
【推荐2】As the novel coronavirus epidemic continues, one school after another has organized online classes. The most common form is live streaming, in which all participants, teacher and students alike, sit in front of a computer camera and see each other by the platform.
Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class, and jokes show about each other’s appearance. After all, most of the time it is the teacher appearing on screen, and the students, even if called on by the teacher, will only show their faces.
Yet Shijiazhuang No.1 Middle School in Hebei province recently caused heated discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms while attending online classes.
By Saturday morning, the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, with 180 million views.
“The practice can improve students’ sense of formality in the online classes and make them more attentive,” said Yao Haibo, a head teacher of the school in a video clip. “It can also give students a sense of honor and make them remember their identities as students.”
However, in the comment sections, some micro bloggers claiming to be students disagreed.
“Not useful. Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform,” was the most highly voted comment, with 31,000 “likes”.
“Maybe a good move, but unnecessary,” was another highly voted comment.
Whatever the argument is, the problem might be solved in the not-so-distant future. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397 on Saturday.
The students and teachers might, hopefully, see each other in classrooms soon.

【推荐3】Time spent alone during the pandemicled to positive effects on well-being across all ages, new research has found.
The study of more than 2,000 teenagers and adults found that most people experienced benefits from solitude during the early days of the global Covid-19 pandemic. All age groups experienced positive as well as negative effects of being alone. However, the researchers found that descriptions of solitude included more positive effects than negative. On average, well-being scores when participants were alone were 5 out of 7 across all ages, including adolescents aged 13—16.
Some study participants talked about worsening mood or well-being, but most described their experiences of solitude in terms of feeling skilled and feeling self-reliant. 43% of all respondents mentioned that solitude involved activities and experiences of spending time on skills-building and activities, and that was consistent across all ages. Meanwhile, self-connection and reliance on self was a major feature particularly for adults, who mentioned it twice as often as teenage participants.
Dr Netta Weinstein, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Reading said, “The conventional wisdom is that adolescents on the whole found that the pandemic was a negative experience, but we see in our study how components of solitude can be positive. Over those first few months of the pandemic here in the UK, we see that working adults were actually the most likely to mention aspects of worsening well-being and mood, but even those are not as commonly mentioned as more positive experiences of solitude.”
The researchers noted that the findings were taken from one phase of the Covid-19 pandemic during the summer of 2020, and recommended that follow-up data looks at experiences of solitude during challenging periods such as this one, and also more commonplace periods where daily solitude may look and feel different.
