Mask and Ye Shall Receive.

Lealani Mae Y Acosta1.   

Abstract

A physician engages in a social media debate regarding mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic and searches for truth and virtue, primarily charity. While wearing masks is commonplace and vital during the COVID-19 pandemic to those working in healthcare, the lay perspective on wearing masks is more varied and can be skewed by politicization, pseudoscience, and misinterpretation. The practicing Catholic physician serves as an important witness to the truth of science and Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The question of mask-wearing is transformed from merely being a scientific question to more of a moral and theological question. © Catholic Medical Association 2020.
