The thinking behind it is actually to prevent <em>you<\/em>, the mask-wearer, from spreading <em>your<\/em> diseased germs to other, healthy, happy people. So if you show up in Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur or Taipei or any other Asian city and begin sneezing without a mask on, there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=side%20eye\">nasty side-eye<\/a> from a local.<\/p>\n<p>The Coronavirus, obviously, is different: doctors are recommending people wear masks to prevent coming into contact with the &#8220;novel&#8221; virus, thus keeping yourself safe. But the masks cover a huge portion of your face (even a <em>big<\/em> face, like mine) basically invalidating Face ID. I know, I know, this sounds very trivial, and it is. But <em>trivial<\/em> and <em>annoying<\/em> have long conspired together to cause great anger and frustration.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2020\/01\/29\/cmon-apple-stop-making-me-choose-between-avoiding-coronavirus-and-easily-unlocking-my-iphone-in-china\/#more-630478\" class=\"more-link\">more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2020\/01\/29\/cmon-apple-stop-making-me-choose-between-avoiding-coronavirus-and-easily-unlocking-my-iphone-in-china\/\">C&#8217;mon Apple, stop making me choose between avoiding Coronavirus and easily unlocking my iPhone in China<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/\">9to5Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s tough out there, people.
