Abstract This essay attempts to discern which lessons the wearing of masks in a time of pandemics can offer to us: in terms of living as a sick or quasi-sick person, in terms of public health policies, and in terms of what faciality means for human life. It tries to do so through a clinical point of view, a view more concrete and materially grounded than a phenomenological one drawn from Levinas's philosophy of the face.
