I rarely leave the shop, once I'm there. Except to grab a snack at the cafe (mask required). And, honestly, the ear-loop masks are easier to just keep on. I don't even remove my mask to test ride bikes.
I have a couple that I rotate. Naturally, one of them is from USA Cycling:

Hey MoAlpha I have a puzzling neuro case. Healthy guy who got his shingrix 10d ago (red herring) comes in with 1 day of right facial numbness. Says wife thinks he has a right facial droop. He feels fine.
He has a possibly very subtle right facial droop but no other motor deficits on facial exam. His palate goes up symmetrically on "Ahhhh," and he has a very minor subjective decreased sensation on his face in V1/V2/V3. No vesicles or rash. Right ear exam looks ok.
So I told him that this was not really clear to me what the diagnosis is. I told him it could be a very early Bell's or a funny trigeminal nerve heralding shingles thing but I am stumped. Since I have doubt I told him to call me in 2 days with an update and gave him a script for antivirals in case he develops a rash.
Any thoughts??

Edit: As the eminent Dr. LAJ points out, methylprednisolone is indicated early if this declares itself as a Bell's palsy.

I actually already did that too. Will let you know what pans out. It may go away but it may be too early to declare itself.

My company sent us five white cotton ones a few months ago. I was surprised they weren’t branded, and even more surprised that any teams at the Tour are using plain white. Seems like an obvious place to continue the team colors and sponsors.

We got facial underwear from our employer too. They're too small and pull my ears out of shape.

I also have a mask with the shop logo. It's in the wash right now.
