Did you stutter less with the masks in 2020?

Did you stutter less with the masks in 2020? I feel like I was more fluent with the Covid masks. I worked as a teacher (I get more fluent as the year goes on) and retail at a jewelry store during this time. Talking all day and usually my fluency would be spent by end of day (if I was fluent at all). With the masks, it was like 50% better because I didn’t have to worry about that my face and mouth were doing. Sure maybe my eyes a bit, but mostly mouth. Anyone else feel the same? I’m a SAHM now so I speak way less to people, but when I do I wish I had that freakin mask!!
