You know, a very long time ago in Wallachia, Romania, a ruler named Vlad Tsepes had some emissaries from the Turks come to visit. They refused to remove their turbans in the presence of Vlad the Impaler as a sign of respect, so Vlad had their turbans nailed to their heads and sent them back to the Turks like that.
I think there may be a lesson there for folks just wearing their masks to look "with it" and set a new trend.
You have to understand, I spent a very long time guarding large sums of money from people wearing masks. I have an acute aversion to masks. I know what they are really used for - they are used by robbers to avoid being identified. I have no problem permanently nailing them to idjits who wear them for no reason. I do have one, and I carry it in my pocket, but only put it on when Grace has to go into a doctor's office, because that is without a doubt a bandit environment, and when in Rome, one behaves as the Romans do - when you are in a den of thieves, it pays to look like one of them, and not stand out in that crowd. I NEVER wear it at any other time, however. If folks don't want to catch my cooties, then they need to just stay well the hell away from me.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
