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.

I think you got it right on all levels.
I often have to enter into the den of thieves, so I too go in incognito.
Otherwise, I am not doing the mask thing. And if anyone has a good excuse to wear one, it is me.
Learned it saved me a lot of money, not having to buy make-up.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
