I think the mask situation, with people panicking, is going to resolve itself as they become more normal.
I’m wearing one; homemade, my wife made it, uses a blue shop towel as a filter (I had a supply of N95’s, most got donated to the local hospital...have about 20 left, reserved for if my wife or I get sick). It’s also brightly colored, with a very pretty floral pattern...so not terribly threatening. This is on purpose...
I’ve been wearing it for the past week, and seeing more & more people wearing them.
