still doesnt explain the tenfold increase, planes/airports always had more mask wearing so thats a reach for your example and just saying air quality issues are not too common in 99% of all inside businesses I have been to so yet another reach as I used banks as an example.
so there isnt anything new yet 10X more people wearing masks..that again looks like people with Xmas decorations in February.
Banks dont allow masks for a reason, also in public it not that acceptable to wear a mask in many contexts as criminals can get away with things if you cant identify them. I wouldnt want to be down a dark alley and approaching 10 masked people (not related to their job) , i know i wouldnt assume they are just trying to avoid mild cold symptoms and there are air quality issues.
