People have been wearing masks before this virus showed up. Maybe they are just noticed more now.
There are folks out there going they Chemo or have a low IGG and would be wearing it even if this virus wasn’t around.

I have seen people at the grocery store wearing masks for years. I assumed they were chemo or some other immunocompromised folks, or just very polite shoppers who were protecting other shoppers from their colds.
Oddly, I always noticed more Asians wearing masks than Caucasians. This is in Central TX in a town of less than 30,000.
That’s me.. stage 4 metastatic cancer in the lungs. Was in hospital over this weekend due to shortness of breath and chest pain. In a oncology/pulmonary floor. Nurses had all heard of CV but none knew too much let alone had any bulletins on how to screen for it. They wore basic surgical masks and no other protective gear till I was cleared of the flu. Standard hand sanitizer on entrance and exit. Once I was cleared of the flu all masks came off. Never occurred to them that I could be negative for flu but positive for CV. Obviously not tested for CV.
