Nationally and locally there has been no honest discussion about masks. The doctors and professionals who speak against the mask folly have no voice except in conservative circles. This is a huge problem.
So far I have been able to shop without a mask, though sometimes I am surrounded by 200 Karens. The grocery store tightening up might change things. I made a cheater mask that is very short (just covers my lower lip), pleated at the top so that it does not rest on my nose, single layer of lightweight rayon, and does not tie at the bottom. Fits very loose. No test run yet.
