You want to wear one? Fine.
But realize that the rest of us are not into virtue signaling.
Costco “requires” masks but I saw about ten folks who pulled them down once in the store.
I go out to exercise, shop and see if they’ve reopened public buildings that are important to me, such as the synagogue and mikveh. I keep a mask with me, and put it on when I have to to avoid hassles. But personally, I don’t believe it’s worth a good sh!t as protection.

This ^^^^^^^ A thousand times this ^^^^^^^
“Went out today. About 70% of the people were wearing masks. I did not.”
about the same percentage here for my part of colorado’s front range ... i wear a mask, but i wear it on my chin, not covering my mouth or nose; the mask says “MAGA Mask” on it ... harder that way for someone to butt in to “explain” to me that i’m not wearing my mask “correctly” ... besides, it’s hard for mask wearers to make themselves understood ... no matter, everyone around here seems to mind their own business about whether they or others wear masks ...
I've gone out EVERY DAY. My usual markets are open and I buy ALMOST like I buy every day. I wear a mask when I go INSIDE because I couldn't enter a market without one.
But I sure as H-E-double hockey sticks DON'T wear it outside or in my car. STUPIDITY!
My husband was accosted by a little old lady at Starbucks who demanded to know why he wasn’t wearing one. The look he gave her would curdle milk so she didn’t push it. Had she asked me, I would have told her if she was that concerned she shouldn’t be out in public.
It has nothing to do with "virtue signalling" and everything to do with a very simple, very effective means of protecting yourself AND OTHER PEOPLE.
All the anti-mask hoopla is playing directly into the hands of the Chinese commies.
You do realize that the idea of wearing a mask is to protect OTHERS right? It has nothing to do with ‘virtue signaling’.
Go ahead, don’t wear one, I don’t believe you’re required to as I believe these ‘orders’ are unconstitutional.
That said, I wear one because I may be unknowingly sick, it’s not a huge burden.
Depends on the type of mask full face respirator with HEPA FILTERS will help common surgical mask helps you from being a latter day Typhoid Mary. Either way it helps.
