Even for those who currently have no medical vulnerabilities, or who don’t mask regularly, wearing a mask should be as simple as using an umbrella when it rains or a bandage when you’re bleeding. You can protect yourself from flu season or smoke, or others from your cold. Easy, practical, courteous.

And allergies. I garden with a mask on on high pollen days. I discovered this in 2020.

I also wear one bc i have self confidence/image issues and sometimes its just easier to cover the problem with a mask. Just another bonus

Masking is so simple. And don't go out in public with a cold or flu. Stay home.

Especially considering the worsening air pollution as global warming continues. Mask wearing saves lives.

Next time the wildfires roll through in California there will be a lot of people masking! We were So Cal last week and there was some smoke, luckily not as bad as 2020…

If it's something to do with protests, could this also mean a ban on bandanas, scarves and baseball caps? I assume balaclavas are already banned.

Healthcare worker here. I wear a mask every day. I can’t believe my coworkers don’t.

Totally, its just good manners and common sense.

Bit of a resurgence in mask wearing here in Melbourne, i think because -so many- people currently have/recently had covid/flu/rsv etc. Its certainly not driven by leadership from govt or media. #covidisntover

Criminalizing a simple, easy, personal tool for public health is absurd and incredibly harmful. Masking whenever, wherever, for whatever reason, should be a completely normal and accepted part of life in a society.
