It's not about protecting YOU. The mask lessens the chance of you spraying virus on anyone within 6' of you. In that sense my stage coach robber mask is as good as surgical masks.

Sorry, buddy. I was slightly off topic and pointing to the extent that social cusroms, norms and perceptions influence the current situation. I am talking about cultural and color perceptions. Please read the linked post.

I tried to but a blank screen came up. My daughter loves to sew researched DIY and made masks for my wife and I. If the rec center reopens I'll wear one there.

I’m a Black man living in this world. I want to stay alive, but I also want to stay alive.

Try going into your bank in that getup. If it's sunny out, use sunglasses.
