| | | The air in a lot of places has a lot of muck in it. It's better to avoid inhaling soot, dust and bits of flying spittle. Getting weird about people wearing air filters is a bit TDS in character.
I've lived in and been in such places. The only thing wrong with "face diapers" is that they're not very effective. I'd like a good design, such as filtration done in clothing with nostril tubes for delivery. Or genetic engineering to get air directly into bronchi without going through the choking system.
Meanwhile, "face diapers" are better than diesel exhaust, soot, spittle, desert dust blown over France, etc direct to alveoli. For added fun, masks mess with Big Brother facial recognition and digital punishment.
People upset about other people wearing masks should check their mental stability.
Wear masks - and goggles for eye protection. Goggles can also be 3d mobile cyberspace input devices with retina scan, while recording sights and sounds to transmit live as webcams to share with distant people.

PS... I became aware of how much spittle people produce when at a bank teller in NatWest Bank, Moorgate, 1994. NZ bank tellers by then were open but NatWest had glass between teller and customer. I asked why they have it. She pointed to the glass and said to look. Wow, there were tiny spittle marks all over the glass. That spittle would have gone straight at the teller. Plosive sounds such as P, T, B, D, F, K, S send little balls of liquid flying. Wearing spittle blocks is a polite thing to do when talking to people. Spitting on people is considered rude by some people. |
