Good points Mq. But you should also wear a 13mm thick kevlar helmet which could provide brain protection as well as scalp protection against dings and sunburn, cold and hot. A helmet could also be the air intake surface and filtration system, as well as containing batteries and electronics to run communications and Cyberspace interface to It aka AI. For added fun, a helmet could have two little multiround missile launchers. Look carefully at the target, blink twice to fire. Great for close self defence. Bullets could be tiny with toxins such as fentanyl to incapacitate attackers. Mqurice

Oh, that is horrible! Bank tellers. I am thinking, at least because of covid, people are unconsciously staying a little further away from strangers.

Maurice! Glad you are back, it's boring here without you. Did you see that Trump has adopted your Citizenship for sale idea? John

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. Ah, yes yes yes. While the efficiency of masks against viruses may be questionable, against pollen and other environmental pollutants they are observationably effective - for example, look at the outside of one worn in hay fever season or after grinding concrete. One can also be fashionable when adorned as such:

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. I was just in Guadalajara. None of the Uber drivers there seem inclined to use the air conditioning in their cars, so it was windows down. I felt like I was choking on exhaust fumes on the hour drive to the airport. Good to see you here Mq.
