I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I think that these masks are unsanitary and unhealthy for people (like retail workers) to be wearing for hours on end. There have been studies showing that wearing these masks increases the rate of respiratory infections because bacteria builds up and breeds in those masks over time.
I do not expect another human being to put their own health at risk to protect mine. If I want to feel safe I will avoid crowds, keep a distance from other people and wear a mask as I deem appropriate. I know that is not a popular opinion here. But that is my view on the subject.
