That's my answer, too. If everyone had worn masks and practiced social distancing from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this mess.
If your fellow Bay Area dudes wore condoms during the 70s/80s there wouldn’t have been widespread HIV/AIDS cases so there’s that mess. Lots of dudes today still aren’t wearing them and look....no one cares anymore. Your post has zero meaning.
Abortions aren't pandemics. An abortion affects the woman, not the entire population.
But with a disease, there is no choice as to who gets it. The other is a definite choice. A choice where there is a one hundred percent fatality rate. And it is worldwide. Doesn't that qualify as a pandemic?
Is it? Individualism and small businesses seem to be counter to what they want.....if you believe that theory, that is.
If it is all big business, I would imagine the plain jane approach of white and blue disposable plastic thingies, as they look to me, that hook around the ear would be all that was available.
Me, I get on a whim of what brings joy to me in fashion......and then go out to find and pay a local merchant to make it for me........as I just did, ordered a number of daily styles and designs. Not quite what I had in mind, but ones to let me feel good about myself.....and good for the common cause.
Yes that you and others are getting into the fashion of them. That some clothing manufacturers are making apparel with matching masks. That is what they want, to make people actually want to wear masks as fashion accessories.
In my area, fewer and fewer people are wearing a mask. Even at Walmart, most are not wearing a mask and they are not being kicked out.
I have not been kicked out of a store yet for not wearing a mask.
Most retailers are not enforcing mask rules. Company policy and rules are not laws. Even places with a mandate do not have a law regarding masks. They simply have an ordinance, violating an ordinance is like parking where your not supposed to or jaywalking. There is little or no consequence for refusing to wear a mask. The more people refuse to do it the weaker the maskies position gets. Refusal to comply will end the reign of the maskies.
If I'm going from one place to another within a couple of minutes, I usually keep mine on.
Since mine is surgical mask style, I tend to wear it the entire day either in up position or pulled down but still tied around my neck. It is when I get home that I finally take it off, with my ID pouches, me.

I find it ironic that you understand the simple scientific concept that a barrier method (condoms) prevents the spread of deadly viruses but think that another barrier method (masks) is some type of vast mind control conspiracy. There is no point in arguing with people who are that deluded, so I won't bother.
Anyway, I'm not a "dude."
Stay well.
