I mean that whole idea is stupid. I'm still wearing masks on occasion. I don't want to spread my mild flu to all the coworkers in the office, crowded train etc... I think we should do it like in some asian countries, where you'd just stop the flu spreading to some degree. Since you can't stay at home all the time and that's kind of contagious...
And the only benefit is that some dystopian total video surveillance keeps working...
Super stupid. Most everyone who wears a mask wears it for medical reasons. It's none of our business whether they're disabled or just don't want to catch/spread a cold. It's not even our business if they're wearing it for non-medical reasons- I'm sometimes more comfortable in public in a mask and sunglasses so I don't have to autism-mask as much.
I mean, masks are medical devices. That's kinda what they're for. Banning them is just supporting the disease.
Sounds like a good case for Work From Home more than anything
