    It would seem the answer depends on “for what?”

    To prevent virus transmission? Maybe not.

    One should wear a mask when robbing a store/bank.

    ditch witch I do stupid crap, so you don't have to

    Imma go with Option B. Just remember to slip a little padding under there to rework the curves of your face if you decide to wear one to a seditious event like a gun show or pumpkin spice festival (pretty sure those will be declared a hotbed of white supremacists soon) They have software now that can map your face based on the contours of the mask, particularly those clingy neck/face wrap ones.

    madmax Far right. Bipolar. Veteran. Don't push me.

    Here's my take FWIW.

    I wear a mask to prevent the elderly from fearing my presence in the grocery store. It's not that bad. And they feel safer. Bear in mind I'm 62 so elderly is relative. They drank the koolaid and I don't fault them for it. My Grandma use to think the National Enquire was a reputable newspaper. I wonder where that batboy born to a Brazilian couple is today.

    I don't really go to stores a lot anyway. And since I'm a geezer (or close) being a greyman is much easier than fighting with Karens.

    ..but I vote.

    Short of a full self contained biohazard suit and respirator........ For Covid anyway. Plenty of other good reasons to wear a mask though.

    If you already had the virus or the shot, no reason to wear one as far as I'm concerned.

    After reading the Facebook Post in the last of the OP’s post, If it happened to me, there would be a Federal District Court case filed the very next day, for Violation of my Constitutional Rights, and the price I would ask, in compensation would be 5 Million US Dollars plus ALL Litigation Fees and expenses...

    Exactly.
    Maybe I'm too mean to get the flu/CCP-Bug. But I've never had the "normal" flu, don't get the shots, and wear the %^& face-rag just to appease the koolaid crew and real elderly. I'm 67, which isn't really old in my limited point of view. Although I know a lot of folks much younger than I that get everything floating around the western hemisphere and whine about it continuously.

    Meh -
    No shirt
    No shoes
    No Mask
    No service. just that simple. The store owner has a sign, I can mask up or go elsewhere.

    Most of these folks have no choice.

    they are not gonna get your for shots or masks... they will just put in enough barriers that wearing the mask or taking the shot is easier.

    example
    a friend of mine live/works in Dubai. if she doesnt take the covid shot she has to take weekly testing for covid and has to pay for the tests.

    I generally wear the mask when shopping etc. not because it does anything to stop a virus, it doesn’t, but it does lower the probability of altercations. Stay off the radar.

    However, I have thought about making one with a message on it such as the following:
    Masks; symbolism before science
    Masks = subjectification to the state
    Masks; placating the paranoid with no science involved
    Masks = fake science
