I am very late in asking this question, but 10 months in to this pandemic it is obvious that face masks will be a normal part of life in shops and transport etc for the foreseeable future. Currently I'm walking around like Bane from Batman in a painter and decorators mask. I have seen very few patterned or 'nice' looking masks, mostly people are using the generic surgery looking ones which just depress me a bit. Which do you have / use? Do you think it is trivialising to have a 'fashion' mask or doesn't it matter?

I have both kinds of masks, but only bc I got a custom mask from work. I don't think it matters, and I believe sooner or later, putting on a mask will be second nature , not unlike applying deoderant or brushing your teeth. If the mask actually helps seems almost irrelevant now. In the off chance that it does prevent the spreading of deadly viruses, it's worth the slight inconvenience...imo. The mask is practical, bc it symbolizes solidarity, and sends the msg that you care about your fellow man, and I take comfort in that alone.
@SW-User Similar thoughts to mine, really. I think a lot of people do it for others benefit or just for the visual reassurance. I would be comfortable enough without one as long as reasonable distancing is happening.
