If there is a super deadly virus out there making people drop dead, what the fuck is a mask going to to stop it?
As for not spreading it to other people - let me think, here's an idea for people, cough and sneeze into your sleeve, that's actually advice doctors have given for many years.
My company just got black masks with their logo. I cut eyeholes in one like Zorro. Haven't worn it anywhere yet.
This is the crap that rally gets me: The branding and stylizing of the masks. Like masks with team logos. When people spend a premium on something like this, it signals that they're planning on this crap being around for a while. Otherwise everyone would be just fine with the cheapest thing they can find because they're never going to wear it again. The people wearing the branded masks by choice are the ones I really get steamed about.
