It's not a potential confrontation in most places. Seniors who ARE exempt are getting arrested first and proving they didn't have to wear a mask second.
The harassment isn't worth the hassle. Plus I enjoy the increased anonymity. I also can use the 'mask' as a tool of mockery. Burkas, bandanas, or other ideas make for great methods of malicious compliance.
I wear a p100. If I'm going to be arrested for not wearing anything, I'll wear something that is maximum protection for myself and maybe even a NEGATIVE safety for everyone else, since spit shoots out the one way valve of this thing.
I'm not afraid of a virus. All of my jobs have a higher risk. All of my activities I do for fun have a higher risk. BUT.... I can't tell if I haven't gotten sick this year because of increased nutrition and lack of working (70 hour weeks don't leave much time for rest) or because I've been wearing a high end mask around all the greasy gross faggots in my city.
