Subject: Masks Are All The Rage in 2020

Written By: BornIn86 on 07/08/20 at 7:52 pm

Most stores seem to be selling their own types of masks these days.

Have you got into the normal and bought a cloth mask you liked?

Where I live, going out with a mask is mandatory and punishable by fines. Might as well wear a stylish mask when I travel.

We (me and hubby) use homemade cloth masks.  (I sew.)  I made them with patterned fabric and wash them frequently.

I just use one that a coworker’s wife made. He brought in a handful one day. I’ve gotten a few compliments as some say it looks like camo.

The most common pattern I’ve seen around here is Michigan Wolverines.

I'd love a Michigan Wolverines mask!  :D  (As a one-time UM student...)

I bought a handmade tie dye one and it’s really soft. I really love it. I went to my mall and I couldn’t find any store there that sold them surprisingly. Half of the people here don’t wear them for some reason.

They're selling masks now at my supermarket but a bit expensive.

I have a regular N95 mask bought by my dad (I still live with my parents due to COVID). I don't wear it as a stylish thing or whatever.

Definitely. A lot of masks out there are ridiculously overpriced. It's also become a fashion accessory at this point.

I have many of the disposable ones. And I only have two cloth masks. I never wear them to look stylish, just want to be safe.

Well, the pandemic is definitely gonna set the sadly grim tone for the early 2020s even if a widely available vaccine is mass-produced by 2021. Things probably won't go back to normal until at least 2022, and that's me being generous.

It’s getting to be almost a force of habit, like putting on a seat belt. One thing is if it helps me not get covid then I’ll probably not get the flu either which will be nice.

No, but if people wear masks when indoors in places such as shops and try and keep sensible distances apart when with people not in the same household then we can then go and out about as much as we want to.

This. Some things that can only involve crowds in close spaces such as nightclubs, are out. But many things can be accomplished with the adjustment of masking and distancing.

Not so unusual. M*A*S*H featured actors who wore masks for a good portion of the show. I was always amazed that they were able to convey such emotion with masks covering much of their faces. That's good acting.
