Just saw a summary of a 2017 article from Japan and their use of masks.  In essence the article claimed that mask wearing in Japan has devolved into an addictive mental illness.  Even when there was no reason to wear a mask many Japanese felt a compulsion to wear them when out in public.  Part of that could be cultural but it is telling that mostly leftists (who we know from prior studies have much higher rates of mental illness than independents and conservatives) are claiming they will continue to wear their masks despite the science.  It will become a new way to meaninglessly virtue signal.  Ya can't make this stuff up!  LOL....
