'Two weeks to flatten the curve' didn't help. It was a variation of the 
emperor's new clothes. Many people were privately thinking it was bullshit 
but kept their mouths shut. Then someone yelled 'Bullshit!'

Between being cheap Chinese products and my beard which defeats any sort 
of seal, I considered the masks to be a fashion accessory and kept the 
same one in my pocket for social occasions until it became too disgusting 
even for me.
