In the past I've done some taping / sanding / painting and have one of those, not a respirator but a mask with attached filter cartridges, with something that could look like a biohazard suit. I've been tempted to go all out PPE just to show how absurd it all is, but then I second guessed myself that people would take it as themselves not doing enough.

having worked with patients in a hospital, you wear a mask to protect yourself when you go into a room with an infectious (or assumed infectious) patient to protect yourself, or when you're doing a procedure to protect the patient from you. in 10 years i never caught anything from a patient. it really is about knowing what you've touched and being hyper-vigilant about keeping clean contact areas. these people wearing masks while driving in their cars alone, riding their bikes, is absurd.
I never wear a mask even at the grocery store. I notice nobody is coughing and sneezing or has runny noses lately, perhaps the last few weeks of time off and self-care has improved basic health.
