Serious question, with all this surveillance, would it become a thing to always wear a full mask in public.
I know, feels weird to ask that post pandemic, but here we are.
We aren’t post pandemic. They just want you to think we are.
We are though. COVID-19 strains have become endemic, which is the step after pandemic if the disease is not eradicated. So it's like the flu now.
There are clothing that messes with it but the issue you will find is that with no one wearing them it puts an even bigger target on you.
Convenient they did that with the masks too.
Well that was my point, what if dressing up with masks and glasses (similar to ICE) becomes a trend.
It surely isn’t illegal so if enough people do it regardless of political alignment, it could break their process.
A lot of cameras ID you by your eyes, so a medical mask wouldn't really work. If you use a mask + something like Reflectacles, you'll probably be okay.
