We all know at least one guy (or gal) at this point who has one "mask" that they wear all the time and never wash. They're not a fan of the lockdown and only wear the mask when they have to. When they enter a store, restaurant, or bar. Same dirty mask.
It's not so bad when what they use is a bandanna they wear around their neck when not in use or a gaiter which is also worn around the neck or perhaps pulled up onto the head as a do-rag. They're not so bad.
But the person who has been wearing the same mask for months now - that's pretty gross. You know the guy. They'll hang the mask on their rear view mirror. Keep it in their pocket when not in use. Or worst of all - put in on the table when they're seated at a restaurant or bar. The microbiological equivalent of putting a dirty diaper on the table.
It's literally unhealthy for that person not to wear a clean mask. I'm not saying it has to be a clean mask all the time but the same mask for months is gross. Like how it's OK to wear the same jeans for a couple of days but the same jeans every day for months? That's behavior which is only acceptable if you're homeless.
And I'm not some Felix Unger-type making a screed here. I'm just pointing out another way that this lockdown and the stupid "rules" are counter-productive. And if I just described you? For your own health - please wash you mask or get a new one.
