In the state of Georgia it's actually illegal to wear a mask in public/on private property without permission. I think they consider it a security concern, which makes sense in some situations. But really sucks for trying to not spread sickness. On the plus side, I've noticed a lot of doctor's waiting rooms have a sign saying you can ask for a mask if you have XYZ symptoms. But I wish it was common at work, too. For the same reason I wish handshakes weren't so common in business. I'm pretty sure I know the exact moment the flu was passed to me this year.
"(a) A person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he wears a mask, hood, or device by which any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer and is upon any public way or public property or upon the private property of another without the written permission of the owner or occupier of the property to do so."[1]
