But no, no one wants to wear these full time forever. The collective danger[1] of a pandemic makes them worth the inconvenience. No one would make that trade for routine seasonal flu.

Celebrities also wear them if they don't want to be recognized, and people wear them on planes because it's thought to help with dehydration. The important thing is that it's normalized, so you don't stand out by doing it.
