Imagine a place in which open carry weapons were mandatory, though, on the chance you’re able to help someone who is attacked. Many would be angry about the overinclusive rule. It would be more about the message to others about safety than actual safety. “Let them help themselves, if they’re so risk averse,“ you might say. In at least some places, “masks all the time” isn’t entirely about function. Do masks really work better in casinos and schools, but not churches and funerals? Or, as in Maryland this week, do they work differently in public schools and private schools? People sense that the mask in some situations is partly about a certain kind of authority and conformity — and they don’t like to conform with their face and body.
