Green says masks will be last to go

[MyManao]

I decided to get a better fitting and filtering mask

Because of the mandate or in spite of it?

Because, mandate or not, it seems to me protecting oneself from another's folly has become an individual sport, as opposed to the group exercise the gov tried to get everyone to cooperate through. So, where we all were, in theory at least, wearing semi functional masks who's best attribute was to limit the users exhaling breath, now if one wants protection we have to rely upon it at the point of inhaling exclusively. 

The mask I linked to offers a very good seal and almost complete filtration. And, since I became comfortable with it, I find the stress I was experiencing in being concerned about other's behavior when in close proximity has diminished remarkably since I am no longer dependent upon them for my own wellbeing.
