As other said, you have to choose your battle. However, since it is mandatory since last Saturday where I live, I use a mask that allow me to breathe easily. (see picture below)
Good one!
Masks have not been mandated (yet) in my province, and since there are no criteria designs for a mask; never mind they are useless, who is to say a fishnet mask does not serve - who is going to tell you? Put another way (reading in the occupational hygiene professional world), if a person was cutting concrete and being exposed to silica dust (producing possible silicosis) there are studies and chart tables that tell them what kind of mask are acceptable. What is not acceptable would be a P95 cloth filter mask - and the bandana would be laughable. Here we are talking silica particulates in a test
range from 14 nm to 673 nm, and not biological hazard in the 8 -120 nm range (for the corona-bologna) and with not a shred of mask evidence for efficacy, with plenty to show masks cause harm. Thus, the prescriptive level for silica dust exposure would be a fit-tested rubber half mask (minimum) with filter screw on cartridges (and be clean shaven if male).
Nope. Forget the above, in news responses there are now parades of 'doctors' to berate the public for not wearing cloth masks to stop a 120 nm particle (I'm still trying to figure out how said particles miraculously survived in the heat of July when in February they said otherwise - I digress). If said doctors had read up on the disease of silicosis, for instance, they might remember that if it was a silica-pandemic of dust, a cloth mask would not ever be acceptable - testwise, so what can one say.
Here is a man at Tim Horton's (doughnut shop) in Quebec being taken down by masked police officers for, well for not wearing a mask - the protests are heating up, too.
When you think about it, if enough people said no way jose, no masks for us, the whole charade would quickly fall apart, and the ptb know it, they know they could never enforce it. It is actually people enforcing it on other people, and they are getting emboldened, by social means rooted in fear (and shop owners are caught in the middle).

In the clip above towards the end, Dr. Bonnie H has now had to come out and (cough) remind the people of BC that wearing a mask, should it be required - hint hint, is no problem. The problem is that Bonnie is being disingenuous, because she is smart and understands gases having worked in the Navy:
"She qualified in diving, as a flight surgeon, and was the only physician in the Canadian fleet at one time on a warship,"
She more than understands biological and chemical warfare, and more then understands what it means to stop a biological particulate. She understands O2 and C02, nitrogen et al. and it is sad to see her
here sweeping it all under the rug for Canadians.
