I live by Houston and masks are very common everywhere. I live IN Katy its do as you please but still alot of masks.
The rhetoric from the Government has peeps scared to death. I have friends, a very healthy younger (voting trump, Asian, naturalized new Americans) married couple and HE is very frightened of the CCP flu. Nothing will change it.
I used a fishing neck gaiter (SPF50) I bought 4 blackstrap gaiters before the whole mess, never would have occurred to me to use as a face mask (for the flu) but that's what I did...
