I know nobody wants to wears masks all the time, but in Japan among other places it is SO NORMAL to wear a mask if you have a cold or flu symptoms. Could we do that (with non-disposable masks) everywhere, please?

Also that way you don't have to talk to people when you feel sick.
Also probably helps a bit with air pollution, which is enormous and horrible who.int/health-topics/…
(I mean you still CAN talk to people through a mask. But it's not necessarily a bad thing to have a little, socially acceptable signal saying 'I'm sick! don't bug me unless you have to!')
Another thing I miss from overseas: in places where it's common to eat with your hands, there are almost always handwashing stations, with soap, in restaurants and usually outside of the bathrooms (as well as inside). We eat with our hands a lot. Make it easy to wash hands.
where did you get your favorite cloth masks?
