I understand what you are saying, and I personally wear mine so people don't start any bullshit, but I don't necessary agree that wearing one is showing respect to others. If the govt told you that you had to wear a horse mask to be more safe would you wear it to show respect for others? What if the govt told you to wear a BLM armband, because it would show solidarity, and could help prevent the deaths of people from riots...would you wear one? IMO, the govt should stop pushing the masks so hard, start pushing for people to refrain from going out into public as often as they do, and encourage them to get outdoors to do some activities out in the sun. That would be more effective in slowing the spread of the virus than people going out to public places, wearing ineffective masks, and social distancing.
