Just when you thought American Idiots had demonstrated their Peak Stupidity,
they out do themselves with a new insanity...
Face masks made of mesh, crochet (yarn) or lace are now popular items being offered by online retailers.

INDIANAPOLIS As more communities and businesses adopt mandatory mask orders, supporters of an anti-mask movement are looking to make a statement. They are wearing masks that cover their nose and mouth but provide no ability to slow the spread of disease.
"I wore a mask that is designed for protecting your face in a paintball battle. You can easily breathe through it. I walked all around the store, talked to employees, and other shoppers, and every one of them could see my mouth," said a Florida man who posted a video showing him wearing a mesh mask to a Tampa Walmart. "It was almost like not wearing a mask at all. Nobody cared. That's because it's not about safety. It's all about compliance."

And there's a big difference between 'caring' and 'caring enough to get myself shot over it'.
You crazy, stupid fuck.
