An important component in getting everyone to wear masks is strangers starting to comment when they see others without masks. As part of that process, some people will be overzealous.

I'd say that an important thing is to have the mask visible and somewhere that is easily accessibly (like around the neck) so that a person who sees you will think "ah, yes, they have a mask and if I get close I believe they will put it on"

Do you need to have it on? Regulations say no, science says probably not at 100 feet, but maybe.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
