mask madness

I just went to my local Japanese grocer. Many of the customers still masked, in various varieties -- more the Asians clustered around the fish counter than the whites I saw leaving as I entered. All of the staff masked. But...

The staff were all in surgicals. And largely wearing double surgicals -- blue surgical over blue surgical. Whhyyyyy. This does nothing except make it harder to breathe. "Double masking" was supposed to be tight-fitting _cloth_ mask over surgical, to pin the surgical around your face, like a poor man's mask brace.

(There's also a dental thing of surgical over N95, but I think it's to protect the N95 from patient fluids. That's fair.)
