    Since mask resistance is still one of the main drivers of the coronavirus epidemic, I want to remind designers that this is one of the greatest opportunities I've ever seen for a designer to both do good and become famous at the same time.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1280820916822388736 …

    If you're a designer or marketer, one of the most valuable things you could do right now is to create a mask that people want to wear in order to seem cool, even if they're against masks.

        There are many designs in various shops right now, even Louis Vuiton created something recently.

        Oh, google doesn’t help me now, Louis Vuitton may not be the brand I meant, even though they do have masks too...

        I still think playing on people’s selfishness rather than selflessness would be a better way to get people to wear masks. Decreasing potential viral load would have been better messaging, or hell just avoiding spit talkers should be pretty high up there since we’ve all met one.

        All this conversation is missing one important reality; a lot of people who can't be bothered to wear masks simply don't see COVID-19 as a top priority.

        I saw a Louis Vuitton mask yesterday in Newport Beach. Would this count PG?

        Aren't there masks with the US flag or MAGA on it or some such?

        What ever design in mask basically closed nose and mouth up to chin. Designs not protect ourselves.

        I think there is a huge need for a mask which is comfortable to wear for long time.. doesn’t cause stuffiness or “suffocation” ... prime reasons due to which people keep removing masks especially in offices .. leading to more spread
