I think it should be 100% the wearer's choice whether they want to show the world their face or not. Saying 'thank you' to someone opening the door is just as good as a smile. Nobody 'owes' anyone else anything.

You were allowed to wear a veil before the pandemic as well, and no one is going to stop you now.

I adopted the Asian custom of wearing a surgical mask when feeling under the weather four years ago, for the record. Got a lot of weird looks on the BART, but also some supportive ones from, you guessed it, Asians.

This is pretty much what I'm intending to do from now on, and retrospectively it is crazy that I thought it was okay not to.

Same here, with the N95 mask because I had those for fire season. Same thing. It was fine.
