> To use masks effectively, we need to stop wearing them when we're scared, and start wearing them when we're infected. But I think the social change to do this will be difficult.

Not exactly. Just make it mask season and make everybody wear it. You don't know when you are contagious/infectious, and it might not be at the same time when you are feeling sick. So just make sure everyone wears it.

I don't think it's practical to insist that everyone wears a mask all the time.

Practical from a cultural standpoint or in terms of quantity? IIRC, people are required to wear masks when entering businesses in China now.
