> There are no downsides to wearing a mask.

Besides the obvious effort required and the monetary costs, as somebody who wears glasses and commutes by bike and train I can name a couple others. After biking to the train station my breath is heavier than normal, and having to put a mask on when entering the train made my glasses fog up, so I would usually wear it under the nose (even those with a valve, because they still made it hard to breathe after biking, although a little easier). Otherwise I would be unable to use my phone nor laptop and I would have nothing to do for most of the commute. My glasses would also fog up when entering indoors locations during the winter, so I would have to clean my glasses and mess around with the mask to make the air come out from the bottom. There's also no clear upside for me given that I rarely get sick, the last time I had a fever was in 2022 and the time before that was 2017.
