It's definitely not the same as one of those designer masks. They can definitely hide your identity.
I have threatened to get myself a Halloween mask to wear into stores, it would do just as much good.
I went to an auction yesterday, they said in the ad for it that face coverings must be worn. I did it, because the auctioneer is a friend and I dont want our idiot gubner to shut him down again but were I to wear say a Hulk mask, wouldnt that be a face covering?
