Masks are placebo prevention for COVID19 to a large degree.
However, masks as placebo play an important role in holding things together for us.
The number of people on antianxiety medication in the US is astounding. And for the most part, those that are on that medication tend to do OK with their medication.
But some are a hair trigger away from completely freaking out. And that number isn't a small number. Perhaps you know someone like this, or several someones like this.
Maybe wearing a mask is a way to prevent these folks from freaking the hell out AND also giving some perception (though illusory) of control amongst the rest of us.

I still question the masks' usefulness in terms of spreading COVID.
