I have noticed the same—people of Asian extraction wearing masks more often than non-Asians. I assumed it was because of picking up the mask habit during bird flu and SARS 1 in Asia.

I found another mask use this morning in the cold—it’s almost as warm as a scarf, especially one you left at home, and more comfortable.
