I'll agree with you here. Lots of mask wearing is virtue signalling.
Before the mask laws in my area I'd say 40% of people wore them inside stores. That means 60% of people were fine without them.
Of the 40% I'd say that 20% were genuinely scared and 20 were virtue signalers. The virtue signalers are the loudest bunch and because they are more vocal (and the media likes them) they make it
seem like they represent the majority.
Of course government mandating masks make it
seem like everyone is in agreement with them.
Much of mask wearing is optics and political theater.
