Facemask Accessories: A Potential Boost To Public Health?

Source: USA Today
In a consumerist society obsessed with social media, facemask accessories are all over instragram, as published here in USA Today.

As long as the accessory do not compromise the facemask fit and function, I am all for it, as referenced in the article.  If accessories increase facemask adoption in public, so much the better.

I am, however, skeptical of the public health impact of facemask accessories. Sadly, for those fixated on their individual liberties in the time of a public health crisis requiring a collective response, facemask accessories will have minimal positive impact. 

Facemask accessories are most likely for public health converts.
