and wearing a mask makes you feel better then do it.
Unlike so many others I am not at all qualified to make fun of your question or your concerns, I don't watch television often but in the footage I did see the medical professional were usually wearing a mask when in a questionable environment or dealing with suspected cases of swine flu, so I would assume the mask must have some benefit.
I recently attended a NSW educational showcase night in Sydney and a couple there were wearing masks a few people commented on it but in a questioning way rather than mocking them, most of us assumed they had their personal reasons.
To answer your question no I won't be wearing a mask when I next fly in August/Sept. but if I did see others with them on I wouldn't think much of it and I certainly wouldn't make fun of them.
