Wearing a mask is vital to preventing Covid-19 infection
I’m wearing a mask because I think they are a reasonable intervention and in the hope that me wearing one encourages other people to wear one. (It sounds like they’re more effective at protecting everyone else than protecting the wearer). I‘m not sure which simulacra level this is (1.1, game theoretic axis?)
You’re not limited to one simulacrum level per unit of information. What you’re describing is just combining level 1 (reasonable intervention) and level 2 (influencing others to wear a mask).
Yes, also in the hopes that it helps encourage others to wear them. As Silver_Swift says it’s fine to use that. It can even be Level 1 - you’re providing a true Bayesian update to others about whether masks work and what the consequences of wearing one would be!
