What is the thought process which goes behind wearing a mask on a video call meeting?
[a] virtue signalling
[b] Idiocy
[c] <insert your answer>

[c] Forgot to shave

Definitely b. Unless the virus can be transmitted virtually

[c] in a semi-public or public place.

c) Hired a homeless person to sit in for them while they went to the bar.

Depends, it likely is b but the person could be in the same place as someone they're not living with or isolating (including a public place). Another option (something I unfortunately have experience in) is that they had some pests issues or anything where one should absolutely wear a mask (be it N95, gas mask) for their safety (especially when substances have been used that one shouldn't breath).

Masks are cool, no more caring about facial expressions

It really helps your future carreer when you wear a mask while negotiating about ransom on a video call...

[c] ugly face
