Alternative Word For Face Mask

We are trying to be positive. Our Governor just applied the mandate. A lot of pissed off people and non compliance. I have put a lot of sweaty hours in, donning a tight p95 particulate mask. I don't feel too sorry for the person behind the counter in their air conditioned store and their loose fitting mask. I would like to lighten the situation instead of escalating the anger. I have convince my retail working wife to be more facetious than outright angry. Asking her to compliment people on their "face covering" instead of just clamming up and being angry.
Sooo, What ya got for alternative words for a mask? This should be good.
