2020 versus 2021 masks

2020 "YOU HAVE TO WEAR THIS" 2021 "NOW YOU HAVE TO WEAR THIS"

A two-panel comparison shows a regular blue surgical mask labeled as the required face covering in 2020, while 2021 requires a bright red full-face protective mask. The joke exaggerates pandemic safety measures by making the next year’s mask look absurdly heavy-duty and intimidating, so it works as a reaction to increasingly strict restrictions.
