I'd make a page for the Trope Workshop, but I have no idea what to call it... Any suggestions?
Four examples, as required to show that this isn't Too Rare To Trope:
- Soujirou wears one in one episode of Lucky Star to reduce his hay fever symptoms.
- Sailor Mars wears one in one episode of Sailor Moon when she's ill.
- Since they're required to be worn in operating rooms in order to protect the surgical team and the patient, they show up often in M*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H and other medical shows.
- Everybody - at least, everybody who gave a damn about other people (rephrase that slightly before posting to the wiki) - wore one during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Medical Mask" sounds to the point and simple enough to me.
