Every crisis polarizes people to one degree or another.   The opposing sides are passionate about their own position and ultimately character judgments are implied, even if they are not directly stated.  For example, if you are taking all the recommended precautions in our present health concern; washing your hands, staying home and wearing a mask if you have to “go out,” you might be inclined to think those who are not, are “bad people.”  On the other hand, if you are not following the recommendations, you may be inclined to think of those who are diligent about them as the “bad people.”  It’s rare for a person to say, “Well yes, I am the bad person in all this, I am living wrong and those not like me are right and therefore are good.”  Even in their self-identified badness they feel justified, and therefore “good” about their own position.  This is all very dangerous for multiple reasons.  I am concerned primarily with one of them.  This is simple.  Hanging moral superiority on lists is a tool of the enemy to distract us from our real situation.  Paul made this abundantly clear in his early arguments in Romans.  No human being can claim “moral acceptability” before the infinitely holy God.  We need more than hand sanitizer to gain access to His presence!    We could go through life always getting on the “right” side of the lists, self-justify, and end up eternally separated from God!  According to God, “There is none righteous, no not one.”  When it comes to real goodness/righteousness, we need outside help!  We need a righteousness not our own.  Thankfully, the gospel contains a revelation of the righteousness of God and how to obtain it, mask or no mask .
