David,
I don't know if any such mask, but I think you've hit upon an incredible idea. Why don't you take the initiative of having some made and then advertising them, maybe on Instagram or Etsy. While you're at it, make some for diabetics and cancer patients. You're in a position to start a whole new product line and maybe make a lot of money. Go for it, brother.
As to your underlying point, you are right. Too many younger people think they are immortal, even though, if you believe the statistics, nearly half of them are obese, have undiagnosed hypertension, diabetes or heart disease and one day, maybe tomorrow or in twenty years, will realize that they're no damn different than us. It's why you read so many news stories where the wife or kid reports to the press "but he got so sick and died/almost died/was on a ventilator for a month and he's only 40 years old with no preexisting conditions." My reaction is, "Really? Of course he doesn't. But he sure seems to be carrying a gut in the photo."
The hell with these ignoramuses, make your message masks and put me on your contact/customer list. I'm ordering a dozen from you right now.

Subject: Masks with a message
Hello all,
For the first time since the stay at home orders (10+ weeks ago) my wife allowed me to accompany her on a grocery trip. We both had on masks, and even gloves, but noticed that some of the customers and even employees did not. My wife wondered if a mask that said, something like, "I am wearing a mask because I have Coronary Artery Disease" might help others understand the value/import of masks. Your thoughts? Is there a mask like this already out there?
Best wishes for a safe and happy day!
