Andy Samberg has a hilarious song along these lines, called YOLO. [1] I’m surprised it hasn’t been referenced more during the pandemic, especially when multiple-masking has been discussed. It is also a hilarious and catchy song in its own right. this video

Amusingly, Lonely Island's latest music video, just posted 5 days ago, expresses pretty much this precise sentiment. It's called YOLO and is available at this video .
