China has had the ability to do Biometric recognition around masks for about ten years now. Hoodies and sunglasses and stuff help but you're crazy if you think the government can't run a video through a program and identify you by build (arm length, leg length, torso width and length, shoulder width, neck length) approximate weight, walking gait (including step length, arm swing, hip shift,) or by using head / facial features such as head shape, eye width, skin 'texture' ear size, height and shape when they are available. China has been using those 4 methods. Build, Weight, Gait and Shape for a long time, so has google. Beyond that all those "Make yourself old" or "Anime yourself" apps have only helped refine the AI's attention to detail.
I'll still take the excuse to wear a mask, but don't kid yourself, unless you're wearing a fat suit and lifts while walking with a limp they know who you are.
