Well, The mask isn't to protect the person wearing the mask from everyone else, but to protect everyone else from the person wearing the mask.

Ironically, the Redshirt will be the last one standing here.

Well, him not wearing a mask doesn't imply he's not infected, only that he's generally reckless: that's what's going to kill him :)

important question: did u like the tv show "The Avengers" (1967)? It reminds me of monkey island 1!

important answer: I know about it, but I don't think I've ever seen it.

Important remark: I've seen it and I like it a lot, but can't remember anything resembling MI1: care to elaborate?
Anyway, it was a very fun show, IMHO the seasons with Emma Peel (4 & 5, IIRC), were the best.
Also for Ron, check out "The Prisoner" (1968) if you can, AFAIR people wanted to lynch Patrick McGoohan (creator & actor) for the final couple of episodes, while some people (me included) adored them: as far as polarising things go, this should definitely be your cup of tea.

Red shirt: Hey, how come I wasn't issued a face mask?
Mr Spock: Providing you with a personal safety device intended to prevent a viral infection with a 2 to 14 day incubation period would be illogical as you have an estimated 0.00% chance of surviving this away mission.
Red shirt: OK, that makes sense...Wait what?!
