You dont get sick from peer pressure, you get sick from pathogens. You dont go to the doctor because of peer pressure, you go because you are sick. Wearing a mask is no different. You dont decide whether to wear a mask because of peer pressure, you decide to wear a mask or not wear one based on whether you're sick.
Peer pressure doesn't change whether someone is sick or not, therefore it should never influence what someone wears on their face or head.

Trying to get somebody to do something based on what everyone else is doing, thinks is safe, or thinks someone should do.
Most people wear masks, and some think that peer pressure, or even something worse than peer pressure (like deaths) is going to change the way somebody else does things, especially if peer pressure convinced them to put on a mask.

What happens when the teacher is too lazy to check your submissions, so instead your classmates have to do it for you. Usually done during English classes, especially during drafts.
Arrogant, Annoying, Over-condescending English Teacher: Everyone, once you are finished with your first drafts, give them to a buddy for peer evaluation!
Student: Why don't you do it yourself?
Arrogant, Annoying, Over-condescending English Teacher: This is for your own good, so that you guys can help each other and give suggestions
Student: Aren't you just lazy? Why you always lyinnnnn

One partner in a committed relationship that is incapable or unwilling to carry their fair share of the burdens in the relationship: to whit, child rearing; child pick-up/drop-off; household chores; caring for elderly parents; grocery shopping etc. etc. Thereby, making themselves an unfair burden on the capable partner in the relationship. The functional equivalent of another child.

I'd love to go to Happy Hour with you. BUT my Husband took the afternoon off to play Golf, so I have have to pick up both kids, go to the store AND cook dinner.
Friend #2
He's such a Peer Child

The rather elaborate technique of being so busy that you delegate jobs to your peer when they come to check on you.
A near reversal to the term: "Volunpeered".
