My prompt is for Photorealistic image of passengers waiting in line at the Security Xray section of an airport.
Everyone was wearing a paper covid mask. Didn't ask for that. Because including a series of negative prompts and findally worked up to: 
And later became: Photorealistic image of passengers not wearing masks waiting in line at the Security Xray section of an airport. NO MASKS. NO MASKS. DO NOT INCLUDE MASKS ON PEOPLE'S FACES!! Make sure people are not wearing masks. 
EVERYONE in the image is wearing a COVID mask. How to make it stop.

Correct answer Monika Gause

Firefly doesn't do negative prompting. Describe the faces.

Don't even think of masks (let alone mention them) when you don't want them in the image.

Instead describe their faces, smiling, beard, makeup, whatever

The first prompt didn't even mention masks. The only time I mentioned them was when they showed up on their own and I tried to get them to go away.
