Masking outdoors with no one around. I heard on a podcast that it was still good practice so you'd remember not to touch your face, but it was mostly just hot and miserable.
I know a few people who still wear surgical masks outside when the pollen levels are high because it helps with allergies. Not perfect, but the masks reduce enough of the pollen breathed in to be helpful without the sweating problems from n95 masks.
Yeah, I moved from the US to Europe in 2021 and wore a mask daily everywhere outside of my bedroom (I had eight housemates, including a very nutso Q person, who was trying to get covid to hasten his natural immunity and who did not shower for the ten months we lived together- he was the second worst roommate) until probably June of 2022. It wasn’t until then that I realized I have allergies to things that grow on this continent that I never encountered at home.
This is the reason I will now always fly with masks. Just to keep myself from touching my face and getting sick at the start of a vacation.
I always fly with masks now because I’ve realized how many people are harbingers of disease in the airport.
That's where I got COVID is on a plane where my husband and I wore an N95 the whole time. He was immune suppressed I think for another reason, which is a whole other story, and I think that's why. He ended up hospitalized about two weeks later and while we had five vaccines apiece at that time and our COVID was mild, it sure didn't help later.
Me too! I also had special touch screen gloves my husband insisted I wear everywhere in the dead of summer so I wouldn't touch anything with bare hands. I looked ridiculous in summer short sleeves wearing gloves. I also had safety glasses.
