I'll gladly wear one if asked to, but the last time I did so out of my own volition was probably a few months back.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'd rather not deal with angry anti-vaxxers in public, who are seemingly still mad that some people want to wear masks occasionally in order to protect others.

I wear one indoors or at the drive thru. I'm considering dropping the mask, but the last time I researched it, the recommendation was doing what I was already doing.

I've been using it when going to the supermarket. I hate it because my glasses get all foggy, but I hate getting colds even more, so...

I am going to a concert at a small venue and the band has asked people attending to wear masks. I will and won't complain about it. Ever complained about it when they were required to be worn all day at work, even when I primarily work outside and alone.

I work in a hospital where they are still required in some areas, so I always have way least one on me, and I'll wear it in some other situations was well.

I do when taking public transportations or visiting high risk relatives. Two of my relatives died due to Covid, one had long Covid, still hadn't recovered. I don't want to accidentally spread it to anyone else with a weak immune system.

When I'm sick, or even when I am suffering from airborn allergens. I always bring one to social events, in case the host asks us to wear one.

[-] wilberfan@lemmy.film 1 points 2 years ago

Inside with other people around, sure.

[-] hitagi@ani.social 1 points 2 years ago

Depends on where I am but generally I do. In the countryside, almost nobody bothers wearing a mask anymore.

[-] Spacebar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At planes and airports because I get sick every time I come back from a trip. I'm so tired of bringing back a souvenir cold from every trip.

I mainly avoid doing anything with any appreciable covid risk. If I can't, like, if I have to go to a doctor, in person, then I will wear a mask. Turns out I still think giving people brain damage is a morally bad thing to do. And if you do any basic modelling of virus spread, any one infection becomes the ancestor of many thousands of cases in the first two years. From there you just apply the long covid rates and death rates, which shows trivially that spreading covid is morally equivalent to killing people, and maiming hundreds of people. So I do whatever I can to avoid that, including masks where appropriate, but more importantly, avoiding situations where you even have to mask. In my view each individual's right to go to a restaurant or whatever does not outweigh the consequences of covid spread (before you even factor mutation in). Of course, I realize this won't solve anything at a societal/global level. But individual morality is still a thing in my view.

I wore one when the air quality was bad from the forest fires, otherwise I don't. Don't have a problem putting one on again if Covid or some other virus got bad again. But since it is summer here, wearing a mask makes me sweat to death

My kid still wears a mask obsessively. Her face is unevenly tanned. She wants to wear it for bike rides and literally everything aside from being at home.

[-] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

I probably should now. I didn't need to much for the first couple of years of the pandemic because I basically just stayed home and only put one on when I was going to be around people.

But the issue is I can't ever seem to get a good seal and between breathing into my eyes and wearing glasses it just becomes way harder to deal with and now I'm vaccinated I don't feel as much of a thing for it.

I'll probably wear one more during cold season as I use to get one once or twice every year before the pandemic.

That said, there are still places I will wear it, like the doctor's office.

I still wear musk most of the times.

[-] CaptFeather@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

I'm up to date on my COVID vaccine so I only wear a mask if I'm sick

[-] linkshandig@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago

I’ve been wearing them consistently since 2020 but I’ve recently moved to Oregon where cases have been some of the lowest levels in the country and I’ve been thinking I’d like to stop soon

[-] mojo@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago

Never, don't see the point and invited company you won't like. Who cares if people disagree with you? It's fun to be provocative lol.
