When they lift the restrictions on face masks, will you still wear yours?

[Anonymous]

Yes still wearing one because I'm not a fool

Not wearing one because I'm not a fool

I don't even wear one now

When you are outside the home, a mask has benefits (excluding protection from COVID)
1. Prevents dust to go into your nostrils
2. It keeps your face warm (if you wear spectacles and it's winter/cold, then it's your biggest nightmare)
3. If you are insecure about your face, it hides it from others
4. If you want to yawn, you don't need to put your hand on your face
5. If you are passing through an area which is kind of Smelly, then you don't need to manually cover your nose as the mask is doing just that

Makes sense?

I only wear one so I can get in and out of the stores as quickly as possible to reduce my exposure time, a metric seldom mentioned but which is- nevertheless- important.

Having just recovered from COVID, I will still wear it. Not a huge deal to do so if that means someone else is even in the slightest bit more protected because I did.

[Bricealan]

You too, sweet pea? I am still recovering, and need a few more days, Now wearing the N95 mask, as I think the paper ones are useless, although, up until a couple of weeks ago I thought they were safe.

@Bricealan

Yep. I got it. I work in a doctors office so that doesn’t help one bit. I was sick for like a good 24 hours. It then started to go away day by day.

I took a rapid test 6 days later and clear. Sucks, I know. I hope you feel better soon! Always welcome to chat with me if you get bored. I did. 😊

[Bricealan]

Thank you, 'pretty" I would welcome that. BTY, where can I take a rapid test?

[PrettyPriya]

@Bricealan

You’re welcome. Here, I get them from the office I work in. I did a bit of research and seems like they are available online through Amazon in your country?

Let me ask my good friend and nurse @SecretsofKB

@PrettyPriya @Bricealan

I'm here! I think I heard you can order rapid tests from the government. Like 4 or something for free. If not, you're going to have to do some calling around.

Rapid tests are getting hard to find in my area.

[Bricealan]

Well, right now, I feel like a fucking "leper". It has been how long now, two and a half years, almost three! I have been careful as hell, wore a mask when I needed, observed social distancing, et cetera, AND I LIVE ALONE. ON THE 13 of January, I got sicker than hell, and was tested positive with COVID! So much for being careful! Masks my ass! Those paper masks must be useless! I am now self-isolating, per the Orange County, Health Department, and Hoag Hospital, Urgent care.
I have NOT A CLUE as to how I contracted this bullshit disease, and I am just angry as hell with all of the misinformation on how to protect yourself from it, as I now, am a victim, and have no understanding of how or why!!!
If you are not wearing one now, you had better, or count on bending over, putting your head between your legs and kissing your ass goodbye.

It’s not mandatory now the Supreme Court said mask mandates are unconstitutional. As so many people have argued since day one. I really feel bad for younger generations as they really don’t know what the definition of liberty is. Furthermore there are so many mixed results on studies regarding masks it’s ridiculous. Do what you want and screw the government. As far as businesses that require them well if they want my business then they won’t make me wear one.

[exitseven]

The only time I wear one is when I go to the doctors office.

[Wise4myage]

A, but only where its required, otherwise hell no.

[Reijen]

Nope. I don't even wear it when I go out now.

[Cringe]

Yeah

[libbieberry]

Yes I will do
