Do you still habitually wear a mask after the pandemic and if so, why?

I think after the pandemic, it's become common for people to wear a mask if they're feeling sick although I've noticed some people wear it habitually.

I don't get the point of wearing a surgical mask because it won't protect you from inhaling viral pathogens; they decrease the probability of you spreading it to someone else if you are already infected so they don't offer you protection unless everyone else is wearing one. If you want to protect yourself, you should get a KN-95.

As for me, I do wear a surgical mask when I'm working in the microbiology lab and that's because if I breathe on a sample I'm working with and contaminate it, the entire experiment I'm working on can be ruined.
