Current Events > Do you still wear a mask when you go out in public?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im noticing that very few people wear masks now. I think I remember hearing something about masks not being needed anymore but I still wear mine out of habit.

i havent been out in public since september.
but yeah, if i went out in public now, i would wear a mask.

Interesting. I guess it depends on the area because Im definitely seeing the opposite

Yes. And thankfully, most places I go, all of the workers are still wearing them as well. But maybe only 40% of the other customers are wearing their mask.

I do whenever it is required by the institution or county/city in which I happen to be.

Yes.

Also, my job still requires it, as do the buses.

randomly wandering outside, no. if I'm going in a store or something then yeah

Yep

What's a Pandemic Enthusiast?

Yes. And I will for quite sometime.

lol, never did

100% of the time.

Depends on the place but most public areas yessir though I don't wear it hanging out with people

not anymore

I still wear them on the rare times I go out. Pretty much no one else does, though.

Never unless required to for work.

I havent worn a mask since last summer, and that was only because the post office required them. They stopped requesting them though, so I havent since.

The majority of the time. Sometimes I won't bother if I know I'm gonna be super quick somewhere or if it is a large store where I won't get close to anyone.

The only time that I'd wear one outside is on the way into or out of a place where I'd be wearing one. I usually just put my mask on when I get out of my car.

about 50% of the time

Not really. COVID cases in my area have significantly dropped, since people here actually did what they were supposed to.

if im around others yes like in a store or anywhere where there are crowds

Only when dealing with patients at work or if I'm at a doctor's office tbh. I rarely leave the house outside of work in a non-pandemic time anyway.

I'm fully vaxxed and so over going the extra mile when millions of idiots couldn't be arsed to do anything. They should be the ones masked or staying home.

And I honestly, I feel like there are more dangerous and pressing issues in America right now, thanks to the same people who had spread the anti-vax bullshit.

In shops, at work, and on the subway

All indoor places still. I have run into my local deli a handful of times without one, though. I've seen less and less people wearing them, especially since around the start of 2022. In places like CVS it's maybe 1 out of 5 people wearing one now. On the street it's a real rarity.

nah, haven't worn one since march

I do not currently.

yes. most of the time.

I never stopped and I doubt I ever will.

When we dropped the mandate here in Hawai'i it was down to about 50% of people wearing masks, with most of them being older folks.

With the rising numbers lately, it's more like 75% wearing masks.

a few of my co workers had covid this past month or two so yeah I will keep wearing my mask. I don't want any of the horrific symptoms I've been hearing about from covid

Because of the recent surge, masks have become mandatory again where I work after a couple months of them being optional.

Indoors, yes. Outdoors, hell no.

No I don't.

In general, I don't. But if a business I'm going to requires it, I have no issue with it. Still required on public transit here too, though I rarely use that. I'll definitely wear one on airplanes when I vacation later this year, though.

Indoors always pretty much, not outdoors for the most part although I wore one in a march I went to the other day because everyone was in really close proximity.

I spend most of my time at my sisters with her babies and her husband is an ego-driven businessman who loves to travel around for big boy business meetings where everyone has COVID so it kind of feels like a matter of time before he gets it and infects all of us, but well see.

I still wear one. I typically always wear one indoors with other people. Outdoors I usually keep it pulled down under my mouth and only pull it up if people are approaching me.

only if if the establishment i am entering requires it

Not since they stopped being mandatory

Yes, Japan is still mandatory

Yes indoors, no outdoors.

No. I caught it 3 times now (am vaxxed and boosted).. And.. i live between red states where no one wears them anymore anyways. I was very careful for most of the time, but my co worker that I would live with at times kept this kids in school. Not much to be done there
