If I'm sick and have to run errands, yes.

Only if I'm unwell or (hypothetically, as I haven't run into this yet) at a venue that specifically asks me to. I do still keep a pack in the car in case I need them.

For something quick like dropping something off at the post office or buying something from a gas station, I might not. But other than quick stuff like that, I always wear my mask.

Why?

Havent been sick in 3 years. Granted, a year of that was mostly in lockdown, but still, its been 2 years since Ive been sick. I normally get a cold a handful of times per year. So I feel like it must be doing something.

No but I certainly still see them around. A coworker of mine still wears one of those black masks that are better than those cloth ones. I still got a bunch of 'em. No real reason to throw them out yet.

Tbh last year I just wore it a few times because I was both angry and depressed and figured it was an acceptable way to hide my face.

No. But I use controled breathing. Back when smoking was legal to do inside or I was riding around with smokers, I always controlled my breathing to inhale the least amount of second hand. So, now I just do that with adjustments, except with sickness. Just turn your head when passing people too closely and don't breathe in for a second. It's not fool proof obviously, but it's logical that it helps to be wary of spit particles and shit. Just the lil things that all add up. Don't make out with strangers under the bridge anymore. Whatever small stuff someone can change. Catching fish just to kiss them and throw them back.

I get sick easily because I have a weak immune system, except for covid for some reason. Even when my wife had it I didn't get it. The time we had to wear masks at work I never got sick. Due to the work I do I wear gloves most of the time too. As soon as the mask mandate was lifted I got a nasty cold. I've been really sick five other times since. I wear a mask still if I have to fly or take public transportation, or if I'm sick and going out shopping. I don't at work even if it helps because I work with hard core right people and I rather be sick and get them sick then deal with their BS.

I also find it funny those same people complain about people coming to work sick when we only get two sick days a year at a global company, I'm located in the US, but they freak out about people wearing masks. Pick a lane.

Those sound like 2 completely different camps of people. Or a politician playing politics. But most the time the same person isn't both.

Not supporting sick leave and anti-mask attitudes very much tend to come from the same crowd.

I don't know if this means coming anything from me (yea me, MOE!!!). I would never be like HOW DARE YOU!!! Sometimes wearing a mask is just like giving an average handshake. You can do it.....I guess this meek thing can lead to bigger things, but *sighs* I need another drink.

Somewhat. I stopped wearing one at work a couple months ago; I also went bowling with coworkers a few weeks ago, which was the first time I've gone maskless in a crowded public place since the start of the pandemic. I still wear one when shopping, but I'm starting to debate that as well.

Now that I'm about as protected as I'm going to get given the circumstances vaccine-wise, the question I currently ask myself is 'will wearing a mask negatively impact being social?' I would've kicked my own ass even a year ago for having that be a primary motivator, but after almost three years of being the only person in my office who masked up regularly, it's becoming more and more apparent how much doing so separates me from everyone else (and I certainly don't need any extra help being a loner).

This is such a dumb mindstate. They're potentially protecting you with no loss on your end. I can only see this mindstate if you feel slightly guilty about not doing it yourself and them doing it is a reminder than you don't make the same effort to protect others.

Then again, I have a very slight guilt and still respect those that are keeping up with masks. So, I dunno. Either way, you're a goofy ass for caring so much about others protecting themselves and others.

No. Community levels of transmission are low and of those cases only a small percentage are resulting in hospital stays.

Plus I'm in in the South so no one else is masking and haven't for a long time.

That's the main reason I'm masking up lol.

Also, I'm not as concerned about COVID-19 as I was in the past but I know at least a dozen people who've recently been seriously fucked up by other respiratory illnesses that a mask perhaps could've prevented. My sister and her family just got done passing around an illness that was definitively not COVID-19 or the flu but still had everyone on their asses for weeks. I don't want any of that tbqh.
