Poll of the Day > Do you still wear a mask due to Covid-19?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well?

To medical places and crowded areas. They won't let me have a 4th shot.

I do due to work requirements. I dont wear one outside of work though.

Only in medical facilities and I very rarely visit those.

No, the pandemic ended back in April.

Well, thats a secondary reason now. I wear one because it helps my allergies and helps with wildfire smoke.

Haven't been required to wear them in most places for months bro.

Only place I have to wear one is work.. and even then you'll be lucky to see one out of ten people wearing one properly

Is the Prez wore one whenever he was out and about and still caught it.. twice .. chances are you can't dodge getting it if you're in a crowd

Gonna be required at DragonCon this year

But that's cool because I'm gonna incorporate it into my costume

Only at things like doctors offices. Other than that, no.

It has been more than a year. I didn't wear them last fall when I was teaching, and I didn't wear them for months before that.

Speaking of masks, they made a video game called "Pulling No Punches" where you can brutally beat and maim people who don't believe in wearing a mask or that the virus is real.

Only PC and Linux though. No console :(

Only in the few places I'm required to do so

Yes, whenever I go somewhere indoors.

When I go to the store yeah

Mostly no, but definitely in a medical office and 'it depends' on public transit.

If I'm around a large crowd in public I do because I never got the vaccine.

yes, i'm not in public for very long each day so it's not a hassle

I came down with COVID 3 weeks ago. I suspect I got it when I went to the dentist. I couldn't wear a mask, and nobody working there was wearing a mask either.

I still do when I'm going to indoor public places.

If the establishment I am going to asks me to I will. Will I do it for my choice? Most likely not. I don't really care one way or the other.

That being said I am fully vaxed because of work and I am 95% sure I had Covid before it was a major thing here. I had all the symptoms in December when things started making the rounds in Feb/Mar IIRC. Never been tested but I am confident I would show the markers of having have had it.

Only if I'm going somewhere that requests patrons to wear one. I keep one in my car just in case. Most places no longer request a mask be worn. Pretty much just medical facilities.

Lol no only at hospital where its still understandably mandatory

Only at places that ask for/require masks, which arent many places anymore. I think Ive worn a mask once or twice this year.

And even in hospitals, you can't legally actually be forced. They still have to help you regardless.

This. Requirements being dropped is 100% a political thing that has nothing to do with sensible public health policy or the actual state of the pandemic. The number of people that think "people are just tired of having to worry about it" means the problem is actually solved is honestly pretty alarming, given how insanely delusional that line of thinking is. Wearing a mask costs me nothing, so why wouldn't I do my part to keep myself and everyone around me as safe as possible?

But also if you go out of your way to endanger medical staff for no reason when they're trying to help you, you rank among the slimiest pieces of shit imaginable, so I strongly advise against taking advantage of that.

I wear a mask when in crowded places and at work (since I travel in a chase van with four or five other people). That, and to show solidarity to my hubby, who works for a not for profit mental health provider (I won't mention which), and my daughter who is autoimmune compromised (has rheumatoid arthritis).

Ok? And why would you desire to go without?

only when required

@MagicalPrincess

On a normal daily basis? No

But for a couple weeks, we had to wear them in base. We just got told today that we dont have to anymore But we arent sure how long thatll last

Link is back. Hyrule must be safe again.

Yes. Spend a lot of time around people at work and while taking the bus.

Masks are still very much culturally ingrained where I am. I definitely wear one at work, especially since Im working with kids, and I wear one in public indoor places. I dont like wearing one outdoors, but if Im in a crowded place Ill usually opt to wear one. I cant wait until masks are no longer a necessity, my acne has never been this bad even when I was a teenager.

Sounds rather cathartic actually, I like this a lot! I don't encourage people to attack people that don't wear masks, but I understand the desire, and I'd rather someone do it in a video game than in rl.
