fitness Do you still wear your face mask?

[Heatman]

Do you still wear a mask when heading out since after the pandemic of corona virus? Even though COVID have been contained, it doesn't mean that the virus is gone completely. There are still some mutated strains which people are exposed to.

Do you still wear your face mask?

I only wore one where it was required.

Unless it was a N95 (or an equivalent), it really wasn't stopping your "droplets" from contacting others - only some of it. Some of it isn't all of it so people were still getting sick regardless.

The only reason I ever wear it now is when I bike at night with my light on in the summer because it keeps bug out of my mouth.

I stopped wearing a mask after I got both vaccines when COVID was first a thing. Other than that, no, I haven't worn one. Doctor's office used to require one but they stopped that after a while.

Same.

Except, I custom ordered a dual camo mesh mask, which was essentially N0. Since it was double layered, and I have a beard, you couldn't see through it to tell any difference.

Never got the -vid. I might have, because I had the worst cold I ever had for about 2-3 days, but I tested negative. Suffice it to say, I didn't read the instructions right and took the test wrong, so I'd say it was an invalid result. Either way, wouldn't care because there'd be nothing I could do for myself if I did know I had it.

The clinic I go to for my testosterone shots still requires masks, but, it also has a hospice upstairs. So, I wear a real one out of respect to the residents, as I lost my mesh one.

A neck gaiter might be better because you could also probably find one with reflective paint on it. Keep the bugs out and ensure you're seen by others on the road. Also, can be worn during the day as a necklace to keep the sweat from dripping down.

Didn't get them. Threw away the "free invitations" to get them. Don't regret not getting them one bit.

You can find many more people who regret getting them than those that chose to sit it out.

But, your body, your choice. I just hope they are safe in the long term for everyone who decided to get one (whether by choice or coercion of losing a job).

I never got the vaccine too and I was never exposed to the virus. I was very careful throughout the heat period of COVID but I also think my immune system helped too in keeping it out.

My uncle was forced to get all his shots or he lose his job. He didn't have any other option that to do it. He regrets doing it but then it was out of his hands.

I threw away my face mask almost immediately COVID was contained. The last time I used one was when I took a friend of mine to hospital for her kidney dialysis. I needed to wear one if I must be in the room where she was having the dialysis done.

I would still mask in crowds or on public transport. Although COVID are down, I keep an eye out for any airborne illnesses like the flu. Besides, it's become just a habit for me. It's like adding a slight feeling of security.

 

[Unvarnished]

I still wear my mask especially when the cold and flu seasons are at their peak. Protecting ourselves is paramount. Better to be safe than sorry. It comes naturally wearing a mask, and I feel fairly secure in crowded settings.

 

[Laurentta]

Yes, i still wear my face mask. As a medical student, one has to out on face mask often when one is in the hospital.
