Work in the medical field. Everyday masked
I still use a mask daily. I actually like it. Also going without a mask in public in terrible. Car smoke, death animal smell, piss smell, random people coughing, etc. A mask prevents me of smelling all of that in a pretty effective way.
Also dont have to force smile wearing a mask.
Started again because of the forest fire smoke.
I do if I think I’m getting sick. I also wear one if I was getting on a plane.
I wore one when the air quality was bad from the forest fires, otherwise I don’t. Don’t have a problem putting one on again if Covid or some other virus got bad again. But since it is summer here, wearing a mask makes me sweat to death
I wrote it reularly for 2 years because my job required is to wear them.
I got COVID anyway despite that. It wasn’t that bad. I felt like I had a flu. No appetite, sore, tired, and shivering for almost a week. It sucked, but I don’t feel like I needed medical attention, or anything that laying in bed couldn’t fix.
After I was no longer required to wear it, i stopped.
If I’m indoors with people other than immediate family, I’m wearing a mask.
I will wear a mask if I know that I am going to be potentially packed in in a space with little in the way of positive air flow.
Never. Corona hasn’t really been a concern in Denmark since very early 2022
Me at nights. I’m Batman.
Mostly when I feel unwell, but not enough to call in sick at work or at the store. Also at home when I share a room with somebody while I’m ill.
I do, but i really should upgrade to an N95 like mask.
I wear a mask when I’m on a short plane trip because the odds are high someone will have a airborne illness. And the effort is minimal compared to the probability of exposure. But otherwise I don’t wear one.
Isn’t any illness on a plane an airborne illness?
Edit: oh I’m dumb ignore my comment please
Sure I guess. I mean there’s illness that spreads by touch - fecal-oral transmission. Very common in any place with people. People don’t wash their hands. Touch things. People touch those things. Then eat. Bam. Stomach bug/shits.
Oh, hi Dad!
the effort is minimal compared to the probability of exposure
This is basically always true with masking. It’s so dang easy.
I do pretty much always. I don’t at the gym or in the (semi rare) instances i eat out. Shit’s not “over” and i have an immunocompromised friend i’d like to continue hanging out with.
If I’m feeling sick, or my family is, I will wear one to work, the whole point of them is to minimize spread of disease.
If you’re feeling sick you should stay home.
I agree, but the bosses boss wants butts to warm the seats. I make sure those days have time taking to bosses boss. Some day, they may get the point.
Indeed. Western society tends to be individualistic and forgets that masks are primarily used to protect those around you from disease.
Tends to? They beat us over our heads with their selfishness through COVID.
“Why are you wearing a mask?!?” Because I didn’t want to get you sick, thanks for returning the favor.
This right here. It just makes sense and is the ethical thing to do for those around you.
I think this has been the norm in asian cultures since way before covid.
Pollution is our reason, and if a public place is too crowded with possibility of ill-mannered sneezers. COVID is a thing of the past.
Japan and Korea. Ain’t no such thing in South East Asia.
We wear mask becaise of pollution 🙃
Just out of curiosity - no judging, but why do you go to work when feeling ill?
I work from home, with about one day in the office a week, if it’s something minor, or I think it’s just seasonal allergies, I’ll still go in.
Not an American, I take it?
No work no money. No money no food. No food, die. RIP
A lot of people get paid by hours worked so not showing up means a lower monthly income. And hourly contracts don’t have sick leave in many cases. At least in several countries around the world.
