I mainly avoid doing anything with any appreciable covid risk. If I can’t, like, if I have to go to a doctor, in person, then I will wear a mask. Turns out I still think giving people brain damage is a morally bad thing to do. And if you do any basic modelling of virus spread, any one infection becomes the ancestor of many thousands of cases in the first two years. From there you just apply the long covid rates and death rates, which shows trivially that spreading covid is morally equivalent to killing people, and maiming hundreds of people. So I do whatever I can to avoid that, including masks where appropriate, but more importantly, avoiding situations where you even have to mask. In my view each individual’s right to go to a restaurant or whatever does not outweigh the consequences of covid spread (before you even factor mutation in). Of course, I realize this won’t solve anything at a societal/global level. But individual morality is still a thing in my view.

I was in China last month where mask-wearing is frequent and not stigmatized. They had a surge of Covid cases, so I wore a mask on public transport. It’s a total no-brainer there.

Back in Canada, I don’t wear it as much because I’d be in much less trouble if I caught it here. Still wore one when visiting an aging relative in a medical facility.

I am going to a concert at a small venue and the band has asked people attending to wear masks. I will and won’t complain about it. Ever complained about it when they were required to be worn all day at work, even when I primarily work outside and alone.

Me and my partner are both immune compromised, so yes, still masking in indoor public spaces and large outdoor crowds.

I’ve been using it when going to the supermarket. I hate it because my glasses get all foggy, but I hate getting colds even more, so…

I work in a hospital where they are still required in some areas, so I always have way least one on me, and I’ll wear it in some other situations was well.

I bring it around with me everywhere I go, just in case, and I always wear it at the doctor’s office or if I’m sick. Mostly it just stays in my pocket nowadays though.

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 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.

At planes and airports because I get sick every time I come back from a trip. I’m so tired of bringing back a souvenir cold from every trip.

I wear them only if I have a cold or a cough myself now, or if I am traveling on a plane. I still carry a mask with me at all times though.

I wear one indoors or at the drive thru. I’m considering dropping the mask, but the last time I researched it, the recommendation was doing what I was already doing.

Inside with other people around, sure.

Planning to do so in winter, only stopped this spring. Not catching a cold all the time is amazing.

If I’m sick, flying, going to be in a crowded area, or there’s air quality problems, yeah definitely. I hardly ever get sick anymore and it’s great. If I do get sick, people around me don’t.
