Who still wears their masks

Not normally only in work and the advice on that is forever changing(hospital), but then again I’m not going into crowds or out as much as I used to as have adapted to occupying myself at home.
 
I don’t and haven’t for a long while, I very rarely see anyone wearing one these days. I was at the doctor last week and no one had one on
 
Not in general, but if I'm going to my Dr's, hospital or an airport I'll put one on. I got COVID a few weeks back.
 
I wear one in medical places and on the rare occasions I go into shops. Not with my close friends as I trust them to keep me safe. I don't go out if I have any cold symptoms as my asthma flares up too much.

I do not believe they stop air-born viruses like c19 so would not wear one either to protect myself or others. I feel sad when I see others still wearing them in late 2022 .

Yeh that's why I don't use an umbrella in the rain the rain just passes strait through as every one knows.

The people I know who don't wear one seem to be the rebels in our society who just won't wear one just to say I ain't doing what you tell me to do .

I've only ever wore one when told to by signage to get in somewhere.
Mine isn't about rebelling it's about having a serious lung condition that makes it suffocating.
I had covid in February but didn't go to hospital.

How do you know how vulnerable they are or even why they are wearing it. Perhaps they don’t want to spread the virus they themselves have. All the evidence about properly worn ffp masks (not under the nose baggy pieces of cloth where I’d actually agree with you) shows they do help both with transmission and prevention even if it’s not 100%. Whether you want to wear one or not is an entirely different discussion.

If I don’t believe the world is round that doesn’t make me right when the science says otherwise.
 
I dont wear a mask now. Been to the indian store today up the street.He is the first person
That I have seen wearing a mask for some time. As some people locally have had
Covid. I will be wearing a mask from tomoro. Don't care really about fashion
It's safety In the end.

Oddly umbrellas work though.. the evidence for masks is pretty poor.

So next time you need an operation kindly inform the surgeon he can dispense with masks mind you when using an umbrella it's still possible to get wet say if your using it as a prop while dancing in the rain.
 
I still wear them if I am around people or at the drs or opticians. Have seen quite a few wearing them where I live.

That's it then some people do, some people dont. Well up to the individual in the end.(for whatever
reason) but going to wear mine. anyway. Surelly it will make some different. Better than none
Maybe.
 
We can go on about this forever. People always have their own judgement in the end.What ever it is.
I do, he/she doesent.what does it matter in the end.Let everybody decide for themselves.

Well it kind of does matter. If I choose to wear a mask it does no harm to anyone else. If a person with covid (flu or whatever else) chooses not to wear one they potentially will make others also sick, maybe seriously. Even if people only wore them when they know they have some sort of bug it would help the nhs cope this winter

The very obviously sick man on the plane 2 seats away in September from me made the choice not to wear a mask. I ended up in hospital as a result. It’s quite possibly had he not coughed sneezed and spluttered everywhere he would not have infected me. Who knows who else he gave his covid & flu to and what their outcome was.

But yes short of legislation (and even then) people will make their own choices. And there’s nothing any of us as individuals can do about it
