Only I’m sick or the place I’m entering requests it- the library, dispensary, pharmacy, doctor’s office.. I think that’s it. It’s in my purse if I need it.

If i'm sick or on a long flight.

I do in higher risk situations since I'm immunosuppressed from my Colitis treatments.

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.

I still wear a mask, 70% because I take care of at-risk relatives, 30% because people treat me better when they cant see my ugly face

Yes. If I am going out into a public space I will wear a mask, unless I'm outdoors and it's not too crowded.

I do any time I'm going to be around people for an extended period of time or around a large crowd. Concerts, long grocery store trips on a Saturday, in-office work days (I work hybrid now 😞), I'll put on on a mask. If I'm just running into the store to grab a gallon of milk because we're out, then I won't wear a mask.

My wife legit almost died from Covid, and it took her about 6 months to return to normal, so we are a little overly careful.

The only time now is if I'm somewhere that requires one, or if I'm sick/getting over bring sick.

Fuuuuck wearing a mask otherwise, I've filled that quota for a lifetime.

I do if I think I'm getting sick. I also wear one if I was getting on a plane.

I do when travelling in any capacity (public transit, airplane) and most of the time when I'm in close proximity to a large group of other people (grocery store, crowded indoor event, anywhere with poor ventilation). I am starting to try doing some unmasked social events with a limited number of participants. It was only in June of this year that I started doing this. Prior to that, I masked everywhere all the time, except with my "bubble" of friends.

Me at nights. I'm Batman.

Depends on where I'm at and if I or anyone I've been around was sick.

I still wear an n95 at the airport and on planes. Honestly I'll probably continue to do so indefinitely. Not getting sick on vacation has been great

I usually wear one at indoor concerts too. I used to get sick after almost every concert, now I don't.

I do, when I'm out. But I've become a hermit since the pandemic started.

Started again because of the forest fire smoke.

Sister's vet office is now offline again for COVID. Docs sick, most of the tech staff, most of the admin staff. When it hits, it runs through like a forest fire. One vet left because F the angry pet owners who think it's a personal insult they can't get special treatment, and he replaced one of the two who killed themselves (stress) last year.

They may institute a mask mandate again

• to keep the remaining staff healthy on return
• to filter their customers further because of high correlation of shitbaggery
• because docs are always masked so lower risk is now a work perq for them.

Me, I quit my job when they mandated return to work and I joined a union shop with 100% remote in the contract. I should mask up when I go to the store but I'm a dumb boy and always forget. I'm so vaxed it's like a bad hangover, but I don't have time for even that mess.

Only when I feel sick and am indoors

I do, see https://www.covidisairborne.org/ for tons of info on why we all should.

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

I do in most indoors public places but don't do it absolutely religiously. It really does work to not being sick, and wearing a mask inconveniences me less than being sick because I hate being sick. So grocery stores and whatnot, I wear one.

Only wear it on public transport.

I have asthma and the one time I caught COVID was the worst I’ve ever felt for the longest I’ve ever felt it without ending up in a hospital. I don’t plan on repeating it. I wear an N95 every time I’m indoors with strangers, or outside in a crowd.

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.

I always have one with me in case I enter a shop that has a sign up asking patrons to wear a mask. I used to wear them religiously, but 3 years is enough. Although I respect everyone who still keeps their masks on...

Every time I go to my doctor's appointments I still do. Especially when it's the anticoagulation clinic I go to since there are a lot of elderly patients who go there.

I don't really wear one much outside of those times, though.

I carry mine with me and wear it if i start suddenly coughing (to help alleviate others fears) or if in a super crowded place.

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.
