In my city, it's been normal to wear a mask when outdoors (especially when driving a motorcycle) for something like 5 years as air pollution worsened. It doesn't help that much, but it's a bit better than nothing.

So I wear one now, just like I did before Covid.

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.

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 wear a mask to work if I'm sick but can't call in. People give me odd looks but honestly I kinda enjoy not having to wear as much make up because of the mask lol

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.

If i'm sick or on a long flight.

Only when I feel sick and am indoors

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

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...

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

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

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.

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

I put one on when the AQI here was around 300

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.

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.

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.

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 don't anymore. I have all my boosters, and I live in a rural area where there are rarely crowds anywhere I go. I also have gotten over a lot of the fear I had pre-vaccine. I had covid for the first time in January and honestly I was relieved that it was very mild. Thank you scientists!! And I still have my stockpile of masks in case I ever need to leave the house if I'm sick.

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.

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.

Started again because of the forest fire smoke.

Only wear it on public transport.

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.

I still do but at this point it's to prevent me from catching a cold - I like not getting sick and wearing a mask is barely any effort.

Once the hospitals around here stopped requiring them in April this year, I stopped wearing them. I haven't gotten covid yet (as far as I know) and I haven't been vaccinated since the bivalent one last year since they haven't approved another one for all groups yet.

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.
