[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stopped a month ago, but have a cold so am wearing one until the cold passes (yes I tested for covid).[/quote]

Thank you for doing that. Have noticed a lot of the few unmasked ppl visibly ill lately (wiping noses, hacking cough) and I appreciate your respectful gesture during this bizarre time. [/quote]

It's the normal, reasonable thing to do. The binary pro-mask anti-mask thing is idiotic. Are you sick? Wear a mask if you have to go out. Are you feeling 100% healthy and well? Don't wear a mask. Do you have pollen allergies and are sniffly, but know it's allergies because you've experienced identical symptoms for the past 30 springs? Don't wear a mask. Do your allergy symptoms seem a little weird suddenly? Might be considerate to wear a mask until you figure it out.

Being able to assess situations is what normal, reasonable people do. Being pro or anti mask as an ideology is truly bizarre.[/quote]

I wear a mask when I'm in a crowded public indoor space with people who I don't know for sure are vaccinated. In my office, where we're required to be vaccinated and boosted, I usually take my mask off. Anywhere else indoors, I wear one, even though I feel fine and/or have identical allergy symptoms from every spring. Wouldn't say it's an ideology, but the cost to me of wearing a mask while I'm in a store for 20 minutes is extremely low, and the benefit (I probably won't give anyone covid) is pretty high.[/quote]

Given that you you probably won’t give anyone Covid even if you don’t wear a mask, I don't see how that’s a benefit of mask wearing.[/quote]
