Phantom of the opera and surgical mask. 3/4 coverage and plenty of class.

If I’m feeling sick, or my family is, I will wear one to work, the whole point of them is to minimize spread of disease.

Indeed. Western society tends to be individualistic and forgets that masks are primarily used to protect those around you from disease.

Tends to? They beat us over our heads with their selfishness through COVID.

“Why are you wearing a mask?!?” Because I didn’t want to get you sick, thanks for returning the favor.

Just out of curiosity - no judging, but why do you go to work when feeling ill?

A lot of people get paid by hours worked so not showing up means a lower monthly income. And hourly contracts don’t have sick leave in many cases. At least in several countries around the world.

I work from home, with about one day in the office a week, if it’s something minor, or I think it’s just seasonal allergies, I’ll still go in.

This right here. It just makes sense and is the ethical thing to do for those around you.

I agree, but the bosses boss wants butts to warm the seats. I make sure those days have time taking to bosses boss. Some day, they may get the point.

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…

I’ve relaxed with it quite a bit recently. But I still like having them on me at all times. There’s times I like wearing it. Especially certain places like the doctors.

I struggle to see why I shouldn’t wear a mask in certain situations. e.g. the supermarket, where I’m not there too long, am hardly talking to anyone, it’s indoors with lots of other (unmasked) people. There are almost 0 downsides to wearing one in that situation (for me at least).

COVID is still killing a lot of people, and even if it doesn’t kill you, it sucks to get it. So yeah, makes sense to me to mask when you can.

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.
