Are you still wearing a mask?

The short answer is no, I am not. When COVID started, I never wore a mask, but it's because of where I live. Living in Tennessee, no one really cares or trusts the government. We tend to rely on our religious views and our own moral beliefs. I've had COVID a couple of times since it started, but it wasn't bad for me. The first time I had COVID, I had a runny nose. The second time I had COVID, it was some mild flu-like symptoms. It was never anything serious for me. Same for my family, and my church.
 
Yup, tbh covid or no covid I imagine I'll just keep wearing one anyway, its just a layer of fabric and I haven't gotten a cold / flu-like sickness in over 2 years, so I don't really see any reason not to wear one.
 
I wear it more as a courtesy for others. If I see others are wearing it I'm quick to put mine on.
 
I'm immuno-compromised, so yep, I still wear one. It makes more sense to than not.
 
Only where required or if I am really around a lot of people. Though I generally do keep my distance plus I hold my breath and keep my face away if anyone does get close.
 
I wear one only where required.
 
I wear one only when required.

There are times when I may wear one out of courtesy to other people. For example, when I'm around someone that immuno-compromised or elderly people I may wear one so that I don't breath on them.
 
I only wear mine where I'm required to. I didn't like wearing one at work because I work in a hot factory but I dealt with it.
 
I do it when businesses require it or if I go see my grandmother who lives in a living assistance facility.
But in general, no, because it is no longer a requirement.

If it was required again, I would likely wear it in public. But walking down the street or a hiking trail, nope, not going to wear it.
 
I always carry one with me but very rarely put it on these days.

My biggest problem with mask is not being able to see the whole face of the person I am talking with, I like to be able to read their expressions as well as hearing their words.

I won't wear a mask. I will stay away from someone when I am sick but I did that WAY before this virus even existed.
I live rural. We were concerned at the beginning but nothing made sense anymore. Fauci changed his mind every single day. Bigwigs even admitted dying WITH & dying FROM this virus were lumped in the same category. People are so afraid of dying that they forget how to actually LIVE.

While that is true, being sick with something else and contracting a severe respiratory disorder, i.e. Covid is more than likely going to lead to a decline in your condition. So while Covid might not have been strictly speaking the cause of death in all of those cases it was probably a contributing factor in the majority of them.
 
Nop. The requirement to wear a mask in public was removed here in the UK so I haven't worn one since then. Obviously, I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to continue wearing a mask, but I can't be bothered anymore.
 
Not really. I do still carry it with me, just in case I need to wear it - but, those situations hardly ever come up now.
 
I still take my nose mask to everywhere I go and I make use of it whenever I'm in a group of people. I'm still afraid to getting infected.
 
I randomly use a face mask now. First and foremost, I cannot breathe if I use it in public.
