Are You Still Wearing A Mask When You Are In Public?

I was just wondering if you are still wearing a mask when going out in public? I must say that I do as I am a very high risk. Some people look at me in a strange way because of this. But I don't care, my health is more important than what they think.

YES, I do. We went out today and I needed to buy something, I wore it before going inside the store. I do not care about those who look at me.

It does make sense that you do. Some people still do here. Although I don't. However, I don't have any health concerns.

Well….yes and no. Generally I don’t wear it in stores. However, when I’m in “close quarters,” such as the check-out lane or in a public restroom, I still wear it. I also wear it when it’s a crowded area. I have allergies so I have a mask that I wrote “sneezin’ season” on. That gets a laugh.

Yes, I do still wear a mask in public. So does Pretty. We're both high risk and prefer not to take chances.

I do not wear a mask anymore, but my friend, Dominique, actually wears two masks, one on top of the other. Medically speaking, two masks don't make it safer than one, even if it seems like it would. But if it makes her feel better I won't be saying anything. She's so cautious that she wears her masks in between bites of food when we go out to eat. In no way do I blame anyone for wearing a mask. More power to people who choose to do so. No one should harass another person for continuing to wear a mask.

I still wear a mask when I go out. In fact, about 40% of people still wear mask here. The staff at eateries and shops wear mask as well.

@marlina people ask me why I wear double mask and I tell them that the CoViD is still around. I get a lot of side eyes and crazy looks.

Though I carry a mask when on public transport, I don't wear them generally. I have had the virus and three jabs and hopefully, I don't have to worry. Now fewer people wear the mask here. It is a personal choice and it is better to be safe than sorry.

here in Zambia it is still mandatory in hospitals and other medical facilities....I also wear it inside stores and in crowded places. I never had Covid, I travel a lot so I guess it works so will not stop wearing it.
