Biggie Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Because I haven't worn a mask in months? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 No. Haven’t for months. Nobody is requiring it around here, nobody wears them at work any more, everywhere else I see maybe 1% of people still wearing masks. It would feel kinda pointless for me at that point. The thing that gets me is the occasional person who is still wearing one, but only kinda. Like, where are you wearing that shit on your chin, my guy? Just don’t bother at that point.

skillzdadirecta Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Not only do I still wear a mask when I go out, I wear one when I leave my apartment to go to the mailbox. Outside in open air, no. But indoors? Yes I still wear a mask. Have never had Covid and don't plan on getting it... a summer surge seems pretty likely where I'm at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokra Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I have been, yeah. I was the only one at work that was still wearing one. I went to my sister's wedding this past weekend and didn't wear a mask because everyone was vaccinated and tested negative before. Just tested positive today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister feels terrible that a couple people got sick at her wedding, but I've just been telling her that 1) we all know what the risks are these days and 2) everyone has had a pretty mild case so far. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pickle Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’m wearing one right now on the bus. I still wear a mask to a restaurant until seated. Wear at work unless in office. Wear at shopping stores. Going to see sigor ros now and will take it off at my seat likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 No, I haven’t in months. I’m just tired of them. I’m vaxxed and boosted and I just don’t really fear Covid at this point. I only wear one at work, where it’s required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I think once I recover, I will go back to wearing a mask. I'm not necessarily afraid of COVID itself (so far at least it has been very mild for me as I said, being vaxxed and boosted) but I'm more wanting to 1) avoid recurring infection and the subsequent down time and 2) avoid long-term consequences which are unknown at this point.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Sure do! And not simply because of COVID, colds, or the flu. I wear one because I've come to enjoy the notion that half of my face is concealed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erehwon Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I do at work and when I'm around others. As much I want to avoid catching it myself, I really want to keep from giving it to my parents who are caregivers for my grandfather. The long term effects are rather concerning as well. Living in Indiana, it seems like I'm one of the only ones still wearing one. They aren't that bad. I've gotten used to the KN95s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I haven't worn a mask in a few months. My work doesn't require it anymore and I don't go outside or interact with anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do this if it wasn't for my glasses. I have thought of getting some kind of cloth mask that is pretty ineffective but covers most of my face. Nothing I hate more than people recognizing me and wanting to talk to me. There is a reason we haven't talked until now. Because I don't want to talk to you.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I stopped because everyone else kind of stopped. You see a few people here and there but I really only go to the grocery store anyway. Basically I wore it long enough to stop feeling like a jerk if I wasn't wearing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my son brought it home from school so the mask probably wouldn’t have helped. But yeah anything to just not get it would be best. The potential of long term consequences scares the hell out of me, but I really think everyone is destined to get Covid at this point. My taste and smell went away a few days after testing positive. It’s only been 11 days but it fucking sucks not to be able to smell and taste. The other day I sat right next to a burning candle. One of those crackling wood wick candles that smells up the whole room with whatever scent it is. I couldn’t smell it at all. That’s been the scariest part for me so far. Fear of spoiled or rotten food. If my kids would leave something in a toaster or stove would I smell anything burning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 All that being said if a place still requires a mask I'll wear one. Like several weeks ago I went to the eye doctor and they required it the whole time even during the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I stopped wearing mine roughly a month ago. Certain places still require a mask and will still comply. I’m triple vaccinated and feel about as good as I think I’m gonna be out there in the wild. Sadly my little niece who’s just over a year old, brother and sister-in-law have caught it from a kid at her nursery Both mom and baby are congested and weak, but my brother says he doesn’t even think he has it.

AlwaysDyingX Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Nope. Required at work and wont even wear one there. At work we had a bunch of people within the last two weeks all test positive and had cold like symptoms. I was around all these individuals for long periods of time and I got nothing, Superior German genes I guess. Wash your hands and don't let anyone cough directly in your mouth. Mask don't do shit.

gamer.tv Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 No, which is funny on reflection as I was so pro-mask during peak pandemic. We were told however, that there was little point in testing, so through that, it led to me not overly caring. If I become I’ll, I’ll treat it as such, if I’m healthy, I’ll enjoy the freedom. I may change my tune at winter time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
