So you still wear a mask when you go out?

[thedarkstark]

I'm vaccinated and I've had covid twice, so no I don't wear a mask anymore.

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. 

 

If your glasses are fogging your masking isn't sealing correctly.

So every mask I've ever used.

Unless it's an n95 type mask there's no such thing as a "seal"

[Jason]

Pedantry about what a "seal" means aside your mask is blatantly not fitting correctly at all if your glasses are fogging.

[Jason]

You can also just pull the mask up your nose a bit so your glasses are sitting on top of the mask. It should weight the mask down and stop the fogging.

Don't know what to tell you... I wear glasses too with masks and don't have foggy lenses

This just in people have different shaped faces!

The bridge of my nose is quite wide and my eye socket is more on the concave side than most, I have a hard enough time finding glasses that fit me without looking ridiculous let alone worrying about a mask on top of it. The bottom rim of glasses doesn't come anywhere close to resting against my cheeks to "seal" a mask.

 

Luckily I don't "need" to wear glasses for most things, but in the summer when I had to wear sunglasses wearing a mask was a nightmare.

It's prolly cuz i got a big fat head, with big fat high cheeks, and a bit just slightly big enough for a standard blue disposable mask to not really latch on to my chin. And like most cloth washable masks don't even fit my head or if they "do" they are actually painful because they don't really fit. 

 

However, there are plenty of people who have these issues. I've seen it talked about a lot on reddit. Well, not so much these days, but it is an issue people have.

I’ve definitely had issues with my glasses fogging at work. It’s annoying. 
 

I don’t have to have my glasses on all the time, though. I see fine up close.

Do you get up every morning and test yourself regardless if you have symptoms?

Not once. Waiting for the rectal test kits to test myself daily

My hair isn't that long

 

Anyway I look close enough to this so feel free to imagine me as such

Beard is smaller than that and I don't have a buzz but it is close enough 

 

[Kal-El814]

If recommended to, required to, or at a place where employees are masked, I mask.

[legend]

Indoors, yes. Masking, much like vaccinating before variants can mutate, requires collective effort from the population to be effective though. And since we've run that experiment and found that America won't do it, I don't expect it to be that effective at this point. America is mostly just fucked  and it's going to be what it's going to be. I'll continue to do my part because it's pretty low effort, but I'm not expecting much protection from it.

[johnny]

only places that ask me to 

[Brick]

Yes. Not really if I'm going out to eat since I'll be taking it off anyway, but anywhere else, like at work I'm wearing a mask. Really only using surgical masks, which are better than nothing, but I do have a couple of KN95s, and used one of them. I'd like to get more, or get some N95s though since those are obviously better.

Yep; everywhere including the gym.

 

if you can’t workout with fabric on your face you need to increase your cardiovascular capacity first. I’ll do intervals in one.

I don’t wear a mask or work out

[SuperSpreader]

I stopped wearing one last fall-ish. Except in Mexico where everyone wears it. 

 

Maybe I stopped in winter. I don't remember.
