@Susan423   Do not "toss" them.  They will be needed again in the not too distant future.

@kaydee50   Yes, I walked in Trader Joe's yesterday and few were wearing masks.  Next stop, Costco...same situation.  However, I doubt this freedom will last long...For a short while, the ability to breathe.  However, I'm afraid you might be right, given the "expert" at the helm.

I will keep the ones I have because we are never sure presently what's around the corner.

While I have resorted to "non" masking in the supermarket we still have to wear them for a doctor/dentist appointment.   I always have one with me just in case I feel uncomfortable in any situation or if it's unexpectedly required to wear one.

Sadly, we don't know what this fall has in store with the varients, but let us all hope for the best.

I am keeping mine. Have read this is not the only pandemic we will have Man Mad  

I can also use them when I clean since I have a dust allergy!

 

Right now I still wear one in stores though!

I haven't worn one in a couple of months. I just tossed them in a drawer. Someday I'll get around to throwing them out.

I was at the Doctors office last week they still require masks,  but that's the only time I have wore one in a couple of months. I keep a box in the car just in case I need one.

I’d hold on to them. Coronavirus if it returns is more apt to come back in cold dry weather, fall. If there is a booster, we don’t know how easy or hard it will be to get it. We don’t know that if you become infected with Covid19, if vaccinated, can you transmit it. So until this is way behind me, I’ll wear a mask under certain situations, to protect myself and those who are not vaccinated & vulnerable

I'm not getting rid of mine. I still usually wear them when I go out.

I have seen less and less of them on the streets and gutters.  I did have to wear one on Monday to a Dr.'s appt. since it is still required there.  I had my hair done on Saturday and no masks were worn by anyone.  As far as other uses I do use them more now for dusting ect..... for my allergies.

There are still several places here that require face masks.  I'd wear one anyway.

 

I used masks before the virus for household projects, so I already had a supply of N95 masks before we needed them.
