No.  A very small percentage are still wearing them where I've gone including airports, airplanes, theaters, etc.  

 

But don't throw them away.  They will be needed again in the not too distant future, IMO!

not using them unless it is "required" somewhere.

 

RARELY see people wearing them these days (airplanes, trains, grocery stores, shops, office buildings, restaurants, bars) and the few i do see are mostly older people.

 

my mom will be 83 this year and she is not wearing one.

@kaydee50   Gave away, discarded most of my delightful hand-made masks—once I realized what a mask needs to do.

 

Exclusively wear KN95.

Amazon has a fabulous collection of rainbow, tie-die, themed, rainbow colors of KN95.

I wear them (as required) to doctors offices.  Also, to the grocery store and the pharmacy. That's pretty much it, for me.  I don't mind the masks.

Yes. We wear a mask whenever we are in a public building or setting. We cannot risk exposure. It is an easy thing to do to avoid being ill.

No. I ditched my mask a year ago. They aren't required anymore, even in medical facilities. Occasionally I see people wearing a mask, but almost nobody does. 


Same^^^  SW Missouri. I am current on all boosters.

Re: Still Wearing Masks?

[ Edited ]

I still carry one in my car and in my coat in case I come to  place that requires them. (All medical offices and facilities still do around here.)  The Covid Emergency Mandate is set to expire on May 15th, so it will be interesting to see if anyplace requires them after that.

 

The interesting thing about the purpose of masks is that wearing one is supposed to protect others from YOU as opposed to protecting yourself from others....so if the majority of people have stopped wearing masks then the purpose for them is gone.

Just curious . Areyou Still wearing one or have you seen a lot of people wearing them?  I noticed in some stores people still have them on.


How about you @aj1980? Do you still wear a mask when out and about?

No, but I try to stay away from crowded areas. I always stand a distance away from others, but I always did, even before covid. This year ( while still wearing a mask) I caught the flu. I never had the flu before in my life, so much for masks!
