Health & Lifestyle Do you wear a mask?

[Excommunicado]

In most places in the world, due to the pandemic, if you go to a busy place, 8 out of 10 people will be wearing a mask. There are 2 reasons for wearing a mask: to protect yourself (a flawed logic, in my opinion) and to prevent yourself from spreading germs (a more logical explanation). The question to you is, do you wear a mask? If so, why? If not, what is your reason for not wearing a mask?

I rarely go outside, so this question is barely applicable to me, but when I do go outside I don't wear a mask. I stay away from people, use hand sanitizer and don't touch anything I'm not getting (whilst shopping). Wearing a mask is extra, in my opinion.

No, but I might settle for one of those plastic shield things. An actual mask inhibits breathing and isn't good for you.

No, I don't wear a mask. I'm autistic and find it difficult to wear one because of my sensory issues. Some face coverings aren't good for your respiration system either.

I don't wear it often. When am walking alone on the road I don't put it on until I start approaching large crowd that I can put it on to protect myself from being contaminated if at all and I don't cover my nostrils for long for that reason am always trying to avoid large crowd and be alone that I can only cover my mouth because covering both my nustrils and mouth I found it difficult in breathing

We can never be too old to dress up for Halloween. It's lovely to see you spreading some positivity on the forum. Unfortunately, Most people now will associate masks with COVID-19 because this is the first pandemic that has happened for centuries.

I was a little weary about wearing a mask myself because I had heard rumours that it can affect your breathing and I was worried about that, however, doctors have since come forward with video proof showing that wearing a mask does not affect your oxygen levels and it's best to wear one to protect yourself and others. I now wear a mask when I am in stores and will remove it when I am outside until I need to enter another store since they made it mandatory for you to do so unless you have a medical reason or you face a fine of £100. It's a pain and it can be uncomfortable but it's definitely worth it to protect yourself, family and others.

I always wear a mask. Keep hand sanitizer handy too. Better safe than sorry!

I plan to just survive right now. My life is too precious for me and family.
