If you wear one now, do you intend on wearing it publicly the rest of your life? Every flu season? Til it's "all over" and COVID is vanquished?

OR.........will you just quit wearing one when everyone else stops caring.

I do, even though it's not particularly comfortable and smells after some time. I imagine I look like a bank robber while wearing the mask + sunglasses when I'm out driving for work and can't be bothered to take it off only to put it back on in some minutes.

Other than breathing being a little restricted, I kinda like wearing it. You can go around without being recognized, so if you have any embarrassing shirts or clothes you wouldn't normally wear in public, this is your time to shine!

Yeah, I have to for a couple reasons:

1) The fine in my county is like over $1,000 if you are out in public without a ask
2) I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my nerves and muscles so I don't want to chance the virus just in case

I can't imagine myself not getting this virus though. One day or another I'm pretty sure like 99% of us are going to have to fight it unless the vaccine is truly effective and safe, then maybe not

I think wearing a mask is sensible and safe, but avoiding touching your face after taking one off is the real challenge. Wash your hands and you'll be fine I guess.

I also think face masks actually look pretty cool. Now I have an excuse to look like a ninja biker with my skull bandana lol. Plus, you don't have smile at strangers anymore in awkward situations, like trying to pass through shopping carts in a crowded aisle at the grocery store.
