What is your reasoning for going maskless?
Mine is that a person I live with a lot has been going maskless. When I go out with them, I feel there’s no point in wearing a mask if they’re not going to. If they catch an illness we’re both going to regardless. I’ve been criticizing people in my head about no one wearing a mask, but I have to admit, now that I’ve been out without a mask I can see the temptation of things “feeling normal.”
I wear a mask on airplanes and public transit to protect against general respiratory illness. I do BJJ where it isn’t really viable to wear a mask, which is probably my highest exposure risk. For grocery stores I had always been wearing a mask until recently, when some undiscernible shift started making it feel pointless. But I’m thinking I’ll keep it as a flu season practice at least. Other than that I work from home; before I started working from home (pre-2020) I always picked up various illnesses from the office. I never wear a mask when just walking around outside on the street. Mostly I follow the lead of my spouse who is a doctor, although I’m more of a masker than they are outside of work.
One person I know professionally is still in total lockdown on a farm somewhere outside the city because of his immunocompromised wife. Another couple I know still wears masks everywhere, even just walking around outside. Nobody else I know wears a mask at all.
