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 mask around others if I’m not feeling well, or if flu or covid are spiking and I’m not up on my boosters yet, or if I’m in a crowded/higher risk space. most of the time I don’t & it hasn’t really mattered.
I’m really not convinced that being in the <5% of masked people is going to meaningfully help anyone else & I’m fine with the risk I’ve taken on for myself.
Yeah, helping people not die or develop crippling lifelong illnesses doesnt really help them
