Not even nurses I know wear masks outside of work here.

    Yes, I still subscribe to the idea that you need 2 of these three: physical distancing, outdoors (or extremely good HVAC), and masking. Concert outdoors? Mask. Grocery store? Distance and mask. Indoor concert? No way to get 2 of three - don’t go.

      Nice summary. That’s how I’ve been doing it, but without realising it quite so succinctly

    I do in shopping malls and other crowded locations air conditioning. If I’m outdoors, I don’t

    I have been getting maybe a bit lax with masking, but I still mask in high risk areas. I am currently in an airport with an n95 mask on, but during the trip I was on I frequently had it off when I felt more secure.

    On trains on buses of course, and then whenever I need to be near older people.

    Sometimes, when I’m with many people, especially when I don’t know them. For example in public transit and at large events. Unless I’m there to party. Also sometimes when I don’t feel 100% well and come in contact with old, weak or sick people.

    yes, I always mask, especially in public transit. I bought a full face respirator as there are many fewer people masking so better masks are required to reduce risk sufficiently.

    Public transit, large events and shops that aren’t completely empty. They’re still mandatory in all medical facilities here (France) including pharmacies, so there’s that too.

    Thanks for asking this. I was reflecting recently that Ive started feeling feeling self conscious masking. I still mask when shopping and traveling, but also I go to restaurants a fair bit and see friends, and don’t mask for those things.

    Not often. After my 5th jab, and after catching covid once . . . rather gave it up. Today the only time I wear one is during check-in on a flight (security, boarding, etc). Otherwise . . .no.

    I still wear masks, when i have to go out and met people i dont know.

    I got covid the last week. For the first time. Still positive, but almost all symptoms are gone. I think i got it at a funeral i was… There were a lot of people who hugged each other. Pretty sure i got it there.

    My Mum (which has a transplanted lung) also got covid - the first time. She had to go to the hospital, but had mild symptoms. She was there for just 5 days and got 4 transfusions. She tested negative since yesterday.

    3 years without is a good stat i think. Masks work. And thanks the vaccines i got mild symptoms. Fever, Cough, Headache. Nothing more.
