Do wear a mask when you go to a public place?

Masks are compulsory in NSW. Australia, at the present time, and must be worn when you leave your property.

I don't wear one in the car (air on recycle), or while working, lawn mowing contractor, but put one on to talk to customers.

Yes

Yes, though they are not compulsory here. I feel caution is still needed.

Yes.

My husband always makes me wear mask in public, he always has done. Oh wait, you’re talking about that Covid thingy, oops

Yes

Only to the bank.

Sometimes depending upon how crowded or if I’ll be stuck inside for awhile

Since the Delta surge, yes. Even though I'm fully vaccinated.

Yep

Yes

Always, even while teaching.

Yup. I can't attend classes if I don't wear one.

Very rarely now. We were promised 'freedom day' by a politician who is renowned for lying, so for once i can hold him to his promise. I maintain distances, but will not live in fear of this; respect, yes - fear, no.

Yes and at parties too. I only take it off to eat at said party and carry straws too as to not fully remove mask to drink beverage.

Always! It's on before I go out the door and it's on until I come back inside and with no exceptions. A mask may not be the most perfect protection, but to me, it serves as a barrier both ways. That's from me to the other person and the reverse also. It may not be 100% effective, but any kind of protection is better than none. And yes, I've had all the vaccinations as soon as they were available.

I've seen people quote figures and percentages trying to prove masks (and even the vaccinations) are not effective, but that means absolutely NOTHING! Anyone can juggle numbers to make any kind of story they want. And just because some Governor (in my case our stupid Premier) says it is safe to be out without masks or vaccinations, well... I want to remind all of you non-believers that the virus DOES NOT listen to the government. It is still out there and just waiting for an opportunity to find a new host... you. All anyone has to do is use a little common sense, or as my grandfather used to say, 'use a little horse sense'.

Sort of. I take the train to and from work often and they require it.

I will also use it when I am in a place that seems...dirty.

I use N95s if its all I have, but I bought some neat ones from Spencers and Hot Topic.

in a word. YES.

people that don't, are part of the reason i have to.

ABSOLUTELY!

As soon I enter enclosed spaces. In the park, reading, no.

Most definitely and particularly if I'm going to be within 10 feet of other people. If I am unwittingly carrying the virus in my airway, I certainly don't want to spread it to others. How cruel that would be if I unknowingly spread it to an immunocompromised person, or an unvaccinated child. A mask is not fear; it is scientifically proven and common sense at the same time.

Yes.

Absolutely. Doesn't hurt me at all to do so.

A virus, whether RNA or DNA is weakly invasive. It is not the exaggerated thing that the CDC or any national government is making it to be. It does not spread easily in the outdoors and I have a special natural defense. Since 2005, I started getting severe abdominal muscles spasms, which is a symptom of generalized Tetanus from localized Tetanus five years earlier. Tetanus produces two exotoxins. The one called Tetanolysin can destroy any stupid weak virus. In general, the immune system can keep up with any virus. This puny Omicron or Delta really only affects somebody with a weakened immune system.

only when i have too

I haven't been, as I am fully vaxxed, but since it seems like every single person I know has a cold, and downtown here JUST shut down, I'll be wearing one again.
