Do you wear a mask when you go out because of Covid19?
I do, every time, but it's entirely for other people's comfort. Usually cloth.

Yes, both my wife and I wear masks when we go out into public.
No - Surgical masks are the only one to provide adequate protection. From my reading, they can cause more problems than they can save.
Only when it is a requirement
I wear a hockey mask and carry a chainsaw.
it goes on the second i leave the house. no exceptions. when i do my early morning run, i keep it pulled down under my chin, but it goes on the second i have to share space with another person. (it's a 4am run, so it's rare for me to be around another human).
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Usually. We went to our first restaurant meal out last night. Didn't wear one, but we we on a patio and distanced. Wore one to go inside to use the bathroom, per their rules. Going to a newly opened bar tonight and will probably do the same. Things are pretty opened up here.
My wife does most of the shopping right now, but I would wear one in a store or similar. Probably will in certain situations if/when I go back to the office.
For my walks and bike rides, no. Our neighbourhood is pretty expansive (outer edge of the city with low density and large properties) so there's always room for physical distancing when I encounter someone, generally a lot more than the recommended 2m.
I wear blk surgical mask and blk latex gloves everytime I go out.
I've recently have had to tell people to back up which they seem to get upset about.
I am in no* hurry to visit restaurants or my favorite stores as that's not a need but more of a want.

When I go into public spaces I always wear a mask.
I do wear a mask. I've noticed that the percentage of people in stores wearing masks has dropped considerably over the last month. In April and early May it seemed liked 60-70% of the folks in lines and stores wore masks. Now it seem like 25-30% do. I'm afraid complacency is going to allow the virus to come roaring back. hopefully not, but every authority says masks help and such a low % wear them.
Yes, I aways wear a mask in public places.
Yes. I'm not afraid for myself I'll get the virus so much, but I don't want to give it to someone else.
Masks are mainly effective for keeping the wearer from spreading Covid 19, if they have it. And since carriers can havr coronavirus and not know it, that's why they should be worn. The masks protect other people.
Not if I'm not around people. Walking my dog early in the morning or late at night, no. There are few people out and when we meet them, I step aside and make the dog sit aside me. Haven't had anyone who didn't move to the opposite side of us yet. Last time I wore a mask was when my husband's brother and his wife came to visit last week. Then we all wore masks even though with were well over 10 feet apart on opposite sides of the room. Northern Virginia is still on Phase 1 reopening most stores are still carry-out/curbside pick-up. Husband has been going to store late at night/early in the morning and he wears a surgical mask in the supermarkets.
Yes, when I am around people, although it offers minimal protection for me. Our county experienced more new cases this week than in any other week, with one exception, since the epidemic began. People are getting careless.
If I am outside No I don't wear a mask, and I will rarely wear one inside too. Unless it is going to be crowdedfar more than a Grocery store.
Not that I believe the WHO but
The World Health Organization said in advice on the use of masks, that there is no evidence wearing a mask by a healthy person in a community setting can prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. It said that included universal community masking.
However since a surgical mask at very best according to some not very well done research prevents 70% of the virus particles most of the other better research states it to be between 40 -60%.
In this case 40 - 70% does not mean you are that much more unlikely to get the virus than a person who doesn't wear a mask. It just means that 30% to 60% of the virus particles which are. .01 microns penetrate the surgacal mask that only prevents particles. .03 and larger sized mircons particle from entering at all. Therefore if you wear a mask you are still breathing in enough particles to get infected.
Remember that the CDC flip flopped on this and have several times time in their history. They are not using science as they state but emotional, politically correct and economical standards. Do your own research and you will find this to be true.
Now I am not saying nobody should ever wear a mask because at times they are necessary but ones with self breathers. Furthermore , it is truly sad that some of our States Governors made stupid moved in regards to the elderly. Also know that about 30% of the 111,000 people in the USA and world wide who has been listed only had this virus but did not die because of it. These things are facts.
Where l live masks are not mandatory and most things have opened up. Some businesses require masks for entry, others do not. The coronavirus was dropping, but there has been a significant spike in areas that have had large protest gatherings.
A lot of people have quit wearing masks, especially millenials.
We require masks at my office and check each employees temperature before they can come in and start work. We still have several people working from home.

I started doing so last week. Now that society is opening up again chances of spreading the virus are increasing again. I only wear it indoors though, or perhaps when it's crowded outside, but I haven't been to such places yet.
