I am not a fan of masks feel like I can't breathe in them or even hear people or myself I am hard of hearing wear hearing aids and I have an exempt badge and I Don't wear them but I wear a visor as it easier for me to communicate. as I lipread a lot.
Masks are a nuisance. Particularly if you have to wear glasses or hearing aids. We had to wear them in public for 6 months and even now on Public transport or in close quarters.. I am sure body armour is not popular with soldiers either. But they wear it for a good reason.

I like wearing them in the winter time here. My mask keeps my face warm. Also don't have to worry about wearing lipstick.
I was even in an accident a few weeks back and during the course of the night I was in two different ambulances and two different hospitals. Nobody made me wear it. They GAVE me one, and told me I “have to have one to enter” but nobody actually made me WEAR it.
@TheLastWord Yeah, I don't like the paper ones either. I found some at Sam's Club that are adjustable called Skin360. 6 for $10. They're the most comfortable one's I've found. Here's a link to their website if you want to check it out. https://skin360.com/collections/physical
I hate them so much. I wear it to blend in & avoid being bothered / denied, fined or whatever by the Zombies. Wish I could just chuck it. I always cheat, I don't cover my nose - I'm not making myself uncomfortable / depriving myself of fresh air. In a month or so when the temperature goes up higher, I'm hoping I'll go without it. This asymptomatic transmission stuff is BS. Its to keep everyone afraid.
I have to wear at work. I dont ware any where else any more now that we do not have mandates. Id rather take my changes with covid. Im pretty sure I am immune since I have been exposed to covid probably 100 or more times.
{@jadethedragon101] that is fair enough . if some with hearing problems as yourself struggles that is the right move . when people talk to you from behind a mask it makes the sound muffled . it is difficult at time to tell what they are saying when you have good hearing so in your case a virtually impossible task
While it’s obviously more comfortable not to wear a mask, I don’t mind them for the short time I’m out in public. If mandatory mask-wearing continues for a while longer, I’m okay with it.
I’m ready to go permanently with mask mandates, and a 6 ft barrier. Give me my personal space, and the mask is no problem at all, keeps down cold, flu, Covid, and stupid people staring at me.
