		I have asthma and when I'm in a crowded area, I put one on. Nobody cares. I see cashiers, clinics, etc still wear them in my area.

		@Blondily Now every time I get a cold and need to go shopping or whatever, I put on a mask. Just being conscient about others now after that whole thing went down a couple of years ago.

		@TanukiFrolic Exactly
I cannot be anywhere near a sick person. I experienced that in August, got sick then my asthma flared and I had to be put on meds. Wearing a mask can prevent that!

		The article presents the misinterpretation of a study that people were referencing, and it also provided results from other studies and research.
"We already have information from other studies that show almost a dose-response relationship between wearing no mask at all, wearing a cloth mask, wearing a surgical mask and wearing an N95," Justman said. "As you go up the ladder, so to speak, with each step of a better-quality mask, you see more protection."
One example is a study published in February 2022 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examining those who said they wore masks all the time in indoor public settings.
Researchers found cloth masks were associated with a 56% decrease in testing positive for COVID-19, surgical masks by 66% and N95/KN95 masks by 83% compared to those who didn't wear masks or face coverings.

		I’m leaving this Saturday for a week and I will definitely wear a mask.  😷 it’s no guarantees that I won’t get sick but hope it helps.

		Don't go there then, back then they try to force everyone. I still didn't do it.
To each their own, if want wear one, wear one. If don't want one, don't wear one. Don't try forcing people to obey.
Besides how is a tiny fabric going to stop a microorganism

		And they're forcing you to wear it. 
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta to for money. Its like selling you soul.
Say your against prostitution, but you had to do it or be homeless.
You're caught in catch 22. Do you sell out for what you believe in for money or do quit and look for another job

		Haven't encountered that lately. I probably would for my own protection if I was someplace like a hospital

		@Rambler When COVID occurs in the hospital, they all wear masks until it passes.
			
			
			
			
			
		
			butterflybaby75 · 46-50, F			
		
		Here, any GP clinic or hospital still demands they are worn by everyone, and that only started during Covid.

		Some people wear them without there actually being a requirement. I don't know about this location.
			
			
			
			
			
		
			Zaphod42 · 51-55, M			
		
		There are still a few businesses here that apparently require it just based on my observations, but it’s been a year or so since I’ve been anywhere that I was required to wear one as a customer.

		The only place I'm aware masks are required is the cancer and children's treatment wards which required masks well before 2020.

		@Starcrossed we get regular emails directing where and when masks are required. depends on what's going around.

		I never wear one. Never did, never will. They tried to force me once so I made it a chin warmer and oh gee the little strap broke.

		They weren’t required in the hospital where I was for surgery last month. There was hand sanitizer near doorways and other places and masks for use if a person wanted to wear them. The nurses would wear them for accessing chemo ports and doing other such things but that was for only a minute or so.

		Took the train last week to see a game. Packed in like it was Tokyo for the ride home. I wore a mask,  he didn't. Two days later he has a cold, I don't... Coincidence? Maybe!

		I think most people COMPLETELY missed the point of the OP. 
But besides that, the only time I see masks now is in the thrift stores.
