So I live in a part of the US where I haven’t seen more than 2 or 3 people wear a mask (outside of a protest I went to) in the past two years. Its genuinely just not done here. I will wear a mask if I feel a under the weather or my allergies are acting up but typically don’t wear one. Should I? Would it help? Do y’all wear one everytime you go out?
As I understand it masks don’t prevent you from getting sick as much as they prevent you from getting others sick. Is this correct?
High quality respirators, especially KN95s and even better are N95s, protect you considerably. I haven’t been sick since 2019.
