So... I'm just curious. No judgment or assumptions at all intended.
Do others on here still wear masks when in a public place, such as in grocery/other stores or on public transit etc?
I do and I don't give a crap about what anyone thinks about it as it is my personal decision. I just went back to work a few weeks ago (retail) and I am only working 2 days/week right now but I do wear a mask while working as well as wearing one when I go into any stores or other public places. I have definitely noticed a sharp decline in the number of people who do wear one though I respect that without any mandates everyone is free to make their own decision about it.
My child is immuno-compromised, so we've kept wearing masks, socially distancing and in general isolating ourselves during the winter because of it.
Despite that, we still all got it in the summer sometime, I think it was when we were in Jasper and almost nobody else was masking (indoors or out). I had mild symptoms, just a sore throat and some coughing, but everyone else had fevers/chills, headaches, coughs, sore throats, etc. That delayed getting our boosters until two weeks ago, but it meant we could get the bi-valent version, so hopefully it worked out okay. We got our flu shots in October, so with luck we'll avoid that this year.
We're still deciding whether or not to attend the family Christmas gathering, and I think that will come down to whether or not anyone is coughing/sneezing.
