Are people weirdos now to continue wearing masks ?

Given the current climate around Covid, am thinking that everyone engaging in public interactions should be wearing
Surgical Masks .

We still have indoor mask mandates here. Very few people complain about them. It's just habit/routine now. If they weren't required, I bet a lot of people would still wear them for a while - in part to protect themselves, but also to respectfully protect others from them if they may have an asymptomatic case.

Only time will tell when vaccine mandates and masks etc may be lifted (when the stats say there's no/very little additional benefit to it is when I'd imagine those things would happen) & then we'll see how people behave. Maybe everyone will lose their masks.. or maybe most - but I bet many of the elderly and immunocompromised will continue to mask up for a while yet.

I actually hope some people do continue to wear masks even though I personally can't stand wearing one for any length of time, just to keep them normalized so as to frustrate widespread facial recognition. I like the idea that I can cover my face if I want to without drawing attention simply by doing so, it's good to have the option.

No. There are many reasons that some people continue to wear masks.

Everyone I have seen whenever I go out is still wearing masks. I even have yet to see people where I live refusing to wear masks, throwing a huge stink over wearing masks, or harassing other people for wearing masks.

I guess I really am "lucky".

Idk I feel kind of weird not wearing a mask in public now. Mask mandates have been lifted where I live for now so I have gone into places without one but it does feel kind of weird now, whereas initially if felt weird to wear a mask.

Even though many mask mandates have been lifted, staff at stores, restaurants are still required to wear masks. Personally, I follow the guidelines of staff - hence, I continue to wear a mask in (esp. in indoor) public spaces.

Wearing a mask during cold weather, poor air quality days (yellow dust), or when sick is normal and common in some Asian countries, Korea for example.

If I was in Korea, I would be considered smart and respectful for wearing a mask. Its a shame that Americans don't recognize this.

Besides, in the end, it's MY health and MY life, so who cares what others think.

At the beginning of Covid I worked at a grocery store. I wore a mask but no one else did. Customers and coworkers avoided me. It was great! I got a lot of work done. LMBO

I live in NYC and if you're in the bus not wearing a mask most bus operators will tell you to put it on.

Where i live even indoors mask restrictions have been lifted.

In my workplace people often ask me why am i wearing one. I have no idea why it bothers them when i repeated again and again that my parents are elderly and i am afraid of risking them. I have no idea why people can't comprehend the fact that some people don't like taking risks.
