I only wear masks when I’m the one who’s sick so I don’t infect everyone else. And maybe at the hospital or clinic since I’ll be in the same room as other sick people or because I’m the one who’s sick.
Otherwise, unless you’re immuno compromised, I don’t see the point and wearing a mask all the time might be too much.
