There’s a lot of people in my life that don’t want to get sick. And I don’t want to have to cancel plans with them every time I feel a little fatigue, because 99% of the time that’s just due to weird sleep. But if I wasn’t masked I would be constantly wondering if I was getting sick and if I should cancel plans. My parents are elderly, my partners partner is vulnerable. There’s a lot of people in my life that can’t afford to get sick because they would infect their entire household.

I guess it’s fine if no one you hang out with cares, but that’s not the case for me.

I should also note that I don’t work with other people. I might feel differently if I had to mask at work all the time. I do keep a mask for the 2% of the time at work I interact with others. But the biggest thing is grocery stores. Not masking there you’re just asking to elevate community transmission. You’re increasing the risks for others. I’d love it if the virus was gone, but it just isn’t.
