Do you wear a mask (other than health care workers)?

I made myself and DH a couple for when we have to go places where there will be other people indoors like the store or for him to wear when he has to work in people’s homes. But if I’m going out to walk around our neighborhood or out in our yard, no. It’s easy enough to stay far enough away from people in the open air.

I’m about to go to the pharmacy to pick up DD’s Rx and I won’t wear it there because the one we go to has a contactless drive up window. If I had to physically go in I would.

Northern California. Starting Monday Nugget supermarket won't allow anyone in without a mask. Usually it just takes one place implementing a rule before the rest are following it. I expect by the end of next week all the stores will require a mask.

When I'm outside walking, no. I never get within 20 feet of anyone. My neighborhood is super quiet.

When I go out to a shop, always. I had enough elastic to sew them for my family.

Yes. They're makeshift ones, but I cover my face every time I go outside, and have done so ever since our governor requested it. I live in a large condo complex and have neighbors who are elderly and neighbors who are fighting cancer. I want to protect them and myself and am taking no chances.

I've been out 2x. I didn't. I was only out of my car once for pumping gas and no one was within 6 feet of me. I'm thinking of wearing one for my next curbside pickup.

Love it! 

That is awesome!  We could be mask buddies.  We are certainly going to have the best looking masks when we go out! 

I have not worn one yet at all, but it's been a week since I've been in any sort of 'public' setting like the grocery store. I do walk for exercise a lot and don't wear a mask for that as it's easy enough to avoid any contact with people in my neighborhood. I'm also out in my yard a lot working or with the dog and see no reason to wear one for that.

I agree!

I made a whole bunch of masks. We wear them into stores, but, in my area of Utah, almost no one is, and, apparently, there are people actively mocking others who do. Because our Governor felt people in this state had "good common sense" (Spoiler: they really don't) he wouldn't have to issue any sort of shelter at home rule and it seems a majority of the population has taken that to mean, "we're fine, quit overreacting you snowflakes."

So, we get looks, and probably comments we aren't hearing, but, even if all it does it keeps me from dragging my fingers across my face after I touch the dairy case, then it's a win.

We also mostly stay home.

I haven't yet, but I will the next time I have to go to the grocery store.  Dh is a dentist, so I have one that he gave me.  I did wear gloves the last time.

Wearing masks, especially homemade ones, is not recommended here. 

I just saw a twitter post from a woman who said another woman mocked her in line at the grocery store for wearing a mask. She replied that she was an off duty nurse wearing the mask for other people's protection and would happily take it off for that woman. Mocker backed off real quick.

I am in a high-risk category (severe asthma) and so far have managed to not go out except twice to the store. I wear a mask if I need to leave my house.
