Will you wear a mask long term?

Long term no. Around here there were people wearing masks before it became a statewide mandate. I definitely joined in with that crowd and starting wearing one also. So I have no problem complying and feel that they are helpful, but do hope to not feel we need them at some point.

As long as I need to, I'll wear them. But I look forward to the time when I can understand what people are saying again. All the mumbling and repeating myself is getting old.

ETA: I'm going to wear a mask out from now on when I'm sick.

I'm probably going to be in the minority here, but I CANNOT WAIT TO STOP! When businesses lift the mandates, I'll stop immediately. I like to smile and see other people smile. To me it's very depressing to see only half of someone's face. I'm tired of being bombarded with social distancing, washing hands, and I'm so ready for normal again.

Nope. I can't wait to stop wearing it & also carrying around sanitizer, both of which I hate but tolerate these days.

I absolutely think that there will be times that I will wear one. Most likely around people who are sick or if I myself am not feeling good. I have always used hand sanitizer so that’s not a big deal to continue to do.


I agree with whoever mentioned being bombarded with repetitive don’t forget to wash your hands, don’t forget to wear a mask, and don’t forget to be socially distant. I get it. And the continual repetitive constant reminders are ridiculous. Anyone who isn’t following it right now is not going to regardless of how many times they hear it or see it.

I don't mind wearing a mask. I have made several with fun prints that make me smile. And have made several fun ones for my family. I will probably still wear one for a while after the mandate in our area ends. Even with a vaccine, we still got the flu back in January when my baby grandson got the flu. He got it full blown and was so sick. DD and I both got it from him and were miserable for a few days.

Absolutely not.  I live for the day I can burn that thing and feel like a normal person again.

Nope. The minute I'm not viewed as a callous asshole, I will stop wearing one. I hate them, and have doubts about effectiveness. Masks are effective if they are the correct type, and worn correctly, and not touched constantly, and kept sanitary. Sadly, that combination rarely happens.

I hate wearing a mask! The students at school don't always recognize me, and I have trouble recognizing them. I work with so many kids in the building, it is frustrating.

This is me. I HATE losing that little bit of humanity as I'm out and about. hate hate hate

I look forward to those small connections with strangers. It makes the world a friendlier place IMO 

But I'll wear masks as long as I have to.

I'm with you on this! I truly feel like most of the masks are just a loose bandaid on the problem. Most are not effective and not worn right, but if you have it on - you are viewed as safe.

I wear mine into Walmart and the grocery store. So I have one on for maybe an hour or so in about a 2 week time period. I still try hard to keep my distance from people and I carry a small bottle of soap and some water in my truck and wash my hands before I even get in the truck.

The virus is really starting to spread here now, with football practice in full swing. School starts next week. We will see how it goes - not looking good.

I'll be glad when I don't have to wear a mask anymore. I've always loved kids and I always smile at them when I'm out running errands. They almost always smile back. Now, I find myself smiling at kids and they just turn away. With the mask on, they can't tell I'm smiling. I'm just some creepy lady staring at them.

I will wear it as long as it's required.

After the required phase is over, I will wear it when I feel it's needed.
Specifically, when I have to interact with certain individuals that have horrendous bad breath and bad hygiene. I will simply state "allergies/sinus issues, so best to wear the mask right now". Allergies and sinus issues are a frequent occurrence in my life, so that will be my reasoning, instead of saying "you smell funky" .

As long as I need to, during cold & fly season, and if I’m not feeling well and have to be out.
