Whether it’s for work or when your going out or whatever? It seems most people don’t now, but I’ve seen some places still have them. Kinda weird cuz it’s not like COVID’s gone. I still wear a mask but I’m the only person that does at my workplace and it’s kinda awkward tbh.

Were either of these two statements correct?

  • People took off their masks in the break room to eat lunch, or similar.

  • Most people were wearing cloth masks or loose surgical masks.

Those would explain why they had limited effectiveness. For a mask to work reliably it has to fit and filter properly - this is how many doctors can work in plague conditions and not get sick (unless they’re unlucky when changing masks/eating lunch/they get germs on their hands and touch their eyes/etc.). Unfortunately, the people in charge did a very bad job of explaining this and making good masks available.

I was not using the breakroom at the time. The second statement definitely though. Eventually we were given kn95s but not for a while.
