Yppej,
what would get you to wear a mask anytime you are in a public building, around people you don’t live with, or outside but likely to be close to others? Anything?

Why do you think she doesnt wear a mask in the situations you describe?Originally Posted by Chicken lady
You are overstating the “other side’s” POV.
It aint that simple.
True. It may just be that they're major jerks like this guy.

Covid case in boyfriends office again (last one was a few months ago, there was also a 3rd one in just the office building), here we go again. Oh they wear masks, all day. So covid tests and quarantining from bf again.

Perhaps she does. Perhaps the conditions that get her to wear a mask have already occurred.
based on yppej’s posts I don’t think the answer is “hearing from multiple mainstream sources that masks are a good idea”
I have a coworker who wears her mask because it is required. But as soon as the kids leave, she takes it off because she is “working alone”. I now leave work by the (no alarm) fire exit because I am not interested in walking through the reception space she has been breathing freely in for as much as an hour. She does not meet my definition of wearing a mask in a public building, but I get the impression Yppej would find her behavior totally fine.

In May and June, we were allowed to take off our masks when working alone in an office with the door closed. That’s when we thought it was primarily droplet transmission.
Now that we are seeing the airborne component those recommendations have changed.
One of the rough things about covid is that the recommendations change as we learn more.
Here is an example of the idea that masks will save us. A coworker has been pressured by his family to fly to Florida, pick up granny, and fly back with her to Massachusetts so she can attend all the family holiday gatherings. He thinks it is a bad idea. I think it is a bad idea. But hey, they will wear masks on the plane and he will get a covid test before returning to work so what could go wrong?
I think the reality is that masks are one of the tools that, if used properly, can reduce risk. If people think they are some type of panacea, they are of course mistaken, but that doesn't mean they don't have value.
