question about masks (lemmy.ml)

So I live in a part of the US where I haven't seen more than 2 or 3 people wear a mask (outside of a protest I went to) in the past two years. Its genuinely just not done here. I will wear a mask if I feel a under the weather or my allergies are acting up but typically don't wear one. Should I? Would it help? Do y'all wear one everytime you go out?

As I understand it masks don't prevent you from getting sick as much as they prevent you from getting others sick. Is this correct?

That's great info, thank you so much

Covixyl looks promising considering it has both ELAH and xylitol. How often do you reapply, when you're out all day?

Welcome! They say it lasts up to 6 hours. So I tend to do it 2-3 times a day. NGL though, when someone in the house is sick I probably do it every few hours.
