You should mask up in public indoor spaces and crowded outdoor spaces. Wear at least a KN95. This significantly protects you from COVID.
Others wearing masks would be better but this doesn't mean masks won't protect you. You should try to get COVID as few times as possible to reduce the chances of complications. It will also help protect people around you, particularly the immunocompromised.
High quality respirators, especially KN95s and even better are N95s, protect you considerably. I haven't been sick since 2019.
Echoing the others to say that wearing an *N95 will provide some protection to you, as well as those around you. I wear one every time I'm indoors in public spaces or outside in large crowds.
*N95
Lol woops thanks, fixed
N95Gang says masks are sexy and functional!
I always wear an N95 and use a nasal spray when I got out in public indoor spaces and the rare times I have to do the outdoor crowds. I also wear an N95 at home because I live with family who "after Covid" swung wildly back towards being total germ cultists and spending months at a time sick with "allergies." Despite them passing their "allergies" back and forth like trading cards for months at a time, I haven't caught a communicable disease since I started masking full time a couple years ago.🤞
edit: forgot to put after Covid in quotes.🤪
Thanks for all the replies, I'll be wearing more masks from now on lol
