I didn't know lemmy was full of anti maskers. Wear a mask ffs. You should have kn95s or n95s. They work and prevent all sorts of illness. Even a regular mask works better than nothing. They did plenty of studies.
I'm not an anti masker, wore mine for 3 solid years, but definitely tired of it. And we can't wear a mask forever.
I can understand if I'm sick or regularly near someone who is sick, but day to day is too much. Especially in my line of work, where I'm working in the heat doing physical work.
Why not? If its flu season you should just mask up.
