• Exactly! If you’ve been exposed to the virus, it makes a ton of sense.

    When I last got COVID, I:

    1. self-quarantined as much as possible, keeping as much distance as I could
    2. wore a surgical mask (best mask I had) until I was able to get an N95 mask (about a day)
    3. wore the N95 mask whenever I was anywhere near anyone until I was able to effectively quarantine

    But that’s not an everyday thing. Once I had confirmed I was negative, I stopped wearing the mask in public. There’s no need, I’m healthy and I’m around other healthy people. I’m not going to wear a mask out of fear of what might be out there, I’ll wear it when I’m near people who are at-risk or when asked. I’m not going to wear it 24/7 though.
