For those of us in the northern hemisphere

It's mandatory here again so yes. I am also going to keep my masks for anytime in the future if I have the sniffles or anything mild and still need to go out.

No. I think they do more harm than good. I have only worn a mask a few times since the China virus came. I wash my hands. I keep my hands away from my face. I take common sense precautions. And seeing people trying to breathe through things is sometimes painful.

I only wear a mask where required.

I work at a school, we're required to wear them indoors, but not when we're on the playground.

I'll be wearing one all winter. I've made it this far through the pandemic; I'm not going to take any chances now. Not getting a cold or flu is a definite side benefit.

I wear one now and have been since Delta blew up here. When I do shop for groceries or whatever, I'm definitely in the masked-up minority, though. The other day at the grocery store I got the stink eye from some guy, but at least he didn't say anything.

we will be wearing masks in public place for the coming winter.

I wear a mask when I go to the docs office.

Mostly to make other people happy. Cheap dust masks factually do nothing.

If I had a high medically rated mask, no one wears those, it would work.

But back to my point. If you can, wear a good mask to the docs office/hospital anytime, not referring to the plague. I mean real life. hospitals and docs offices are(can be) dangerous places to catch something.

Adios.

Only when required. I don't think they do much good.
