Could it be wearing a mask, or not wearing one, is situational?
Maybe even regional?
I’d be more likely to wear one in the pac nW than Mississippi; always wear one in a hospital, but not at the gas station?
I wore a mask at the dentist Thursday; until he told me to take it off...
Came from a beach shop, easier to breathe, & doesn’t fog my specs up as much; & machine washable...
