    I only wear a mask when I go out. That isn’t “living my life with a mask”. I also get quality, well-made masks that are comfortable. They also keep your face warm when it’s cold, and you aren’t going to get tagged by facial-recognition software.

      This topic is about healthcare workers. My point is that I don’t expect healthcare workers to wear one every day during their full shift. I only expect them to wear a mask when around at-risk individuals (i.e. CDC guidelines for healthcare workers), or consistent with hospital/clinic guidelines, or ideally when asked to by a patient. If someone is wearing a mask, I expect them to distance themselves as much as is reasonable so that person feels comfortable (that’s just common decency imo).

      That’s what I’m responding to. Feel free to wear a mask whenever you want, that’s fine. Don’t expect others to do so unreasonably.

        That applies a thousand times more to healthcare workers.
