Doctor’s office/hospital required it. Other than that never.

Unlike the left, conservatives tend to think for themselves.
You are willfully ignorant. I guess that's thinking for yourself. Most conservatives disagree with you on the mask issue.

I don't know how long it will take for the infection here slows down. I plan to wear a mask until it's safe to go around without one, but right now, I have no idea of when it will be safe.

Hopefully, not long, but I'm prepared to wear the damn mask for as long as it takes.

This is insanity, but yeah I get it. Many despise knowledge, facts, and reason and instead cling to myth, intuition, and ignorance to guide them. Sorry. That’s not freedom. You can deny the existence of gravity all you want - you’re still subject to its properties. You are not immune to a virus just because you don’t believe in it.

No one yet knows how long immunity will last, so it has not been established, no matter how loud you shout.

It will take time for enough people to be vaccinated to slow down circulation of the virus, and if the anti-vaxers have their way it may not happen at all.

So sad that some people have been so psychologically damaged by this great lie that they plan to wear masks for the rest of their lives.

Why not put a line of salt around your bed to protect you from evil spirits? Garlic? Maybe a few good luck charms would help too.

I will wear a mask and social distance until a proven effective vaccine is developed and made available. I do it for others more than I do it for myself. I would feel awful if I gave it to one of my love ones because I refused to be responsible.

Yes..as the makeshift macgyver style mask will save you.
This may appear as a shocker: neck gaiters, bandanas, nor any facemask rate virus-retardant.

The poster is quite accurate. Bandanas will not stop, eradicate, nor magically prevent a virus from causing havoc on your person.
