I find that wearing a mask really helps with my allergies when gardening or when the pollution level is high. Right now where I live the ragweed is really high. We gardened the other day and my daughter and I were trading the eye drop bottle back and forth. The next day I used a mask and my eyes were fine. It is great for dusting too. So, alone with dust and pollen is a mask is still a useful thing. Also, my daughter had to get antibiotics this Friday for tooth extraction gone bad. We were lucky to avoid the holiday ER which her allergist told me had a 19 hour wait. Why? Because all of the families who do not have health insurance were there after the first weeks of school with their children who have covid. So, the lovely no covid policies in our schools are kicking in. Our city needs to have covid clinics. Glad we could avoid those lines.
Wearing a mask when changing the cat litter avoids an asthma attack in my experience.
I do still wear a mask in stores and libraries, as protection against not only covid but also colds and flu. The community chorus in which I sing still requires proof of vaccination and N95 masks.
The synagogue choir in which I sing is now masks optional, with no one wearing them - which is one reason it's much smaller this year than in the past. We live in interesting times.
There are also those on the “other side” wearing masks alone in a car.

Why does that upset you so much? Is it harmful to you? Do you want people in your community to tell you what you can and can’t wear in your own car?
We just forget to take them off after our doctor’s visit when we learn we have a terminal illness.
So.......?
