I keep them around. If we’re going somewhere we need to wear them, or if we’re sick even not with covid and coughing and stuff. Bh it’s not that often.

I didn’t have any left. When it was phasing out, I was occasionally caught without a mask in a place that required, but most provided at the front desk. Or if desperate, I would grab a used one from my glove compartment. It was relief to walk into a dentist office recently and not need a mask.

I've kept them all, and ensured that I won't be out of antibacterial Purell and unable to find it in the stores the next time, G-d forbid, there's a sudden epidemic or pandemic, like I was this time. I live in Canada, where people are behaving with logical caution and concern for others, and wearing masks in hospitals, clinics, medical offices, and wherever else it seems appropriate, for the protection of everyone. I'm sure this will be even more apparent during flu and cold season, as prudent mask wearing has resulted in a proven and marked decrease in the percentage of people coming down with those illnesses.

I kept them and wear them when traveling on mass transit. I should really wear them when doing dusty work, too, but always forget.

I threw them all out except one n95 for when I need to clean mold or dust.

The funny thing is I had masks in the house right before Covid because we were doing work in the house. For a little while I was able to avoid the hiked up prices on masks.

I’m a lower elementary teacher and kept a few boxes to use for activities in the classroom-they make the best blindfolds! ! No tying/untying and it covers a bit above and below the eye so they can’t peek LOL LOL

I’m still required to wear at work.
I work with a very medically frail high risk population.

Stupid/not stupid
Political or not.
If I want to keep my job I need to wear a mask. And o want to keep my job.

Btw, we seem to consistently have 1 covid positive patient and most times.

You mean you're all not wearing masks? People are still getting Covid.

I never really bought them. Maybe a box of disposables once in the very beginning. Haven't had them in my house for years.

My father just had covid a couple of weeks ago. He basically moved down to the basement where he has a home office with a guest bed and a bathroom and wore a mask every time he came upstairs so he wouldn't expose my mother or anyone else who was around. He also wore a mask in the car with her.

I got rid of the cloth masks we had but I still keep the surgical ones around. Almost all of the local doctors have now dropped the masking requirements but some of them held out for quite a while so we needed to have them. They may come in handy again during flu season or another bad air day.
