    You’d think they’d realize that wearing a mask might be the easiest way to fight the Deep State, but you’d be wrong.

    Indoors, yes.
    Outside, no.

    If I were to find myself compelled to attend some crowded outdoor event, I would, but going for a morning walk or even just crossing the parking lot to get in somewhere I don't.
    I'd say since about April 1 I have worn one. I can think of once when I went in a store and didn't, and that's just because I forgot until I was already inside and saw the store employees wearing them.

    Like others here, always indoors.

    Outside, it depends. I don't on my walks, but typically I am able to maintain at least a street's width between me and anyone else in my neighborhood. I went out of town once and did wear a mask outdoors, but it was a semi-crowded area.

    Always inside. I do not wear one outside unless I am in a situation when I can’t distance.

    Admittedly, a late adopter... but... yes.

    Now I do when inside.

    I can't deny the evidence that wearing masks helps the situation.

    Indoors around people or walking through common areas or in public places such as grocery store - yes.
    No, when in my office alone with the door shut
    No when outdoors.

    Always inside public places. Also wear it on walks (busy sidewalks) but if I'm not around anyone on a walk I'll slip it down when it's hot.

    It's just a part of the routine now, like grabbing my keys, when I go out. Not a big deal.

    Speaking of masks, this got a laugh out of me:

    Let's hope. Or maybe DeWine will politely ask again... and a good chunk will continue not to, and cases will continue to rise.

    I am confident - and I know people I trust who are equally confident - that the mask actually protects you as much as someone else.

    Public health officials won’t say it because they have been burned and they can’t exactly prove it. But I believe it.

    Was just rocking a Spider-Man one in the liquor store an hour ago.

    It's called being part of a solution. Literally the fucking least one can do.

    Yes.

    When I go for walks, I take the mask with me, and, if someone comes near, I try to cross the street. If I can't do that, I put my mask on.

    If I go any other public place, like picking up food at a restaurant, I wear the mask.

    Always indoors.

    Outdoors, no.

    Blue paper. Not a big deal at all.

    I am also taking a shit ton of vitamins and zinc.
