Jun 20, 2020 at 14:13 comment added Dan C -1 for "only take it off after you know if it's OK." You cannot know if it's OK, because you cannot know if anyone around you has the virus, or perhaps someone who left the room 15 minutes before you entered has the virus. "Remember, we are not wearing masks for our own protection, we are wearing them for the protection of others." is also wrong. If there are two people in a room and one has the virus, masking them lowers the risk the most. But masking both of them lowers it more than just masking one.
Jun 20, 2020 at 12:53 comment added bytepusher Wearing a mask is arguable not more important when others aren't, unless you're actually talking about a mask with decent filters. Other masks only protect others from the wearer - so I'd agree with Harper then.
Jun 20, 2020 at 8:15 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica If nobody wears a mask, FRICKIN' RUN. Your mask is weak tea if one of them is in the contagious/asymptomatic period... that person's mask would make all the difference in the world. That's why masks need everyone to do it. If they don't frickin' get it, they're not safe to be around.
Jun 19, 2020 at 14:10 comment added Aida Paul Better yet just keep it on unless you have a reason not to. It is a bit annoying, but randomly taking it off and on greatly redcues its effect.
Jun 19, 2020 at 13:49 comment added Flater "If nobody wears a mask, take it off" isn't particularly great advice. This isn't a company culture type of issue where you do as the Romans do, it's a health issue regardless of what the Romans are doing. Arguably, wearing your mask is more important when others aren't. OP can choose to take their mask off but shouldn't do so just because others aren't wearing theirs.
