I never stopped masking - and I always use a quality mask - N95 mask. I have multifocal lung cancer so never know when I will need treatment. I don't need to compromise my lungs with Covid, RSV, flu or anything else.
I wore a mask at Thanksgiving and Christmas indoor family gatherings. I didn't eat there but took home my food.
I went to Italy for the month of March. I kept my mask on all the time in the plane and at the airport. At least in Italy they had only 5% positivity rate compared to Minnesota 10%
Wearing a mask is hard for me because I have shortness of breath under exertion and breathing through a mask is difficult.
No one has said anything to me....and if they did, I would give them an earful.

Noteworthy is that the Japanese have been wearing masks for many years to avoid getting sick. I lived in Italy for a lengthy period and had to take the bus most days to get to work. They were crowded and I caught so many things every year. Coming back to the States, I could drive to work, and I rarely caught anything.

Were you wearing your mask during your lengthy period in Italy?
