Seems more of an issue for those that need to wear masks continuously, for work etc..

Here is another site from Miami Herald:

What Jomar has said is very sensible.

I only wear a mask when in public.

The risk of not wearing a mask and getting infected with Covid-19 is far worse.

I have not been out in public since Covid and will be going to my MD for a late annual check in and seeing her will be my first time needing to wear a mask, reluctantly. Around my apt bldg and with friends/family, no mask here.
