Ugh, this would've been me but I succumbed to covid in April this year due to being at a wedding... The one time I didn't wear my mask ๐ท
The mask isn't for you, it's for everyone else.
unless its an n95.
That's a respirator.
Pedantically yes, but most people just call them all masks at this point.
From the fashion pov it could still classify as "mask"
It's more for everyone else, yes, but it does still help you.
I honestly think I'm immune or something. I pretty much followed all the lockdown rules, though I didn't go disinfecting my groceries like some people I know. After things loosened up I went on a day trip with a group of friends, and we all had dinner & drinks together afterwards. One woman unknowing had COVID, and over the next few days everyone else came down with it. Except me. Last Christmas I spent with close friends, lots of kissing and hugging - COVID for them but not me. I still get all my shots (five so far), I'm scared of long COVID more than anything. I'm too busy to be long-term sick.
Edit just to add that I tested negative every day for a week after those exposures.
