Both my wife and I are immunocompromised (kidney transplant and cancer). We wear a mask because getting sick really sucks and it's not just COVID. We're glad most people got used to the idea of seeing others in masks because here in the US it wasn't a common thing like it is in Japan. I never expected others to continue wearing them but we get harassed often for wearing ours. It's so frustrating now that I simply yell "she has cancer" whenever someone confronts us. Some go as far as to tell us to "stay home" then if we're so scared. We're just trying to live too and sometimes that means us wearing a mask when we're out.
