I don't wear one anywhere else anymore. Perhaps that is irresponsible? Maybe, but, I still do a LFT twice a week because of work and I have recently developed a concern that while everyone else is now being exposed to all the normal every day bugs that we wouldn't have been in the slightest bit concerned about pre-covid I'm still spending my working days masked. I do think my immune responses will be missing out if I'd continued to wear a mask everywhere. Maybe I've just made that up in my head to make me feel better about not wearing a mask, possibly, but catching Covid when I wore a mask everywhere anyway has also affected my views on mask wearing too.
