Out of caution and respect, I would hate to be the cause of someone becoming ill due to my ignorance.

Wearing a mask isn't about you, it's about others. By wearing a mask, you're telling others, "I care about you and your well-being."

I feel that it is the right thing to do, to respect and protect others, as I would like them to do for me.

as a courtesy to others, we know we are not exposed, or at least at very minimal exposure.

My mother is 96 years old. I cannot take a chance of passing the virus to her. And, I'm 68 and asthmatic, two strikes.

I voted yes BC that's just basic human decency to protect others and yourself. Smoking was banned in public establishment's for others protection. Wearing a mask should be mandatory for others protection. What is the difference? People are ok with this so why such a fussy about mask's

I do wear a mask at all times when out. I think we would be over this already if we were self disciplined say like Chinese folks. Some folks here think it infringes on there rights. You can't think like that in this situation. So I think it will be here until we get a vaccine.

I value life and respect other people, so yes, I always wear a mask. Anyone who doesn't is selfish.

It is the easiest thing to do and could benefit so many lives so why not people? New window signs....No shirt, No shoes, No mask, No service! See? So simple!

We have to now but even before then I was, except for work. I couldn't wear a mask all day but I have an office where I can shut the door.

Its a simple, easy thing to do. Understanding that it does not protect me, I know it can help others. Other countries have succeeded with these small gestures. Its sad the US is losing this battle.

I work “Essential retail”. I wear mask 8 + hours a day. Other than work, I don’t go anywhere. I wish it was mandatory for all customers to wear a mask.

It's a matter of responsibility to protect others from asymptomatic spreaders. Besides, it is required in New York in many places.

I made masks out of my husband's dirty boxer shorts. Their filth would keep any virus away.

There is no medical research to back up wearing a mask...in fact the research says not to.

You might want to get off FOX and do some real research. The mask is to protect others from YOU.

Sometimes, but mostly no. I just seldom go out, wash hands when I do, and keep my distance from others. I have trouble breathing through the masks.

I wear one only if required in order to do something I choose to do, otherwise no. I think staying 6 ft.+ away from others is sufficient.

So you probably should've answered yes. Because you're doing exactly as you should.

Wrong! Look at the deaths of over 100 thousand Americans and many more around the world. By refusing to wear a mask you are being the poster child for selfish inconsideration.
