I just stopped (in almost all situations) a couple of weeks ago. Previously I had kept masking for a few reasons 1) I work at home and the amount of time I needed to mask up to decrease my chances of getting sick were not difficult for me 2)Being self-employed/no sick days having to be out more than a few days/having long-term effects are always a potential concern for me 3) I just did feel things happened sooner than I was comfortable 4)It was still required in health care settings, including for me as a therapist if I was going to work in an office- somehow I felt while that was in place it was no biggie for me to put on a mask while indoors. I decided to stop in my every day life for the following reasons 1)The requirement to mask in most healthcare situations stops 4/3; this just means something to me. 2) My kids are not masking and ds in particular not only goes to public school but is on a sports team where he basically is more of a "risk" to me than most anything I do. 3)less worried that we would be too negatively impacted if we do get sick (still not happy about long covid possibilities but very little I can do to avoid that when my kids are not masking 4)I do still feel awful for people who are very high risk, but me masking helps them so minimally when pretty much no one else is.
I think I would still mask if/when I am in an airport. things like indoor concerts are things I may or may not mask for (dont have any coming up)
