    What do you do for a living? For many, wearing a mask while working is a recipe for guaranteed heat exhaustion. I’m not subjecting myself to that, and if the illness is anything at all like the last time I had it, it was a goddamn cold.

    Wearing a mask in a hospital full of people with compromised health and all sorts of contagions floating around is a really good idea.

    Wearing a mask outdoors in the summer time on a construction site full of other able-bodied people is just fucking silly.

      What kind of construction work are you talking about if you’re not wearing a mask? Anything that produces fine dust or requires working with volatile chemicals like paints and aerosols requires you to work in a mask at all times. Do you have any work safety regulations in your country?
