I’m recovering from my first bout with Covid after dodging it for 3.5 years. Pretty mild, a couple shitty days of fever and congestion etc nbd. Wore a mask to the grocery store today in a red state and got stares. I seriously considered not wearing it at all because none of these mouth breathers would do the same for me during peak Covid pre vaccine, but ultimately decided to do the right thing. If only that were as contagious as the virus.
No, if your sick you stay home. If you might spread of dangerous disease of which people and their immune systems are largely unused to dealing with and you otherwise cannot tell if your sick, then you wear a mask.
While I understand your sentiment life is not as black and white as that and some people cannot just stop everything they are doing because they are sick. I believe there should be more protection for people who are sick so they can recover.
IMO people should wear masks if they have to go out with any cold/flu type illness. Stops them spreading their germs to other people.

You wear a cheap mask to protect the community, but if no one is wearing then you should wear a n95 to protect yourself
“Pre vaccine” lol
When I feel ill I wear a mask at work or when I have to get food but otherwise I try to stay home.
Why would you go to work if you’re feeling ill??
In the US a lot of workers don’t get paid if they don’t show up to work because they have no paid time off.
In the US they often combine sick days and vacation days, so if you miss work while sick, you are using your vacation days, which are very limited.
I would presume because their work insisted?
