I work as a delivery driver for a takeout restaurant. Inside, we can have up to ten or eleven employees working around each other and not a single one wears a mask. I would say 30-40% are likely vaccinated, most of them are high schoolers who don't see covid as a big deal.

If only one person out of 10 is wearing a mask, that's essentially useless, isn't it? It's my understanding that the point of the mask is to get enough people wearing them to grant group protection. If I'm not actively sick and I'm vaccinated, there isn't much of a difference if I wear one or not, right?

    masks are mostly there to protect other people from yourself (not the other way around) so while yeah, 9/10 other people running around is not great you're one less person

    where i live, people wear masks only in public transport (where they're legally enforced), i still wear a mask everywhere, i don't want to have anyone else on my conscience, people are gonna catch it and get ill and maybe die, but i won't be a part of it
