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?

    you can get a breakthrough covid infection still. which won't make you super sick but still sucks, and you'll have to take off of work for 2 weeks to isolate. i would wear it just to reduce the chances of that happening. you reduce your chance of infection by 30% by wearing a mask in a place where others don't.
