An uptick in Covid cases and hospitalizations in the U.S., and the emergence of new variants of the virus, are prompting questions about whether Americans should start masking up again.
One thing's for sure: People infected with Covid should wear masks around others to prevent the spread of the virus.
For those not infected, the decision to mask depends on a few things. That includes your personal risk level, Covid rates in your region and who you might make contact with, public health experts said.

When to wear a mask? Halloween!
Bakersfield. California. What are two reasons not to like them. LOL!
Okay.
Nice earring!
You looked! 😆
Matching outfits!
When you are sanding drywall.
When to wear a mask? I don’t know but one thing is for sure, the bravest amongst us wear masks when driving alone in their car. It is brave to save your imaginary friends from catching Covid.
When you are spray painting.
I see them quite often. Well not these two imports from Dumbassistan University.
never
well except when committing a crime
GMPP
Besides never. ;O)
Naw, really? /s
I wonder from where they drew this bit of delayed sanity? /s/s
Please folks use common sense, This is a virus and can be dangerous. Masks can help and this post of knowing when to wear them is imporntant. But as a health care professional I have to say not just any mask will protect you.
If you buy those mask packs in the store turn them over and you will notice a caveat: “not for medical use”. They are dust masks and will not protect against virus.
You must wear at least an N95 grade or better. And those cloth masks you make or buy> are useless. A mask is not a mask. Surely you don’t think we wear dust masks in surgery in the hospitals do you?
Those dusk masks are of no more help than a false sense of security. And most are made cheap in china. Get a medical grade mask and don’t wear the same one all day.
Even the best ones only last a few hours. Your best protection is washing your hands and keeping your distance. Just a few feet is good ... folks this is a good reminding post and we need to be vigilant. This virus is real. You don’t want to get it
“When to wear masks as Covid ...”
Never, that’s when.
Has any neutral party tested these masks to see how effective they are?
And here’s something else. There are all sorts of masks out there. You can get ‘em at a medical supply house. You can get ‘em at the dollar store. No one can tell me these masks all offer the same “protection”. Yet evidently if you are wearing a mask - any mask - you’re good to go. No questions asked.
This whole thing is nuts.
When you want someone to point and laugh at you.
The answer is the same as it ever was. When trick or treating or attending a masked ball.
The Branch Covidians should show up anytime now.
