Do you wear a face covering when going out in public during the COVID-19 pandemic?

... because I'm not a selfish idiot...

... because keeping the distance, and staying at home when having symptoms is what I have been told is the best method. Wearing facemasks when going out can give a false sense of security, and therefore have the opposite effect and make one into a selfish idiot.

Have looked into getting one. Seen them being sold by people next to the people selling strawberries here.

No , because all science points towards mask working while in public. All of it not one study shows otherwise. If you are following what we should be doing , you should not be out unless you need to be and when you are out wear a mask.

I find it a moral issue , those that don't seem to think about only themselves the opposite of what you are saying.

I do where it’s required, meaning shops and public transport. Outside I just keep my distance. If they changed the rules here, I would wear it but probably go outside even less

There should be a "sometimes" in there.

When I am out doors next to no one, I don't wear one.  When I am in close proximity or enter a public place I do.

Humanity is doomed when the big virus comes.   A bunch of selfish people who can’t even be bothered to wear a mask in an abundance of caution.   No other excuse than being selfish.

I don't go out in public 

No joke.

I leave the house to run before 6am.   
On the rare occasion that I see someone walking or running I cross the street.
I wore a buff for the first month and pulled it up over my mouth when I saw someone but stopped.
None of the people walking or running wear them but we wave at one another from opposite sides of the street 

I see lots of deer, more deer than people, but they don't wear masks either.

I did go to mail one item and I need to mail a poster to someone soon.
100% wore a mask that one time and will wear a mask any time I know I will be around people.

Also are we just doomed to always repeat history , if you look up anything from the 1918 flu world epidemic , that had people fighting against wearing mask. Saying their liberty was being taken away or the government was going too far. A frontline doc on the issue said around 50% of deaths could have been avoided had everyone worn face coverings.

Yet 102 years latter we are arguing over masks.

I would just like to also say I don't think anyone is taking about someone taking a hike or walk by themselves in woods or outside not around anyone else.

If you are out in public walking down a busy street in the city with other people on it , shopping of any kind and going into any business wear a mask for gods sake. 

Anything less is showing your true moral character , you don't know if you are an A-symptomatic carrier , so you could be savings someone else.

I feel like when they first said seatbelts had to be used by law I bet idiots argued it was their right to die in a car accident.
