What is kind of your gauge for when you feel comfortable without a mask and when you feel like you should definitely be wearing a mask? I think we should be wearing masks all the time. For me, it's just like, oh, it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'm just always wearing my mask. Typically, I wear it inside and outside all times. I feel like whenever I'm in public, I should always be wearing masks, especially around other people. Because the vaccinations rollouts have been largely to more privileged communities, I think there's a lot of people that are aren't able to receive the vaccinations and I still want to wear my masks to ensure I'm being socially conscious for them. If I had a friend that was like that, they wouldn't be my friend very long.

So, you know, not everyone's going to get vaccinated. That's kind of an unfortunate statistic. Cleary about getting the vaccine? I was not. I was ready to go. I was like, just put it in me. We're not going to trust everyone to be vaccinated. So we're keeping our masks on. Where do you usually get your information on, on, on? Just social media sides, the news. Honestly, a lot of it comes through social media. So, like, just, you know, following sources such as, you know, CNN or MSN and all that.

I'm so used to wearing a mask. I don't really remember just not wearing it out in public anymore. I'm so used to the mask now that even if they say, like, oh, you don't really have to wear a mask, I might just wear it just in case.
