If I'm feeling sick, or my family is, I will wear one to work, the whole point of them is to minimize spread of disease.
I think this has been the norm in asian cultures since way before covid.
Japan and Korea. Ain't no such thing in South East Asia.
We wear mask becaise of pollution 🙃
Pollution is our reason, and if a public place is too crowded with possibility of ill-mannered sneezers. COVID is a thing of the past.
Indeed. Western society tends to be individualistic and forgets that masks are primarily used to protect those around you from disease.
Tends to? They beat us over our heads with their selfishness through COVID.
"Why are you wearing a mask?!?" Because I didn't want to get you sick, thanks for returning the favor.
If you're feeling sick you should stay home.
I agree, but the bosses boss wants butts to warm the seats. I make sure those days have time taking to bosses boss. Some day, they may get the point.
Just out of curiosity - no judging, but why do you go to work when feeling ill?
No work no money. No money no food. No food, die. RIP
A lot of people get paid by hours worked so not showing up means a lower monthly income. And hourly contracts don’t have sick leave in many cases. At least in several countries around the world.
I work from home, with about one day in the office a week, if it's something minor, or I think it's just seasonal allergies, I'll still go in.
Not an American, I take it?
This right here. It just makes sense and is the ethical thing to do for those around you.
