To whomever it may concern,
I strongly think that you should wear your mask, correctly, and here is why.
First of all, wearing it over your mouth but not covering up your nose does not count! It still lets germs fly into the air every time you breathe. Also, you might not think it protects you to wear a mask, but it protects others. Isn't that important too? If everyone wore a mask, you and so many others would be protected. And if so many kids can wear it to school each day, no matter how uncomfortable they are, why can't you?
Next, every time you breathe out, tiny little germs and droplets of water fly out of your mouth or nose. Sometimes, these germs can carry the Covid-19 virus. If someone gets sick just because you don't wear a mask, and you are thinking, Well, it's only one person, then think of all of the people that don't wear masks correctly or at all.
Face masks actually can be comfortable. They come in some super cute patterns if you don't like the plain ones, and there are many different options besides the regular one like neck gaiters, masks with shields, and even bandanas!
You don't have to wear a full hospital suit every time you want to get fresh air, but please, wear a mask, even if you are just going for a short walk. I am pretty sure you want the pandemic and quarantine to end, right? I do too, and if you wear a mask (PROPERLY, people), you are going to help end this pandemic.
