Tbh I've only worn one a handful of times since they lifted the legal requirement.
They just don't seem to be effective enough to work, and they do only work to begin with if you have covid, and if you have covid symptoms you should be at home.
The fact we have no masks and in Scotland / Wales they're more restrictive yet still seeing similar relative numbers (plus they have vaxpasses) implies they aren't making a great deal of difference there.
The more important measures are
- Not going out and getting a test if you have symptoms of the virus
- If you're in close contact i.e. live with someone who has had it or been close to a positive test, test yourself if you're going anywhere
- Avoiding doing things which are unnecessary and working from home if you can
- Keeping social visits and house party type things to minimum
None of that needs face nappies or lockdowns to do, just using your common sense.
