I will say that while I was still working (recently retired) that if I caught even a hint of someone I worked with getting something transmissible, I masked up. If I felt like I was getting something transmissible, I masked up.
But, I also had to mask for years as a child because of my brother and his multiple surgeries. He had transposition of the great vessels, and we all learned that in order to keep him healthy, and recovering, we had to wear masks. Which is why when we were all called on to do it, I never had a problem complying, nor did I understand when others poo-pooh'd it.

In even remotely crowded spaces. I grocery shop at 6 AM so I don't then (only a few re-stockers in the store)

Hi. Never stopped wearing them outside my apt, in stores, other buildings. Generally taken off outside...

Both my wife and I do. If we're out of the house (and out of the car) we're masked.

I don't, but I still see people at work wearing masks, almost exclusively women
