I don't like wearing a mask, but I do it for the safety of those around me and for my own safety.  Whenever possible, I don't go out at all. 

If you look at the states that have a mask rule in effect and a map of their cases, not a single state that has a mask rule in effect has had an uptick in cases.

While wearing a mask is annoying, perhaps we'll finally be able to open up our economy if we practice this.  As long as people are not wearing masks, this will go on and on indefinitely.  Look at the European countries that have required masks - their cases are significantly less than ours.  We've already lost thousands of people to COVID-19.  We know better, so we must do better.  Keep the masks.
