Poll: Do you wear a mask to protect yourself or others?

Good afternoon. In this poll, I want to ask you: do you wear a mask to protect yourself or others. It is an important nuance that this is specifically a poll and that I am personally asking you whether you wear masks or not. The reason is that when I enter this search query into Google, I do not see the answer I actually need. It is very important for me to see real statistics from people on this topic — do you wear a mask to protect yourself or others.

This poll was created back in 2023, or possibly even in 2022, but I believe it is still relevant in 2026. Personally, it is clear to me that in 2026 very few people are still afraid of COVID; it has already become something fully understood, almost routine. And that is no longer the most important issue.

For example, if I get sick and I know for sure that I am ill, that I have a cold or the flu, I always think about treating other people the way I would want them to treat me. That is why, in such cases, I wear a mask and go to the doctor or to a public place if it is absolutely necessary. Of course, it is better to stay at home, but if I do have to go out, I go wearing a mask. That is exactly why this poll asks: do you wear a mask to protect yourself or others.

I am genuinely curious how many people do the same. So please vote in this poll and share your opinion in the comments. I mean, write comments — I will read everything.
