The ability to sit next to an actively sick person on public transit and not get infected is truly incredible. N95 masks are brilliant. I’ve never been able to avoid unnecessary infection before learning how to use these things during the pandemic. I don’t think I’d ever fully stop wearing. There’s very little downside in masking up in high risk settings like that.
I live in a small town, there’s not a lot of people about, and I don’t really go anywhere with public transit. I still mask up daily for my walkies with my dog. I haven’t gotten sick all year, and my overall respiratory health is better.
Don’t think I’ll stop masking anytime soon. I enjoy it.

You probably don’t need to mask up in the absence of people in close proximity in order to not get sick, but masking up isn’t harming you. :)
