your hand can block some spit if it's in the right place but that doesn't mean the spit was going to make you ill. i never cover my face if someone sneezes & the people i hang out with don't go around sneezing at me

who is taking a deep breathe right into the jet stream of a sneeze or a cough into your face? what kind of people do you hang out with?

so you just complied because others were?

nobody sneezes in my face. what type of people are you hanging out with? i never cover my face when someone sneezes or coughs, the people i hang out with usually cover their own mouths, sometimes someone might sneeze without covering their mouth, i still don't cover mine & i don't get sick. my zero works fine
Shitty people in New York City, malicious people, pop density is unavoidable, sneezing coughing heavy breathing right in your face on buses, subways, trains, in elevators, etc.

I didnt care if others wore the mask. So no it wasnt cuz of others wearing.
if it's that bad out there for you with shitty people, malicious people, population density, sneezing coughing heavy breathing right in your face on buses, subways, trains, in elevators etc then why are you still not wearing a mask if that's what you believe causes your illness? do you usually do things that you think are ineffective?
