16. I'll wear mine mostly because no one else will be able to tell I'm vaccinated

One I am vaccinated, of course... 12 days and counting until my first injection. Hoping it turns out to be J&J, so I'm one-and-done, but it could be another seven weeks until I'm maximally protected.

I'm not going to be all that personally worried about getting infected, unless I hear specific news about dangerous resistant strains. But it's still polite and setting a good example to mask up until everyone gets the go-ahead to shed their masks.

Also, now that people have gotten used to seeing masks all over the place, I might consider using my masks from time to time in the future, perhaps during flu season, or when I'm feeling ill myself.
