If someone you're with is wearing a mask, don't ask if they want you to wear one, too. Just put one on.

Masks have become contentious and it's really uncomfortable to be on the side of asking someone to mask. Don't put someone in the position of feeling like they have to give you their personal health history to rationalize their request. Just put a fucking mask on.

@Nickittynic exactly. Thank you so much. For me, it’s the healthcare providers that ask me if they should put one on. Putting the burden on me to ask them to reduce transmission (of anything).

@JenJoop Ugh, that's awful. I want to say that as a former nurse I'm surprised that a healthcare provider would be uneducated enough ask that and not already be masking, but as a patient I'm not at all surprised.
