It's mandatory on public transport but otherwise nobody wears a mask anywhere.

Yes. I am mandated to wear one at all times at work, I wear one for trips to the store. I don't do anything social, I don't wear one for solo activities like running in the park or bike rides.

Yes, always, unless I'm in a car.  Simpler to just always have it on than to fiddle with it constantly.

Yes, always.

P.S. I am US American

Even at home? In the car by yourself?

I think the "Yes, always" answer is too broad here.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't wear one at home.  :P

If I'm going someplace, I put the mask on before I get out of the car and then I don't take it off till I get home and have washed my hands.

The question does specify about when you leave your house.

I wear a mask outside, at work, and with other people because I am not a whiny bitch.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Inside I wear a mask when I cannot socially distance, i.e. walking around in shops, the office, in restaurants, in public transport etc. I don't wear a mask when I sit at a table with appropriate distance to the next table, neither in the office nor in restaurants - even when the waiter is just serving, which I guess makes little sense.

I rarely wear a mask outside, mainly when I directly talk to others. I try to avoid crowds, which works most of the time. I wear a mask queuing sometimes - I guess I should be more disciplined there.

Do shops and such where you live refuse service to unmasked people?  I have yet to see an unmasked person turned away from a place that has a sign requiring masking.
Yes, I have seen that in supermarkets hotels, shops etc.

It only says that if I read it. :mellow:

I saw someone in the super market with a mask once. My wife, who works in a store, says that some customers use masks. It is not mandatory here.

Sad to see what the nation that gave us The Brain has become.  :(

No, it's not required anywhere and the government has said it's not needed and that it probably won't help.
