Wearing Masks in the Era of Corona Pandemic

In 2022, Japan entered the third consecutive year of the corona 

pandemic. People will wear masks when they go out. I often forget 

about them when I go out for a daily routine like a haircut. I will lock 

my condominium door, ride my bicycle, and go to my favorite barber. 

Then I realize that I have no mask on my face. Do you know what I 

think? I am worried about my reputation: people may frown upon me 

for not wearing a mask in public. I am 100% Japanese now.
