Didn't the WHO come out recently saying if you are young and healthy that wearing mask isn't that important anymore?

It is still helpful

Asking everyone to wear cloth masks can help reduce the spread of the coronavirus by people who have COVID-19 but don't realize it. And countries that required face masks, testing, isolation and social distancing early in the pandemic seem to have had some success slowing the spread of the virus.

Even though it doesn't stop you from getting it, it reduces you spreading it when you're an asymptomatic carrier. Age doesn't matter afaik?

Since I've been 'isolating' for so long, me wearing one in public probably won't do much for me, nor do I see how I could be asymptomatic while being so careful. However people do as people see, me wearing one in public might reduce the 'barrier' for others to do the same.
