I’m ready to ditch the mask given the super low rates here, but the peer pressure is real.

+1. I wore mine grocery shopping this weekend because I didn't want to stick out, not because I think my cloth mask is doing anything. This was at Trader Joe's, and there were a handful of shoppers and employees not wearing one, so maybe it's slowly starting to change.

DH went to a different store and is less self-conscious than me and didn't wear one. In that case he said the only other person not wearing one was the store manager. He said other shoppers were staring at him the entire time, not necessarily an angry stare (as much as you could tell that with masks on, lol), more disbelief.

Where is this? I'm in Western Fairfax, and it's closing in on a 50/50 split in most places. And the elderly are leading the charge.

I’ve been the only one maskless a few times in NE DC grocery stores. No looks from anyone though. People just going on with their lives just as I am.

It's political theater. The more blue, or rather, the more progressive an area is, the more people are going to clutch into their masks. Places like Takoma Park will be the last to let go of masks.

The minute my kids don't have to wear them (which where I live is going to be Monday) the minute I am done with them.

Went to a walgreens in the midwest. You know who wore the masks? The early 20's workers. The middle aged manager, nope.

NP. I have to admit, the angry and uncomfortable stares make me even more happy when I’m not wearing a mask.

They should wear helmets and safety goggles too.

If we want to wear masks, leave us alone.

I had to deal with some of you jerks refusing to wear masks even when they were "mandatory" in MoCo.

Not everyone talks about diabetes, or their chronic health condition, or their fragile parents or kids. That's why many of us are wearing masks.

Where was this?

Sorry if you are being bullied, come to close in MoCo where almost everyone still wears voluntarily!

Anything that is not enforced is not mandatory.

Just make sure you’re at least wearing a surgical mask. The cloth mask isn’t doing anything, so if you’re wearing that you’re either dumb, a virtue signaler, or a dumb virtue signaler.

An older woman sitting next to us on a plane this weekend was wearing a very loose fitting cloth mask below her nose (and sometimes below her mouth). We didn't bother asking her to pull it up because we figured it didn't make a difference if it was on or fully off.

I stopped wearing mine a year ago after my second shot and haven’t looked back (besides the planes).
