[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vaccinated fully since early April. I had a few months of relaxing - coming and going as I pleased. I've always masked but had relaxed - one cloth mask. Now with all this talk about Delta and how quickly it's spreading (30% of US cases are now Delta as opposed to 10% a week ago) + how you only need a few seconds of exposure + how if it breaks thru the vaccine people still get really sick (so the vax doesn't guarantee asymptomatic or mild) + combined with the fact that life is resuming, I'm expected to be in office buildings and elevators etc. while most people are stopping masking (or maybe only 40-50% are masking in any situation), is it time to go back to double masks or KN95?

Or is the vax (mRNA) still holding up enough that this isn't necessary? I mean I figured I'd be back to double masking in the fall - not in the heat of the Virginia summer.[/quote]

Who cares about the heat? It is better to be safe and alive. You are going to protect yourself and the community. [/quote]

Agreed. And honestly I never indoor dined etc. but would still go inside restaurants to pick up takeout -- nope -- restaurants are packed with unmasked people so for me it's back to curbside, back to lots of packaged goods grocery shopping curbside, and then going once every 1-2 wks for produce etc. usually on a weekday mid morning/off time.[/quote]
