[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I know there are a lot of people on this board who aren’t from the DC area and I’m curious where OP and a lot of other posters to this thread live. Here in the DC area I still see tons of people wearing masks and I just don’t hear that much complaining or asking when other people are going to stop.  You certainly don’t get funny looks if you wear one and no one has ever asked me when I plan to stop. [/quote]

OP here. DC area, born and raised.

Yes about 80% of people are masked still in stores and things, but it seems like most are doing it because everyone's doing it, and people are waiting for others to make the move to stop wearing them before they follow suit. I just don't see the sense in it anymore. Vaccinated people are very, very rarely experiencing severity and to continue to insist on masking for healthy people is becoming absurd. [/quote]

PP here. I don’t assume at all that people around here are just waiting for others to take them off. I assume it’s because we don’t mind wearing them and we don’t want to spread or catch COVID. It’s pretty basic. [/quote]

Well, I took my DS to a birthday party this weekend at the house of a daycare friend.  First party like this in two years!! There was one family that wore masks when not eating/drinking, but the remaining 20ish attendees did not.  But they all wear them during the week to daycare, etc.  We’re all rule followers.

When MoCo has dropped the mask mandate before I’d still rarely see anyone in stores without one.  I continued to wear mine too, not because I necessarily wanted to but because I wanted to draw attention to myself even less.  Peer pressure is powerful.[/quote]
