[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the crazy number of posts, but just got back from vacation to a place in the west where maybe 10% of people were wearing masks. Then went to Whole Foods here yesterday (masks not required) and 99% of the people were wearing masks. I had back to back business meetings just before vacation. At one, in TN, there were no masks at all. Not at the hotel, in restaurants, in the meeting. In the other, in PA, we had to test to attend and be masked the whole day. I’m ready to ditch the mask given the super low rates here, but the peer pressure is real. [/quote] +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. :D 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. [/quote] 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.[/quote] 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. [b]Places like Takoma Park will be the last to let go of masks[/b]. [/quote] Well this attempted swipe at progressives didn't age well ... TKPK has alreqady rescinded mask mandates https://www.sourceofthespring.com/takoma-park-news/2789889/takoma-park-rescinds-indoor-mask-mandate/[/quote] It aged just fine. They're not quite last but waiting until March 9 has them as an extreme outlier. The Oregon mandate ends March 11. Hawaii ends March 25. [/quote]
