Wearing a mask in my office as I type this. And I'm not even sure if it's for myself, or my crew. Or for no reason at all. I'm really not.
Totally different movement here in Charlotte, where at least 50% have tossed the mask.....Surprised WVa has gone the other way, hopefully it's just temporary.

In the liberal county I live in, I'd say at least 80% of people still mask up in stores. My wife and I still get weird looks at times -- as though we're out of our minds for walking around with naked faces.

In my Maryland interactions it varies.

Doctors offices, pharmacies,... mask required
Grocery, Clothing mask optional, most unmasked but employees and some clusters masked.

At the current state of spread and variant, my style is pretty much just common sense.

Be patient and polite, and take turns using a space with others. If you plan to go where there is a large close knit group and/or kids running around keep a mask on your chin and put it up if you get in a tight spot. If you approach a masked person to talk in close quarters, usually put your mask on, as well.

those who wear a mask at all times (unless you are at high risk), Or those who feel wearing a mask is always bad/uncool = both groups are silly IMO. But to each their own.

I agree. The object of that game is to get the players back on their feet.

I can go with all of that, they screwed the health care system and turned good hospitals into dumping grounds. It is not like there are no beds for Covid-19, it is more like having beds full is a money making thing that they all were on board for prior to Covid-19.

Looks like it's time for Gov Gruesome to lock down the entire state of CA ASAP.

The vaccines are mutating, combining with a weak NU strain to form a super-virus...
