NH is big on limited government as well, and during the Covid lockdowns, we were among the first states to open up.
Lots of leftists wearing masks even today, but even the mask mandate Sununu put into effect had so many exceptions to it that you were more likely to be exempt from wearing a mask than having to.
Plus a lot of businesses wouldn’t comply. The one I liked the best was the one which had a sign in their door that said *We mask by choice, not by mandate*.
I walked in and saw no one wearing a mask and asked if it was OK and they said yes, and I took mine off immediately.
I also walked the wrong way down the supermarket aisles. Got a few dirty looks, but who cares. I’d rather cross where some infected person had been for a short breath or two, than walk in their wake behind them constantly breathing in their infected air. Think of following a smoker or someone wearing too much perfume. I figured any virus particles would be the same.

That’s a great point - this whole covid scheme is filled with inconsistencies and not thinking through the ‘advice’. The grocery stores I went to didn’t have the guiding steps, but I don’t go into the big chain stores much.
NH is a breath of fresh air in New England. Thought about moving there, it’s beautiful as well!
