In the month before we had to wear masks, about 75% of the people in any given store were wearing them.

Wow, where do you live? I don’t remember it being that many here in SE Florida. Maybe half? When we first “had to”, I would go into the stores making “baaaaa! baaaa!” sounds. We refused to buy masks, and my husband just took a second t-shirt and wore it around his neck, and pulled it up over his nose, until I made him one like mine out of leftover patio screen.

And now we have no mandate, but most stores continue to require them. I don’t know if it’s by corporate policy, or whether the (blue) county continues to override Gov. DeSantis. (Can they even do that? I’m too lazy to look it up!) But anyway, more and more people, especially employees, wear them below the nose as long as they can get away with it, and I don’t blame them. I would love to see and join anti-mask grassroots protests, if there were any...

Ohio.

As best I remember, it was sometime in June when we had to wear masks. At first, it was just a county or municipal thing.

But, yes, before we HAD to wear them, 3/4 of people were wearing them. I went to the grocery store a lot in those days, just to walk around and smile at the masked people.

It’s funny that you “baaaad” at people. My aunt and I did too. It was her idea. I was so excited when she came up with it. Those were good times. I look forward to being maskless and “baaaing” again.

The first time I went to go into a store that had a sign that masks were mandatory, a very nice young lady happened to reach the door at the same time. She had a lot to say about how stupid it was. She gave me a mask from a bag in her car. She worked at a doctor’s office, where masks where already mandatory per earlier edicts, but the doctors thought it was stupid that they were.

We talked for a while. I introduced her to Q and listed some websites for her to check out.
