Here in my neighborhood, it’s a mix of masked and unmasked. I’m unmasked if I’m in the open air and not close to other people. I have to put the mask on if I enter a business. It’s all up in the air about what happens next here.
It’s also hard to gauge people’s reactions on the street. I’m more comfortable with doing a “do si do” unmasked with a passing unmasked pedestrian, with one of us stepping of the curb if need be. If I see someone with a mask on approaching me, my mask goes on, as a matter of courtesy and to set the other person at ease.
The other day I was passing someone on the street (she had her mask down to her chin and was sipping a can of soda), my mask went up as I passed her and I heard her grumble, “Thank God I’m vaxxed and all that s&&$t.”
Here, we rarely see any masks worn outside. Maybe restaurant servers. I feel so bad for them, especially now with temps hovering 100º.
Fewer and fewer, inside.
What is the point of wearing a mask outside, when you’re likely not closer than 6’ away from people, and, if passing....only 2’ away for a brief time?
