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?
Going through the Nothern States 99% of the individuals I saw did NOT have masks on. Of the 1% that DID have masks on, 99% of them were female/oriental or wearing a niqab.
There's no point at all. I feel perfectly safe unmasked when outdoors. I just don't want people who would get upset to get all upset. I'm also wondering if there's an unspoken assumption if one is unmasked, that means one has been vaccinated. Don't know for sure.
"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. " AAAARGH that should have been "stepping OFF the curb if need be." The of/off is one of my pet spelling peeves here. I know a bunch of people are posting from phones and tablets and are constrained by autocorrect, but I have no excuse. :P
I definitely think in my state/county/neighborhood (86% vaxxed per the data map) there is an assumption that there is asymptomatic spreading and the unmasked unvaxxed is a regular Typhoid Mary spreading COVID everywhere.
I see people walking around the streets, alone, wearing muzzles.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m in a coma and just imagining all this madness.
