Illinois dropped its mask mandate about a month ago. I guess about %75 of the people still wear masks while shopping in my metro area. There has been a mixed mask requirement by businesses since the end of the state mandate. Some took the signs down immediately while others left them up. Some changed the signs from required to recommended. More and more businesses have been removing the signs in the last few days..
Monday when I went for a pedicure, everyone was mask-less, even the employees. The owner and most of the workers are Asian, so I was surprised — and happy. I’ve had short discussions with the owner, and he’s very pro free enterprise and loves the American Dream, so I consider him a patriot.
Maybe 10% of people here wear masks. Maybe less.
I just spent two weeks in Michigan and Indiana. Lots of stores still had their signs up but said nothing when I ignored them all.
I’m back in Maryland now but haven’t really been to any stores this week to see how the sheep are doing.
A lot of signs read “Fully Vaccinated” can skip the masks. I’m not proving my status to anyone
“Illinois dropped its mask mandate about a month ago.”
It’s been almost universally ignored out here in the burbs for months.
