We haven't been that locked down here. Places like beauty shops and others have been closed but mostly it's been business as usual. They open this week. The businesses are requiring their employees to wear masks and asks that customers do but they don't require it. The only people here that have a problem about other people wearing masks are the far right extremists vigilantes that don't like them wearing them for some reason. Yes, we have our version of bleach drinking pod eaters too. IMO, nothing you voluntarily do to protect yourself is left or right. As long as it's a choice that doesn't harm anybody else it shouldn't be a big deal.
I think that's the difference. We aren't forced. Forcing people to wear them is wrong unless it's your employer forcing you. The public shouldn't be forced.You don't get harassed here for not wearing a mask. I don't care if a person wears one or not. I just keep my distance from those. I figure that if they don't care about their own health they surely won't care about mine. These people aren't libs either. My County is mostly Conservative. I know masks aren't perfect but they are a few layers between you and somebody else and are better than nothing.
