Joe just wane to change the subject. If it wasn’t for coming to free republic I wouldn’t even know Covid was still a “thing” at this point.
Though I see a few more people in masks than a few weeks ago.
I just don’t know if regular Americans care that much anymore. Everyone who wants to be vaccinated are vaccinated. Those that got the Vax don’t care if you’re not since they think they are protected (though thats questionable)
If that were only the case. Karen got vaccinated and is "protected" but that isn't good enough for her to take her mask off and of course for you keep yours on no matter what, or else she is telling on you.
That is my experience as well.
A bunch of stores here in the liberal Upper Valley, are now requiring face masks again.
I don't believe there's a state mandate. I think it's the businesses themselves.
It's still being fairly ignored.
