I don’t know about all the rest of the country but here, in the belly of the DemocRAT beast in central Maryland, I see the phenomenon. On Sunday I went to Costco and was among the very small minority who were maskless. The percentage of Maryland adults over age 18 who have at least the first COVID-19 dose was 69.9% on Sunday. Costco had signs saying “MASKS NOT REQUIRED FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE VACCINATED— WE DON’T ASK IF YOU ARE. They don’t ask? Hell, vaccinated or not I wouldn’t be putting a mask on in the store. These people are all brainwashed to a degree that’s scary.
Yesterday Maryland advanced to having 70% vaccinated. I may be wrong but I expect the Governor to announce the removal of “all” mandatory mask restrictions today. And I bet this cesspool of DemocRATS to still be masking up.
Hogan removed the mask mandates on May 15.
We’ve concluded that the people who have been “vaccinated” are the ones still wearing the masks.
Here in Texas, I went into a Kroger that had a sign reading "Masks not required for those who are fully vaccinated". Aside from myself and maybe 4 others, everybody had masks on. I thought I could see fear in the eyes of the masked.
Went for some breakfast down in Charles County, Maryland. The “masks required” sign had been removed. Enjoying my breakfast, along with several other maskless patrons, I noticed a woman wearing her mask even while eating. She’d quickly pull the mask down to take a bite or a sip, then just as rapidly pull it back up.
All I could do was shake my head.
To compare: I went to Costco here in the Houston suburbs the first weekend after they ended their mask rule a couple weeks ago. Roughly 60% masked. I went again on Saturday, maybe 30% masked.
I work in downtown Houston, which has a network of pedestrian tunnels with food courts, etc. linking most of the office buildings. I haven’t worn a mask in them since the governor ended the mandate on 3/10. I did not see one other unmasked face in the tunnels until late April. Now, it’s about 50-50.
So we have less of it in Texas, but we certainly have some of it, at least in the cities. Probably much less in rural Texas.
One side-note: The number of people coming in to work in the office buildings in downtown Houston has EXPLODED in the last month. Judging by the tunnels and the parking garage, it is almost at pre-Covid levels. It looks like “work from home” isn’t going to be a permanent thing after all, at least for lawyers, bankers, traders, and executives. Predictions of the death of commercial real estate have been premature, just as they were after 9/11.
Nationally, the case number appears to be lower than the number of hospitalizations (see bar graphs). It’s low.

Let the Marxists be masked so we may all observe their presence.
