I see a very small handful of obviously Democrat suburban soccer moms wearing them but that’s about it.

Re: 19 - I’ve had this happen a couple of times. I ask them to speak louder.

Seems like some people would wear a mask because they think you can get COVID from a toilet seat. Why they would want to be able to breathe with their head hovering over a toilet seat I have no idea, but then who am I to decide? /s

It is illegal to wear a mask to a political rally in many southern states. Known as the KKK laws, it prevents terrorists from hiding their identity. I’d like to see the KKK laws nationalized.

In eastern PA I’m seeing many people wearing them again.
Mostly overweight women and people in their early 20s…stupid runs deep.

“I rarely see masks where I live.”

Same for me here in East TN. Once in a while,, but hardly ever.

People who stuck by UK Covid rules have worst mental health, says survey

Those who followed the restrictions most closely when the pandemic hit are the most likely to be suffering from stress, anxiety and depression, academics at Bangor University have found

Or, per Albion Wilde…

It's backwards. People with the worst mental health are the ones who flocked to obey to all the restrictions, obediently worrying and feeling inferior to the almighty governments.

We see a few in the grocery stores... Based on the look, dress and mask type it’s some tourist from the city.

My next bumper sticker will be: IF YOU’RE NOT FROM HERE, LEAVE.

I’m in and out of NYC all the time and masks are pretty rare even there. Even before Covid you saw Asian women wearing them.

In the Biloxi area, I usually see 2-3 folks in Walmart with masks on...

“Rates of Covid” were always bogus, but the WP is dutiful in continuing the false narrative.

As I get older and really don’t care about the opinions of “Maskerbaters” any more, I find a little bit of “crop dusting” is the perfect silent revenge.

Yep, one of these days I’ll start acting my age but until then, I will continue to harass “Maskerbaters”

‘It’s obvious you can scare people into believing absolute nonsense and control their minds with so much fear, they become mindless globs of Jello.’

something organized religions have known for centuries, and have taken great advantage in so doing...

Oh, I wish I could take credit for that, but I was laughing at Right Brother’s comment at Post 12.

However, now they I’ve read that, I may just get a tickle in my throat on the rare occasion I see a masker. 😄😆

1. I see very few even in the woke area where I live and work.

2. They’re not healthy. Masks make it harder to breath fresh air — people and animals have open breathing holes for a reason. Not healthy just because doctors wear them in operating rooms.

“The American population” - written by somebody that is probably in a very liberal city. Sure, it might look that way from their viewpoint.

Where I am in Michigan they’re practically gone, quite rare to see at this point.

Same goes for all liberal reporters, they’re completely disconnect from anything outside their surroundings.
