As the third wave, with the Delta form of the virus hits us, mask wearing is coming back for both the vaccinated and the not vaccinated. We planned to go see our daughter in Texas but travel restrictions are coming back as well, so idk.

I was getting ready to hang up my mask on the 4th of July but decided to keep wearing it when I'm out running errands.

I was amazed on Sunday morning when I made a Walmart run that I was one of only two or three people in the building with a mask.

Most people I see in other area businesses still wear masks.

I've also noticed a few people wearing a mask over their chin leaving both mouth and nose exposed. I'm not sure what that's about.

IMO wearing a mask is a small price to pay if it helps to keep me from having to fight for every breath.
 
Many of the stores and office buildings around here have signs saying, "Please wear a mask unless you are vaccinated." So most people are not wearing masks. I don't wear one any more. Aunt Bea, probably most of the people you see without masks have been vaccinated.

Well, I've already had it.

But if I need to wear a mask when I go somewhere, I'll do it. We've got a whole box of masks. Not a big deal for me.

We're both fully vaccinated, but if mandatory we will wear our masks again indoors. I keep one of mine in my pocket every single day, easy access if needed for any reason. The new coronavirus seems to be morphing constantly, and the experts are trying to keep up with it. Those who refused to get vaccinated for no valid reason, are just making things worse. My neighbor down the block is sickly and under medications, she cannot receive any vaccinations from what I understand from talking to her husband, he got the J&J, same as my husband and with no side effects.

I keep packages of mask in my car and a couple in a pocket or purse. Even though they are no longer required for us as we are vaccinated if the store is busy we mask up or don’t go in. Infections are rising in every state and the deaths are 244 a day. 😭.

Since March of 2020, I don't ever remember leaving home without my mask on, not once.

Rules keep changing weekly, but I'm going to continue wearing my mask everywhere.

Me too... we have 'freedom day '' on Monday.. people will only be required to wear masks on public transport and Hospitals..but i will continue to wear them in stores, and any areas where there are crowds..even if that means outside, where we have never been mandated to wear them...

yep I have masks in every bag, in my glove compartment .. I'll grab a new one out of the hall cupboard on the way out of the door and put it into my pocket for quick access to save me fumbling for one in my bag if I'm in a hurry etc...

I have Hand sanitiser in the car , and bags too...despite them saying it's not transferred through surfaces..I'm taking no chances...

I also have several different styles and types of masks.. from cloth with filters... to disposable, and I'm pedantic about disposing of a mask once I've used it ...

Just a quick note of an article In Infection Control Today entitled Cloth Masks are Useless Against Covid-19. To the extent the article is correct, one may be reminded of the day when "experts" prescribed wearing an asifetida bag to ward off a serious illness. :)

I often double mask depending where I am..if I'm in a high risk area for example.... with a disposable mask, topped with a cloth mask with a filter...

I know you're an anti -masker Jon, but I've got lung issues and I haven't had the vaccine so I do my best to keep safe...

Unfortunately, here its' been reported that 47 % of the C-19 victims this week ( and the numbers infected are rising rapidly).. are people who have had the vaccination...

What it's going to come down to eventually is this, they will have to admit they don't have a solution to this virus and will end up doing what has always been done for millenia when dealing with a pandemic which is to allow people to live, work, etc and let the chips fall where they may.

This vaccine was experimental and they can hang any name on it they want with FDA approval. It doesn't mean a thing. It was an experiment and everyone who participated was sort of a guinea pig in said experiment. It failed. If fully vaccinated people are getting sick then what is the point of vaccinating the world?

I am not an anti-masker! What I try to do is point out the fact that they they're not the protection people think they are. If people want or feel they need to wear them for whatever reason, then fine. I am not one of those people and I try not to use things that mostly don't work and can cause harm. If you're going to mask up a lot, you might want to have your masks tested after some use to understand what's breeding in them..
 
Where have they reinstated the mask mandate? In what countries? In what states? Thanks.
