Are people still wearing masks where you live?

That's why I never wore a mask, because I'm immune to viruses.
Immune people like me who never wore masks are the reason the pandemic is now over.
Because we've been considerate this whole time by spreading our immunity around to others.
Thank goodness for people like me who've been saving the whole rest of the world. It hasn't been easy.
There are still some people who think poisoning themselves is a helpful solution but they're wrong about that.

I understand and respect your choice. Bit I had all my vaccinations because I was too scared not to.
 

There aren't many people wearing masks around here anymore. I see a few who are elderly, and some store clerks. What's interesting is that often their masks are pulled down below their noses. What's the point if you're only going to wear it half way?

It is in my area... up 5% in a week when it had been going down very nicely for weeks. :cry:

What will they do if it goes back up again? After all, that’s been the pattern for the past 3 years. It has gone down in the spring, then late summer a new variant comes along and fall/ winter is horrendous… especially following the Holidays. Now we have nothing in place anymore. 🤷‍♀️
 
I have had a couple of recent hospital appointments and they are supplying hand sanitizer and free masks as you go in but, once inside, few people seemed to be wearing them.

I noticed lately we are rarely seeing people with masks on including us! I see people wearing a mask once in a while at stores and not that much in doctors offices either.I am also not hearing about COVID on the news either that much! Thanks!

Seniors living in senior housing do because of keeping everyone safe. Then there are those that wear them for various protection reasons. I am not wearing one right now.
 
I saw several people at a small local grocery store wearing them a few days ago and I was surprised.
 
my doctor's office finally dropped the mask mandate. When they required it, i felt like i was smothering. How did we all do it especially in the heat of summer. When I see people with one on in a sea of people unmasked, i think how is that protecting you. i am so done with it.

At the height of Covid, this is what I saw constantly. What the heck?
 
When I see a masked individual today I suspect either something really contagious going on there or more likely somebody still in the grip of paranoia. Way down the list comes "hiding from cameras and face recognition software."

That's not to say Covid isn't still being diagnosed or that some populations may not still be vulnerable to variants currently in the wild.
 
Ran into an older lady that I know and the few times I've seen her out she was wearing a mask. I asked if she had been sick, she hadn't. What had happened is that her denture was broken and until she had enough money to buy a replacement she was too self conscious to be seen without it. She's a real sweetheart, I felt bad for her.

The only other person I regularly see wearing one is the pharmacy delivery guy.
 
Not mandated anywhere where I live now.

Hospitals and nursing homes until recently but not required there now either (you do still have to do a RATS test before entering nursing homes)

I still see a few people wearing masks - either because they are immuno-compromised or because they have something contagious.
 
Yes, a few, in some places. I still wear one myself if I'm in a crowd. I see some people still wearing them outdoors which makes no sense, but people do what they do.
