Are You Noticing Social Distancing And The Per Cent Of Mask Wearers In Stores Lately?

I started wearing my mask again a week ago.I've noticed the stores I go into regularly,most of customers are wearing masks as well,social distancing I rather be safe than sorry
 

It's a sad and disappointing mix in my area.

One of our neighboring counties just announced a 3% infection rate and our state fair is scheduled to open in a couple of weeks without any restrictions.

Masks will continue to be a fact of life for me.
 
Our town is only 38% vaccinated and the ICU is full so we're not going anywhere except to doctor appointments and masks are required in all clinical settings. The only other place we go out for is to get groceries and I'm continuing to order online (usually from Walmart) and then picking it up. We got a pick up order 2 weeks ago and people were flocking in and out of Walmart. No one had a mask on. My husband is getting a total knee replacement the end of this month so we're extra cautious (but always have been from the beginning) even though we've been fully vaccinated since February. We've even asked his kids to stay away.
 

I went to both Walmart and the supermarket this week, masks were recommended but not required. I'd say it was 60% without masks and 40% with, of all ages, young and old.
 
i don't understand the groups of older men who sit on top of each other in local fast food places drinking coffee and talking for hours without masks.they seem to be oblivious to covid.
 
Masks are back on for the most part around here in grocery stores which is the only place I'm going right now on a very limited basis. Mississippi is getting slammed and there are no mandates, but people are masking up for groceries.

I'm disappointed in our governor. He handled masks so well last year by implementing and lifting mandates by counties based on infection rates. That was a great psychological strategy in that people didn't feel like it was a never ending deal, and it highlighted the need to be cautious in areas with high infection rates moreso than a blanket mandate would have. Now that the more contagious delta is raging and hospitals are overwhelmed, he has not resumed that.
 
Our county is about 70% vaccinated. I used to wear a cloth mask, but because of the Delta variant, I wear an N95 mask when I go to the market.
I still social distance.

Nope, near zero around here.

I wore a mask to Walmart after my wife tested positive for Covid, and I think I was the only customer in the store with a mask.

I masked because I was unsure if I had or was going to get Covid at that point. So far have tested negative. I had the vaccine, but then so did my wife.

Went To Walmart to get my prescriptions and noticed maybe 60% masked 40% not masked and social distancing was pretty much still the case. In general at all other stores I would guess 65% are not wearing masks.

My state just reimposed the mask mandates, effective yesterday. If it goes as it did before, we'll have pretty good compliance. We have a fairly good rate of vaccination here, too.

When I was first married in the 70's, the military commissaries all had one way aisles, which used to drive me crazy. People would get really nasty if you accidentally went down one the wrong way.

I remember those one way aisles, too. In all the commissaries I was ever in, there was also the (unwritten as far as I know) that you didn't cruise up and down the meat counter with your basket. Rather, you parked your basket perpendicular to the meat counter and walked up and down the counter sans basket. It helped a lot with crowding, and generally sped up the meat shopping.
 
Just got back from a trip to Pennsylvania. Lovely weather! But I saw fewer masks there than I see in Texas. Surprised us for sure. I’m done with masking, personally. And no one here actually social distanced in grocery stores then or now.
