I wear a mask any time I'm outside my apartment or my office. At the store, most people wear masks. The public transit system requires masks and most people seem to comply. Outside, walking around ... it's fewer and fewer people.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary took Mr. S out to play, and of course small boy got all muddy, so a bath is going on now....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Just curious, about how many people wear masks when you are at a store these days?

It's required by law here. And people will get angry if you're not wearing one.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Just curious, about how many people wear masks when you are at a store these days? Seems like it's fallen to about 10% in my area.

I've only gone to the grocery store in the past 2 months, and at this point, it's about 70%, I think, +/- 5%. Less than I would like, but honestly more than I expected.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's required in Rhody, so everybody is wearing one in stores. Outside is different.

I have to admit it feels a little weird to go someplace where you are literally the only person wearing a mask, but that's happened to me a couple of times.

Sounds like it's really different elsewhere in the country.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Required here also. I see people walking without them and some teenaged boys hanging out on the corner when I drove around, but in stores, everyone has been wearing one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Required by law in NY and I haven't seen anyone not complying indoors. (The guidelines for outdoors are a bit fuzzy - most folks wear masks to walk around town but not to exercise. We went for a hike this weekend and it was about 50/50 on the trails.)
