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

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

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.)

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.
It's mandatory in San Francisco. If you do not wear one you are kicked out. In fact, I got into a yelling fight with a guy at a cafe last week on this very subject. He left.
I told him he was an asshole and has endangering the people who work there.
He said he didn't like my tone.
I told him that if he acted like an asshole he should expect to be notified of this fact.
He said he was going to kick my ass.
I said he had no excuse for his selfish behavior. The signs were clearly posted on the front of the cafe. Then I turned my back on him. They gave him his bagel and he left in his nice new SUV.
So except for him it's been 100%.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gud, don't let anyone interfere with your freedom to wear a mask!
In my area, a large majority wear masks indoors. Outdoors, not so much.

I don't wear a mask when I'm just walking outside alone or going to a drive-thru, but any time I actually go into a store I'll be wearing one. Few are wearing masks outdoors or at grocery stores here, but at least actual store employees and restaurant workers seem to be wearing them.

A black widow bite as a toddler resulted in horrible painful surgeries for my uncle and being lame all his life. The doctors told my grandparents he was lucky to have survived it.

Our wings are not tired.
Just curious, about how many people wear masks when you are at a store these days?
100% in Broward & Dade counties (Fort Lauderdale & Miami), and still about 90% in Palm Beach county although they aren't required here anymore.
eta: some stores in PBC require them despite the state lifting the requirement
