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.

oh, as usual dear ... I guess it seemed like a good idea.

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.

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

I don't see many people wearing masks outside, and I don't wear one if I'm taking a walk outside. But if I stop to talk to someone, it's from a distance of at least 6 feet, and we don't talk long.

We went over to my mom's for Mother's Day, and the weather was warm enough that we sat outside* 6 feet apart (probably more), but didn't wear masks. No hugging, though, and I gave her her Mother's Day gift like a hostage exchange: she said, "I'll stand over here, you put the bag on the ground and back away, and then I'll come pick it up." Which was sensible, but fucking hilarious the way it was phrased.

*(If it was cold, the plan was to sit in their garage 6 feet apart, with space heaters, because my mom and stepdad are being super cautious and haven't had anyone in their house except them since March. And, you know, my Mom will be 74 next month, which makes my stepdad...62, I think. So my mom is definitely in a high-risk group. I'm not going to insist on going in their house if they're going to get stressed out about it.)

I have not left the house in a gazillion years. TCG and ltc don't wear masks when they're outside (they don't get anywhere near anyone), but TCG does wear them if anyone else comes into the building he works in or if he does any errands.

It's mandatory in San Francisco.

We even masked up when ordering from the carhop at Mel's Diner yesterday. There's a fair amount of people who don't wear a mask outside in North Beach, especially around the park, but we try to avoid those areas.

(As an aside, Mel's Diner's food is just okay, but MY GODS it was nice to be eating somewhere Not Our House. Even if it was our car.)

I'm basically wearing a mask whenever I go outside because it's impossible to stay six feet away from anyone in my building stairwell or on an average city sidewalk.

I don't think I've been anywhere since the restrictions changed here, don't know how people are behaving.

I finished my work day, took a cool shower, and am lying down in the dark. I can't quite point the fan right at me but it's moving the air around a little. Bearable this way.

Yikes!

Masks are required here in every store, and no one is really questioning it. Although I have had a few customers say they "forgot" when they come into the bakery (and I immediately inform that masks are required). Only one guy refused to leave and held the neck of his t-shirt over his mouth while ordering.

I don't wear my in the car but I will put it on when I'm getting takeout from the person in the window. I usually put it on while walking the dog, too.

It's required here, but also the level of enforcement varies pretty widely -- at the grocery store, pretty much everyone is masked, but at Home Depot/Lowes, it's probably more like 75% (which is already enough to give me screaming anxiety). And we're in uptight liberal-ville, by NC standards -- looks like down around the coast, they've ditched the whole idea.
