Should people still be wearing masks everywhere? Are they?

[Overitall]

When you go out, what percentage of people do you see are still wearing masks?

Are you still wearing one when you go out? Do you think everyone should still be wearing them? Inside, outside, schools, other specific places?

Please discuss.


For me, I don't wear one anymore anywhere. I see a handful of people, maybe, when I'm out and about wearing them but it's pretty much over here.

I'm relaxing more. Most people in my vicinity don't wear them any more. About the only place they are required are in medical facilities (not my dentist office).

I don't think it's necessary at the moment,

and how did you come up with this... thought?

What is the infection rate in your town, city, County, region, state?
What numbers change your opinion?

Do you consider trends? How so? What do you look at?

 

[noonereal]

Should they? That's a choice of an individual. Do they really need to wear a mask? NO! The democrats and the current President keep pushing it but then they don't wear masks themselves. The recent celebration of Kentanji Brown to the SCOTUS exhibited how masks are not needed. The President and The new Scotus didn't bother and they were extremely close as were most all the guest. The same is true of President Obama's recent trip to the White House, practically nobody wore masks.

If a person has a fear, wear a mask. If they have some serious health issues that makes them at greater than normal risks, then wear a masks. Please democrats, stop the hypocricy.

The people with health issues are the ones that need others to wear their masks.

Oh yeah. **** them. We are free!!!!!!

I think it's a little less than half and half, with the slightly larger number not wearing masks. I tend to be on the cautious side because of my age and the fact I have an elderly family member we see to and three of my four grands are too young to be vaccinated.

I wear one in indoor, public spaces and will not eat indoors at a restaurant, the patio sure! I'm comfortable with my choice but I am also comfortable with that of others as long as they don't push me on it.

 

[Fledermaus]

I live in So. Cal., and from my observations, less than 10% are wearing them anymore, and I'm counting the people I see working at stores and restaurants who might still be required by their employers.

General public this is true.


At the local casino maybe a third wear them due to proximity with strangers.

Rivers Casino here in Pittsburgh never opened back up the buffet, just the restaurants. Is it the same there?

Fully vaccinated and boosted.

We have a number of Indian Casinos in SD county.

One closed the buffet and is getting a high end restaurant.

Others haven't reopened their buffets.

I‘m in the poker room at my casino now. Maybe 5 out of the four hundred ish people here have a mask on.

Buffet still closed at my Casino in AZ.

Which coast are you near. West coast has a high proportion of Asian gamblers. Some of which wore masks pre COVID.

At the best if times a buffet doesn't do it but in these times ...no thanks!

I keep one with me, and my rule is if the workers where I'm going are required to wear them, then I'll wear one, whether it's required of customers or not.

I'd say the majority still wear them in grocery store in my area, but it's definitely dropping, and when my company opened their new office they never even set a clear policy, and basically no one wears them there any more.

I guess it's fine, but it also seems like we started dropping our guard just when kids were going back to school, which doesn't seem like the ideal time.

Any big outbreaks in Calif.?

 

[Ginger Ale]

I wear one but I'd say very few people still wear them here in AZ. I've found they help a lot with other things as well, especially allergies and dust. I'll probably always wear one.
It's also nice if you don't want to wear makeup.

The pandemic isn't over and I'm not acting like it is. When it's over, then maybe I'll think about it. I don't feel harmed by wearing a mask at all, unless obvious looks from those who feel their freedom threatened when I walk in is considered harmful. So, another good use of this mask is it's a stupid as **** meter. Really sorts those people out for me. They let me know right away. lol

So far I've not been sick with anything which is a bonus. For some reason, they seem to work for me. Maybe I'm special. lol

I still do when in a crowded store, for example; the BA.2 variant is still circulating, and although restrictions have been lifted people are still being hospitalised, and thus it still pays to be cautious. There is no 'normal' to return to as far as I can tell, Covid hasn't gone away, and our government is pushing an attitude which suggests Covid should be regarded as seasonal flu is-something to live with. I'll be getting my second booster soon, as the protection given by my first, back in November '21, is now waning.

I wear one outside a fair amount. But it has more to do with preventing issues with my asthma. Once we started losing the masks outside....my usual asthma patterns re-emerged. I have heard a number of people say the same thing. Especially from parents with asthmatic kids.

I wear one for work full time, that is no big deal, I am an ICU RN. I am more than ok with being careful with mask removal there,

Outside, in general not a lot of use. Inside - where no requirement is posted....it is a mixed bag.

A month ago...I pretty much lost my mask ....within a week, my asthma was out of control and I was on large doses of prednisone. Back to masking. I am trying to be thoughtful about wearing one - watching pollen counts, weather, etc. I find the cloth mask with the replaceable filter insert is more than adequate for this purpose.

Kamala Harris didn't consider any of these questions when she HUGGED " the first black woman" to the Supreme Court for a photo op. This administration is the biggest group of hypocrites EVAR!

When I go to the stores, most people do have masks on. What percentage, I have no idea. Maybe 2/3rds, 3/4ths, maybe more at some stores. I wear them as does the wife.

I do in busy places where I cannot maintain a good distance. Also in any medical/dental places where it is still required.

I asked you a series of questions.

You have no clue what the infection. Rate is or has ever been. In other words, your posts on this are totally meaningless.

Ignorant propganda. Mindless tribal utterances.

Garbage.
