I live in southern Illinois, right across the river from Missouri. First stop the grocery store..saw several wearing a mask and made a comment to one lady; "you watch the news", she said yes...but not repeated at any other business, except for employees. Looks like it will be a slow start, but cases in my area have risen to the highest number we have had, this is just the beginning of Delta virus in Illinois...
I was on and off for a little when things were opened up in our state, Washington. Bit now with all the delta and gamma variety news. Mask is back on anywhere I go in public
What I'm seeing is about 50/50 masks vs no mask in my area.
I honestly think we're all going to be going into some form of modified lock down within the next 2 months.

Wear your damn masks everyone.
Even a cloth mask is better than no mask

I knew we at DU would take the Delta variant seriously..

I do some shopping in person. We ordered loads of kn95, they are much cheaper now too. Dont forget that these should not be reused, especially now with delta. They only last a few hours as well. Stock up now while the price is low.
