So I noticed everyone is wearing masks again in Florida.

[cinematicdiversions]

Just came back from Costco where 2 weeks ago maybe 10% of the people wore masks now almost a 100%. No mandate just common people using common sense.

Most people just don't want to get sick and get others sick. The maskholes and the doomsters are a true minority. Only loud on social media. But in reality both groups are a tiny part of real Americans who are simply going about their lives.

1. I wish I was seeing that in my area.

Went to 2 stores this morning (Walmart and Giant Eagle). ...maybe 10 people were wearing masks (including me)

My county in Ohio is less than 50% vaccinated.... arrgh

[spinbaby]

9. Same here

I’m near you in western PA. The Giant Eagle had almost no one wearing masks. I felt very conspicuous wearing my N95, but I know probably half these people aren’t vaccinated.

2. But, unfortunately, when one of them is the governor, who

Has power to improve conditions but is doing anything but, there is a problem.

3. Maybe things have changed since Tues., when

I went shopping, but in the store where 2 weeks ago 80% were masked, now 15% were.

4. This was a Costco in Tampa (which was packed)

They are still giving out samples. And it is an area with homeowners not renters so the money is flowing like water.

Still I was pleasantly surprised at the noticeable increase of mask usage.

6. Tampa is probably a more progressive area than

where I live, but I live in a mega-senior community, where almost all are vaxxed and have been pretty good about masking — until this week. Maybe that will change again with all the negative news.

19. You will probably see more masks in the coming weeks

News sometimes takes awhile to trickle down

[marybourg]

20. Yes, I think so, too.

[Hugin]

5. This is what happened back in the Spring of 2020 as well.

Long before any official mandates.

[Treefrog]

7. Good to hear this!

Maybe people are finally wising up.

8. Have you been to Hillsdale County Mi.??

[Niagara]

11. I was there last October for an outdoor wedding.

From the toll road to Hillsdale, I stopped at 3 different gas stations. No public restrooms in any of them. I had to do my business behind a gas station.


TFG signs all over the place. My hometown is about 40 minutes from there, same thing with the signs. I drove through a village called Pioneer and was thinking to myself perhaps some of these Hillsdaler's should have purchased house paint instead of TFG oversized flags.



I had also stopped at a Dollar General and only one person besides me was actually wearing a mask even though there was a sign stating that masks were required inside.


I hope that heck that I never have to go back there.

14. Hillsdale County, MI

Home of the Hutaree militia.

[Niagara]

17. The sad thing is

I liked going to the Hillsdale County Fair as a kid. I always looked forward to it.




Now, as an adult recognizing indoctrinated residents, it's a scary area to visit.

[roamer65]

18. It's Magastan now.

Very scary.

[roamer65]

10. The cloth and cheap surgical masks won't work with Delta if you are unvaccinated.

Not with a virus with same infection rate as chickenpox.

May slow it a little bit, but not much.

Only a two dose mRNA vaccine and masking will reduce the infection rate significantly.

[Jose Garcia]

12. The unvacinated aren't going to wear masks anyway

[roamer65]

13. ...

Good.

Let natural selection do it’s thing.

15. What part of Florida? Ain't happening where I am.

[bedazzled]

21. palm beach isn't so great

from 20% a few days ago to maybe 40%. hopefully more today but i will always have two masks on...

[IBEWVET]

16. I am in TFG country in northwest Fl

last week in Winn Dixie about 10 percent of customers were masked. Today I went and about 90 percent were masked. So stuff it deathsentance.

[LeftInTX]

22. Went to Lowes and HEB in San Antonio, TX...It was pretty bad

It appears no one has gotten the memo.

There were a few people with masks, but that's it

No one was masked at Kwik Trip

[moondust]

23. In DeSantistan?

Kinda hard to believe after seeing their new record numbers: 21,683 on Saturday.

[cinematicdiversions]

24. Well people react to the numbers.

So when things get bad they bunker down, and after that passes they go back to normal.

[LanternWaste]

25. Are you going to allege those who wear masks are 'virtue signling' again?

[cinematicdiversions]

26. No. People use common sense.

When vir u s numbers are high and the CDC is recommending indoor masks people wear masks. When numbers have come down and the CDC doesn't require masks people don't wear them.

Covid isn't just a virus it is an IQ test. Most people just don't want to get sick or get anyone else sick. Most people even in Florida will do the right thing without being asked.

There is nothing villainous nor virtuous in wearing a mask. It is simply a tool to help prevent illness in a time of pandemic

[bedazzled]

27. Out today in palm beach

90% masks at publix, aldi and wholefoods
60% at Walmart

As I would suspect
