We have never stopped wearing ours, but mostly because of my wife's condition. I don't dare go out without it.

Got covid a day ago. They went to my uncles funeral in Virginia on the North Carolina border. They both were wearing N95's . They both are vaccinated and boosted all shots up to date..

South in red hat territory where people ditched thier masks so many more would get infected and die. I don't know what killed my uncle it could have been old age covid or both.

You can't pay me to be around people in the south right now even with a mask on.
They are dangerous . And so is thier breath.

Almost only the grocery store cashiers wear masks.

And the medical clinic had to re-institute mask handout persons to ensure everyone got masked up.

Maryland. Good thing my day program still requires masks,except when we eat lunch.
The tables and seats are distanced tho.

I still wear my mask but as soon as I get outside away from the store and people I take it off. Getting really sick of wearing it.
But I'd be way sicker if I caught covid.
