I went in a coffee shop last night and realized I wasn't wearing a mask and no one else was, either. I felt naked. I've been good about wearing masks indoors since the beginning save for a 1 week stretch when I got lax and then got throat cooties. Since then I've been very careful.

When I went to Japan it was refreshing to see everyone wearing masks all the time. True, it's a bit ridiculous to wear one on the street with no one around but indoors everyone was respectful of each other.

But here in the US? I see maybe 1/4 of the employees wearing masks and even fewer customers.

What say you goons?

Yes, I wear an N95 everywhere I go if it's indoors or someplace outdoors with crowds. I have a wife with health problems, a dad with cancer, and I still have ongoing issues from my COVID infection last year, so I try really hard not to put myself in positions where I will be exposed. I expect to be masking for a long, long time.

The mutant strain where vaccines have highly reduced efficacy was several strains ago

Yeah, I wear a cloth one and discovered wearing it helped with my social anxiety. I wore it this morning also cause it was cold here and it blocked the wind.

Everyone here stopped wearing masks as soon as the mandates went away, so did I. I can't see poo poo with a mask fogging up my glasses all the time so I kinda gave up.

Honestly the only options are to wear a mask for the rest of your life or give it up since covids never going away, and I'm definitely not doing it for the rest of my life lol

N95s cut down considerably on glasses fog. I know from experience.

You'll still get the occasional cloud but if you seal it and pinch the nose wire it's manageable.

i started again recently since the RSV/FLU/COVID triple threat thing is filling up the local hospitals.

Noticed an uptick in the rest of the public doing the same.

I use n95 but i only ever see other people with cloth/surgical masks

I got kinda lax for a while but with cold & flu season rolling in I started up again at the grocery store or other crowded places. I’m not the only one either. I’d say at the grocery store yesterday it was probably 40% masked.

If you still want to wear one - that's fine, nobody cares. But my dude, we are well past the stage of virtue signaling over wearing one.

this but more like 10% masked here.

I noticed a lot more employees were masking though even if the herd wasn't bothering

Norway here. I don't think I've seen anyone wear a mask for for more than a year, probably like a year and a half, if not more. People here barely even wore them for most of the height of the pandemic, I'd say it was only a couple of months where where you saw most people wearing masks. I'm pretty sure I had a covid in November.

I think it's weird to have Americans being like all shocked how their country has opened up again and people aren't wearing masks any more. You're not unique, and there's a lot of countries where people mask use was waaaaaaaay more lax than in the US.

I never saw anyone wear an N-whatever mask at any point during the pandemic, it was always the cheap disposable masks you got at the supermarket.
