Question So, have you thrown way your masks?

I went to the supermarket today and chose to still wear my mask. Even though I am fully vaccinated.
Why? Because my city has repeatedly been named as having one of the lowest vaccination rates in the county. And no vaccine has a 100% efficacy rate.

The store employees still wore masks and about half of the patrons. I noticed that most seniors are still wearing masks.

In CA, one still has to wear a mask to medical facilities.

I might have jury duty next week and the courts still mandate masks and social distancing. That's A-OK with me!

Do you still wear your mask sometimes?

I wear mine dependent on where I am.

In my town, most are still wearing them, so I do, too. I'm guessing it makes others more comfortable and I don't mind doing that.

A couple of weeks ago, we spent a week camping in a beach area. I didn't see but a mask or two that whole week. Not in stores, restaurants, water parks, nothing. When in Rome...

Definitely.

Just today I met with a group from my church without a mask, but we've all been vaccinated.

Yesterday I went to church without a mask, but my general sense is that most of our (elderly) congregation has been vaccinated.

Out in the rest of the world? Definitely masked up, even at the gasoline pump.

Vaccination rates here are ridiculously low.

Yep, I wear mine - not when I walk the dog, but in stores, post office, gas station, etc. I’m having major surgery next month, so I’m happy to mask up.

I am still wearing them in indoor public places. I'm fully vaxxed but can still contract Covid and pass it to others, and there are plenty of variants.

I still wear mine and will continue to wear it for a long time. I was at Jiffy Lube yesterday for an oil change and out of the 7 people in the waiting area, I was the only one wearing a mask.

I have a co-worker who forgot to put on their mask when entering a convenience store and when the store clerk asked her about not wearing it she said she was vaccinated. In fact, she's not vaccinated. And that's the very reason I'm going to continue to wear mine.

I wear one at work because NYS requires masks be worn in school buildings. And I had to put one on last week when I went to the chiropractor's office because NYS requires masks in all medical facilities.

Beyond that, if it isn't required, no I am not wearing one anymore. I am fully vaccinated and I have the NYS Excelsior pass on my cell phone.

We went to a retirement party a couple of nights ago and there wasn't one mask in the room (vaccinated school personnel). It was so wonderful to see people's faces!

I wear them when in (potentially) crowded indoor public places. Some businesses here still require them, but wearing masks is no longer required by the state. I have auto-immune disorders and I don't trust that I'm as covered as others whose immune systems are healthy.
