And the stores say , Fully vaxed=no mask, non vaxed=mask required.
But at the stores this morning, about 90% were wearing masks and we have a high vaxed rate.
This is in Sacramento.

(51,651 posts)Usually it is mostly men who choose to stop wearing them when mandates are lifted, at least from my observations, and I live in a blue area.
My neighbor was in the hospital for 3 days about 2 weeks ago and he was vaxxed, boosted and masked. He is a bus driver for the city. Covid IS still out there.

(16,867 posts)But at the beginning of the year, I started seeing fewer and fewer people who were wearing masks. Hardly anybody wears them now. In fact, when I see someone wearing a mask now, I think that they must have an underlying medical condition. At least I've never heard about anyone making fun of people in masks or raising hell about having to wear one. Not around here, anyway. I think things will have to get pretty bad before they start wearing them again.

The gov lifted the indoor mask mandate for many public places but I still see lots of people wearing them for now anyway. My school system is still requiring them.
