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.

2. There was a time when most people were wearing them around here.

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.

I'm around people who have cancer and or other health problems. A good friend of the family dies about 3 weeks ago from Sar 2 Covid at the Veteran Hospital in West Los Angeles, he was not vaccinated and a shithole supporter.

March, but we'll see. I don't believe masks are still required in San Diego county. Just L.A. and one other county somewhere in the state.

Only saw 1 man without a mask. Then went to Trader Joe’s everyone had a mask on.

I’m waiting a couple of weeks to see where we are until I consider going massless.

It's wonderful to see people want to protect the high risk and young children. Especially when it's at an essential business like the grocery store, bank, or pharmacy that immune compromised people might have to go to.

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.

Santa Clara and San Mateo seem to be keeping mask requirements. At least everyone at CostCo was wearing one today
